He made his money scamming clients.
Who did he will those jets to? And his island.
He traded in the name of his shell companies.
Used a different name?
I’ve heard blackmail pays reeeeally well...
Well, I hear he just ran a social club that had pretty young girls sitting around as a place for important people to come and make private business deals. It was a “hospitality” business. Those teen girls were decor or eye candy.
That odd temple thing was a wine and beer cellar.
It was all very innocent. /Big sarc and LOL
Government asset subsidies are lucrative.
I’ve maintained that he probably wasn’t as rich as claimed. He was a salaried employee whose property was actually owned by whichever agency he actually worked for. Everything was a front for this guy
No he was a Repression specialist of debts owed who’s targets were the Rich and Famous..
And yes I don't think our own CIA is any less depraved, they justify everything as a necessary evil.
“How interesting.”
Why? Many people buy and sell stock and bonds, real property, and other assets using trusts, limited liability companies, and other entities that hide their identity.

Mike Benz is well informed. Many years with State Department. He understands what Epstein was. The young girls were not the real money deals.
This is how we can figure it out...just follow the money!
The plot thickens.
(BTW ... anything re Bongino today? Haven’t seen anything at all.)
Epstein was rich before he set up his sleazy island. In fact he set up the island to reduce his taxes. Corporate raider. Financial management of billionaires. Hedge fund investor turned 80m to 140m. his story is crazy and hard to follow.
Point being he didnt need blackmail to become rich. The gist of his strange perverted life is summed up at wikipedia if anyone cares.
Within WEEKS of nabbing his first client, CEO of The Limited - parent of Victoria's Secret - Epstein started claiming he was an agent for VS who could get models chosen for their catalogs. Two models later claimed sexual assault by Epstein and Maxwell.
He made his money in finance and wealth management. He was never a trader, therefore no stock trades.
Accusing him of not doing what he never did is a needle looking for a haystack.
See the extensive interview with physicist Eric Weinstein— who definitely identified Epstein as a fraudster, and liar.
He was quite scared of Epstein as he says in the interview- and called Epstein an “algorithm” not a human but a construct of a demonic person for “useful purposes”.
Makes a great deal of sense.
What sayeth Bear Stearns?
Seems several are pointing the finger at Israel. I don’t believe he could have gotten away with what he was doing without participation from the CIA and probably the FBI. Was Israel involved? Maybe. The Brits were likely involved too. They seem to have their nose in everything.
