Santa Fe Spa Denies Supplying Massage Therapists to Jeffrey Epstein (5/7/26) · The Vault: The Epstein Files

• 0:00
  Speaker 1: What's up, everyone, and welcome to another episode of the
• 0:03
  Epstein Chronicles. Well, it looks like the investigation into Jeffrey
• 0:07
  Epstein in New Mexico is heating up, and a spa
• 0:11
  down in Santa Fe named ten thousand Waves has entered
• 0:15
  the chat. And according to ten thousand Waves, they had
• 0:19
  nothing to do with Jeffrey Epstein. But we do know
• 0:22
  that Epstein love to go to these kinds of places
• 0:25
  or send his people there to recruit people to come
• 0:28
  and give him massages. So if there's any evidence that's
• 0:31
  been uncovered by the investigation in New Mexico that that
• 0:34
  was happening, then that should be looked at. Now, to
• 0:39
  be clear, I've never even heard of ten thousand Waves
• 0:43
  or this spa ever before, so I'm not going to
• 0:46
  sit here and tell you that it's something that we've
• 0:48
  talked about or someplace that's been accused previously. But when
• 0:54
  you're having an investigation like this and you have to
• 0:56
  go back over all the details, you have to take
• 0:59
  a look at everything. And according to the reports and
• 1:04
  more crucially in the files, Epstein certainly had some kind
• 1:07
  of relationship with ten thousand Waves. Were they sending them girls? Well,
• 1:12
  that's the question. And if they were, was it on
• 1:15
  a professional basis or was something else happening. So today's
• 1:19
  article is from the Albuquerque Journal and the headline ten
• 1:23
  thousand Waves denies allegations of Epstein ties. This article was
• 1:28
  authored by Nikaela mcclealan. A Santa Fe spa and resort
• 1:33
  has denied on social media allegations it sent massage therapists
• 1:37
  to disgrace financier Jeffrey Epstein's new Mexico ranch after the
• 1:41
  business appeared in various files released by the US Department
• 1:45
  of Justice. Social media accusers have accused ten thousand Waves,
• 1:50
  a Japanese inspired resort that offers massages, hot tubs, and
• 1:56
  skincare services, as sending messuses in supplying girls to Zoro Ranch,
• 2:01
  a property Epstein owned in Santa Fe County. Now, look,
• 2:05
  I don't know. I'll be very honest with you. I
• 2:07
  have no idea. But if the name is appearing in
• 2:10
  the files, why was he sending girls to this place
• 2:13
  or vice versa. That's a legitimate question and was anyone abused?
• 2:18
  And I'm sure that's what the investigators are trying to
• 2:20
  hammer down. In response, ten thousand Waves refuted all claims
• 2:25
  that the business was associated with Epstein in any way,
• 2:29
  and said the SPA has never provided therapist for off
• 2:32
  premise house calls. According to a social media post from
• 2:35
  ten thousand Waves, well is that on an official basis?
• 2:39
  Did girls that work there go on their off time? Again?
• 2:44
  I don't know. These are the questions that we have
• 2:47
  to dig into, though, and if we want to get
• 2:50
  to the bottom of it, again, no rock can be
• 2:53
  left unturned. Got to dive in, God, ask the questions,
• 2:57
  got to do the legwork, and it looks like in
• 3:00
  Mexico they're doing that. We never tolerate any behavior that
• 3:05
  would jeopardize the health or safety of our massage therapists
• 3:08
  and guests, according to the statement. Sarah Bean, chief operations
• 3:12
  officer for ten thousand Waves, said that she had known
• 3:15
  since February that the business had been mentioned in the
• 3:18
  Epstein files, but it wasn't until the end of April
• 3:21
  that there had been less reasonable implications towards ten thousand Waves.
• 3:27
  And I just caution everybody to be very very careful
• 3:30
  what they believe on social media. You have to keep
• 3:32
  in mind that there is financial incentive for people to
• 3:36
  push the most salacious claims. That's how they draw engagement.
• 3:40
  That's how they end up on the Piers Morgan Show.
• 3:43
  That's how they end up, you know, selling you merchandise
• 3:47
  and looking at you like a customer. And there's a
• 3:49
  lot of people that are out there pitching a lot
• 3:51
  of bs and look, that doesn't mean that what people
• 3:53
  are saying is always incorrect. There's a lot of people
• 3:56
  out there that are on point, but you have to
• 3:59
  be aware that there are certainly a bunch of snake
• 4:01
  oil salesmen out there that are looking to benefit from
• 4:05
  the most salacious parts of this story. They have no
• 4:07
  desire to get to justice. They have no desire for
• 4:10
  this to end. What they want is to keep the
• 4:12
  grift going, and if that means making things up, they'll
• 4:17
  do that. We don't farm our massage therapists out the
• 4:21
  third party locations or at other businesses. Being told the
• 4:24
  Journal on Monday, our massage therapists are all independent contractors
• 4:29
  and we're perfectly happy if they take work outside of
• 4:31
  the waves. That's something we encourage, but we also don't
• 4:35
  control what they do outside of work they do here
• 4:38
  on the property. So it looks like they were independent contractors,
• 4:41
  right and some of these women. Most certainly, we're at
• 4:45
  Epstein's house given massages. Whether it advanced past that, who knows.
• 4:51
  We'll have to listen to what the women say. But
• 4:53
  words matter, and what being saying here is that these
• 4:56
  women might have done it on their own, but it
• 4:59
  wasn't the facility that was sending them to Jeffrey Epstein.
• 5:04
  The Epstein files mentioned ten thousand Waves twenty times. Although
• 5:08
  some of the documents are duplicates, a majority of the
• 5:11
  mentions come from FBI investigation documents and two emails from
• 5:15
  Epstein where he mentions going to the spa for a massage.
• 5:19
  I'm going to ten thousand Waves tomorrow at four thirty pm,
• 5:22
  Epstein wrote in an August twenty fifteen email. Now that
• 5:26
  doesn't prove anything, right, doesn't mean that ten thousand Waves
• 5:30
  was part of Epstein's operation, but it does put him there,
• 5:36
  and I would guess that he was friendly with people
• 5:38
  at ten thousand Waves, whether it was management, ownership, whatever.
• 5:43
  When you have that kind of money, you have that
• 5:45
  kind of power. The people who own the place where
• 5:48
  you're hanging out, they're going to want to get to
• 5:49
  know you. And Jeffrey Epstein, well, he always wanted to
• 5:53
  get to know everybody. That way he could figure out
• 5:56
  who he could use and who he couldn't. Another document
• 6:02
  in the files details a transcribed interview between the FBI
• 6:05
  and Epstein's former chief pilot, Larry Vasoski, in which he
• 6:09
  describes the scheduled massages Epstein would receive at Zoro Ranch.
• 6:13
  When the messuss showed up, they were from a professional
• 6:17
  salon in Santa Fe, asked an FBI agent that was
• 6:20
  called ten thousand Waves. Is that right? I know that
• 6:24
  the salon existed and it was famous for massage service. Yes,
• 6:28
  Vasoski said, I don't think anybody should doubt that Jeffrey
• 6:32
  Epstein was using massage therapists from this facility. The question
• 6:36
  is were they just professional massages or was it something else.
• 6:42
  In one of the documents, FBI investigation detailed that Epstein
• 6:45
  acquired messuses from ten thousand Waves or by referrals. Records
• 6:50
  state that there have been approximately five different therapists used
• 6:53
  in the past, though it's unclear how many, if any,
• 6:56
  worked at ten thousand Waves. We do our best to
• 7:00
  create a safe space for a massage therapists and our clients,
• 7:03
  and we have always done that we were not involved
• 7:06
  directly in providing any sort of service to Jeffrey Epstein
• 7:09
  while he was here, Well except when he was at
• 7:12
  the property, right, didn't you give him massages then? And look,
• 7:16
  there's nothing illegal about that. Let's be very clear, let's
• 7:19
  not get too carried away. Now. The question is were
• 7:24
  any of these women sent from somebody over at ten
• 7:28
  thousand Waves, because that's a different story entirely. If they
• 7:31
  went on their own in their own time and they
• 7:35
  happened to work at ten thousand Waves, well that's kind
• 7:38
  of a gray area, right. They're not being sent from
• 7:42
  their job, they're doing it on their off time, their
• 7:46
  personal time. So is ten thousand Waves responsible if they
• 7:50
  get abused, Well, that's the question, and I think that
• 7:54
  it depends. If they were sent there by somebody at
• 7:57
  ten thousand Waves and they were told, look, you have
• 8:00
  to go see Epstein work for them whatever, then that
• 8:03
  was the work event, and I think ten thousand Waves
• 8:06
  should be held accountable for that. However, if it's something
• 8:10
  that happened after they might have met Epstein at ten
• 8:12
  thousand Waves and then the abuse happened at Epstein's ranch,
• 8:16
  that's more of a gray area. Right, because these women,
• 8:21
  at least according to what we're hearing here, were adults, right.
• 8:24
  So they went to Epstein's house of their own accord.
• 8:29
  But what happened when they got to that house is
• 8:31
  the big question. Were they abused? Did they just give
• 8:34
  them a massage? Are there women out there who haven't
• 8:37
  come forward who might have worked at ten thousand Waves?
• 8:40
  All questions that need to be answered, right, And hopefully
• 8:44
  with this investigation that we're seeing from New Mexico, they're
• 8:47
  going to get to the bottom of all of it,
• 8:49
  because there's a lot that happened in New Mexico that
• 8:52
  really was just never reported. And I know I talk
• 8:55
  about it all the time, and I'm sure you're tired
• 8:57
  of hearing about it. But Zoro Ranch it was pretty
• 9:00
  much the key to all of this. And if they
• 9:03
  would have rated Zoro Ranch, I can only imagine what
• 9:06
  kind of information they would have found. Look, everybody knew
• 9:10
  about Epstein's townhouse in New York, everybody knew about the
• 9:13
  island in Florida. Not very many people were hit to
• 9:16
  Zoro Ranch. So if you were somebody like Epstein and
• 9:20
  you had a bunch of things you wanted to keep secret,
• 9:22
  a bunch of things you wanted, private, things you wanted
• 9:24
  to keep in as safe or whatever. Which property would
• 9:28
  you keep them at? I know, for me it would
• 9:30
  be Zoro Ranch without a doubt. I mean, the place
• 9:33
  basically functioned as an impregnable fortress. So if I was
• 9:36
  gonna hide secrets, that's where I'd stash them. But of
• 9:39
  course we'll never know, because the investigators, the DOJ, the state,
• 9:44
  everybody at the time, well, they all decided that Zoro
• 9:47
  Ranch wasn't worth rating. And because of that decision, and
• 9:50
  it was a decision, not an oversight. That means we're
• 9:54
  never gonna know what really happened there, and the evidence
• 9:57
  that could have backed it all up is long go.
• 10:00
  And now that the State of New Mexico has decided
• 10:03
  to actually investigate, how much evidence has been lost, how
• 10:07
  much has walked away, how many people who had evidence
• 10:10
  have passed away? And of course that's one of the
• 10:12
  biggest problems that we're dealing with at this point. There's
• 10:16
  been so much time that has elapsed since what went
• 10:19
  down at Zoro Ranch and now and with all that
• 10:22
  evidence not being preserved, it's very hard to get to
• 10:25
  the bottom of what actually went down, so hopefully the
• 10:28
  authorities in New Mexico can figure some of it out
• 10:32
  and try and paint a picture for the rest of
• 10:34
  us about Jeffrey Epstein and his activities at Zoro Ranch.
• 10:39
  The question is just how deep and how far are
• 10:42
  they going to go. All of the information that goes
• 10:45
  with this episode can be found in the description box.
