Ghislaine Maxwell forms 'highly secretive' prison crew as rumors swirl behind bars: report

Ghislaine Maxwell has reportedly assembled a highly secretive prison group behind bars as more details behind her incarceration at a minimum security facility have been revealed, The Daily Mail reported on Tuesday.The former partner and co-conspirator of Jeffrey Epstein has befriended three women and allegedly sees them as the finest and best educated among the population at Federal Prison Camp Bryan in Texas, according to The Mail. These friends include Bethany Cataldi, 54, a disgraced doctor serving eight years for charging the government for non-existent procedures. Another is former CFO Antonietta Nguyen, 58, who plundered 9 million from company funds to splurge on purses and luxury vacations. Maxwell's reported best friend is Jennifer Bengston Cook, 58, a former bookkeeper who wrote checks worth 1.6 million to herself.They are highly secretive. They whisper to one another and cover their mouths so nobody can understand what they are saying, a source told The Mail.There are also reports of special privileges for Maxwell behind bars, including the decision over who she bunks with at the location. She has also only had one roommate, while most other prisoners have to bunk with two other people.The cozy arrangement caused a stink because it's normally up to prison counsellors to decide who sleeps where inside the 37-acre compound that accommodates 635 women, The Mail reported.One source told The Mail the former socialite has sway inside the prison.Max had a different bunkie to begin with but as soon as that girl was released, Jennifer took her place, a source told The Mail. If the rumors are to be believed, Max picked her because they are so close. Nobody else gets to choose who they live with, the source explained. It's typical of the sort of special treatment she enjoys.
