US EditionEpstein Files Reveal 2013 Xbox Live Ban
Microsoft banned Jeffrey Epstein in 2013 as part of New York state's initiative to remove registered sex offenders from online gaming platforms to protect children.
- XboxEra uncovered a December 2013 Microsoft email showing Jeffrey Epstein's Xbox Live account was permanently suspended.
- Microsoft had signed on to a New York-led purge in April 2012, and a follow-up email said Epstein was banned because he was a registered sex offender under the 'Sex Offender E-STOP' policy.
- Microsoft's suspension notice detailed behavioural triggers including threats, stalking, and sharing personal data, and informed refunds of Xbox Live Gold and unused Microsoft points within 30 days; access on Xbox 360 and Xbox One was limited.
- The enforcement removed all device sign-ins and cancelled subscriptions, and Microsoft said the decision could not be appealed because it relied on registered sex offender registry data.
- Emails indicate he joined Xbox Live in October 2012, and the Department of Justice released more than three million pages prompting renewed scrutiny of his account active for roughly 14 months.
