Texas real-estate mogul and MAGA millionaire Don Huffines, currently a candidate for Texas Comptroller, turned heads Sunday after being revealed to have been the mystery purchaser of Jeffrey Epstein’s “Zorro Ranch,” a sprawling complex spanning over 7,600 acres in central New Mexico.

First reported on Friday by the Sante Fe New Mexican, Huffines had purchased Epstein’s ranch in 2023 using a limited liability company he created just weeks before the purchase. The ranch, which Huffines has since renamed “Rancho de San Rafael,” was at the center of Epstein’s supposed plan to “seed the human race with his DNA by impregnating women,” the New York Times previously reported.

“What an odd piece of property to purchase,” wrote one stunned onlooker, journalist Molly Jong-Fast, in a social media post Sunday on X.

Huffines proudly touts his support of President Donald Trump on his campaign website, and his son, Russell Huffines, was hired by the Trump administration last June as associate director of agency outreach, a position he’s paid $83,500 a year for and still holds today, RealClear Investigations has reported.

The New Mexico complex was also mentioned in a particularly disturbing email published recently in the Justice Department’s online database of Epstein files.

In the email, an individual alleged that the bodies of at least “two foreign girls” were buried at the property, both of whom died by strangulation. The email prompted a top New Mexico official to call for an investigation into the property as recently as Friday.

As to why Huffines would purchase the property, critics were left wondering, with some noting the connections between the Huffines family and the Trump administration.

“Far-right Republican Don Huffines of Texas bought Epstein’s disgraced Zorro Ranch in New Mexico. His son, Russell Huffines, works in the White House,” wrote author Brittany Belle to their nearly 125,000 followers on X. “Yet another name connected to Epstein’s past inside the [White House] orbit.”

The post IP Hits $11.75, HYPE Climbs to $55, BlockDAG Surpasses Both with $407M Presale Surge! appeared on BitcoinEthereumNews.com. Crypto News 17 September 2025 | 18:00 Discover why BlockDAG’s upcoming Awakening Testnet launch makes it the best crypto to buy today as Story (IP) price jumps to $11.75 and Hyperliquid hits new highs. Recent crypto market numbers show strength but also some limits. The Story (IP) price jump has been sharp, fueled by big buybacks and speculation, yet critics point out that revenue still lags far behind its valuation. The Hyperliquid (HYPE) price looks solid around the mid-$50s after a new all-time high, but questions remain about sustainability once the hype around USDH proposals cools down. So the obvious question is: why chase coins that are either stretched thin or at risk of retracing when you could back a network that’s already proving itself on the ground? That’s where BlockDAG comes in. While other chains are stuck dealing with validator congestion or outages, BlockDAG’s upcoming Awakening Testnet will be stress-testing its EVM-compatible smart chain with real miners before listing. For anyone looking for the best crypto coin to buy, the choice between waiting on fixes or joining live progress feels like an easy one. BlockDAG: Smart Chain Running Before Launch Ethereum continues to wrestle with gas congestion, and Solana is still known for network freezes, yet BlockDAG is already showing a different picture. Its upcoming Awakening Testnet, set to launch on September 25, isn’t just a demo; it’s a live rollout where the chain’s base protocols are being stress-tested with miners connected globally. EVM compatibility is active, account abstraction is built in, and tools like updated vesting contracts and Stratum integration are already functional. Instead of waiting for fixes like other networks, BlockDAG is proving its infrastructure in real time. What makes this even more important is that the technology is operational before the coin even hits exchanges. That…
