He traded in the name of his shell companies.
You’re on the right trail.
Why would he be trading in his own name?
I would highly doubt anything “WallStreetApes” is reporting if they think this is some sort of bombshell.
Epstein was a registered broker for the firm HORNOR, TOWNSEND & KENT, INC. (CRD# 4031)... Any trades he was personally doing for clients were almost certainly done in this firms name, not his own.
