flag Microsoft banned Jeffrey Epstein from Xbox Live in 2013 due to his sex offender status, per internal emails.

flag Jeffrey Epstein was permanently banned from Xbox Live in December 2013 after Microsoft discovered he was a registered sex offender, according to newly released internal emails. flag While an initial notice cited harassment, threats, or abuse, a follow-up message confirmed the suspension was due to his status on the sex offender registry. flag The ban was part of a New York state initiative Microsoft joined in April 2012 to block registered sex offenders from online platforms to protect minors. flag Epstein had created his account in October 2012, and though there is no clear evidence he actively played games, he made inquiries about Xbox hardware and charges as late as 2019. flag Microsoft canceled his subscription, revoked digital content access, and refunded unused value. flag The release of these documents offers new insight into Epstein’s digital activity before his 2019 federal arrest.
