My first impression when I heard about this part-time high school math teacher hobnobbing with America’s financial makers and shakers was the he must have been working for some foreign power (Could even be the CIA?), and Mossad seems like the obvious choice. However, his sexual appetites made him personally vulnerable. Maybe he was free agent, and hooked up one tycoon with an underaged girl, a la Senator Garrity, and then leveraged the situation after that, to find other indiscreet powerful men.
He was far too indiscreet personally to be of use to a solid intelligence service, I believe.
Money Laundering. He was involved with Iran-Contra and the biggest arms deal in the UK.
Then maybe they just put with with his other nonsense. I don’t believe that. Everything was wired as per victims.

Lol!

Epstein joined Bear Stearns in 1976 as a low-level junior assistant to a floor trader.[42] He swiftly moved up to become an options trader, working in the special products division, and then advised the bank’s wealthiest clients, such as Seagram president Edgar Bronfman, on tax mitigation strategies.[32][43][44] Jimmy Cayne, the bank’s later chief executive officer, praised Epstein’s skill with wealthy clients and complex products. In 1980, four years after joining Bear Stearns, Epstein became a limited partner.
Epstein founded his own consulting firm, Intercontinental Assets Group Inc. (IAG)
U.S. Attorney General.[30]

Steven Hoffenberg hired Epstein in 1987 as a consultant for Towers Financial Corporation (unaffiliated with the company of the same name founded in 1998, and acquired by Old National Bancorp in 2014),[59] a collection agency that bought debts people owed to hospitals, banks, and phone companies.[60][61] Hoffenberg set Epstein up in offices in the Villard Houses in Manhattan and paid him US$25,000 per month for his consulting work (equivalent to $69,000 in 2024) In 1993, Towers Financial Corporation imploded when it was exposed as one of the biggest Ponzi schemes in American history
The only publicly known billionaire client of Epstein was Leslie Wexner, chairman and CEO of L Brands (formerly The Limited, Inc.) and Victoria’s Secret.
Wexner granted Epstein full power of attorney over his affairs. The power of attorney allowed Epstein to hire people, sign checks, buy and sell properties, borrow money, and do anything else of a legally binding nature on Wexner’s behalf.
