COLUMBUS, Ohio — The money, tens of millions of dollars of it, would flow among Jeffrey Epstein’s dozens of bank accounts, shell companies and, at times, charities linked to high-powered friends.
Where was the money going? What was it for? Who was actually sending and receiving it?
A convicted pedophile and accused sex trafficker who surrounded himself with an elite network of business and political leaders, Mr. Epstein enjoyed the trappings of great wealth: private jets, mansions, his own island. But much remains unknown about the sources of his wealth.
Legions of lawyers, bankers and accountants have been trying in recent weeks to solve that mystery, and their quest is unlikely to end after Mr. Epstein was found dead on Saturday morning. The answers could illuminate how Mr. Epstein allegedly operated a long-running sex-trafficking operation, whether he had help from others and who — including Mr. Epstein’s victims — will receive any of his remaining assets. It is not known if Mr. Epstein had a will.
[Update: Why the Epstein investigation is not over.]
Interviews with people briefed on various investigations into Mr. Epstein’s wealth, and legal and financial documents in multiple countries, show that tens of millions of dollars coursed through his offshore companies and foundations in sometimes unusual ways. In the early 2000s, for example, $88 million appeared in Mr. Epstein’s Virgin Islands-registered company that normally was home to only small amounts of money. At another point, an entity once linked to Mr. Epstein sent tens of millions of dollars to the charity of a billionaire retail tycoon, Leslie H. Wexner — years after Mr. Wexner has said he severed ties with Mr. Epstein.
Executives at the companies with the deepest connections to Mr. Epstein expect that federal prosecutors will intensify their focus on his financial affairs. ..

Golly, I just hope none of these people took Monica Lewinky's name in vain (/s).
ITEM--Doug Band ran Teneo Consulting which some consider the Collection Agency for individuals wishing to gain access
to the Buy-Me Clintons. Besides a foundation "donation), a huge speaking fee for Bill was always part of the access deal.
ITEM---When she was running State, Hillary gave her top aide, Huma Abedin, a dispensation to work at State AND
Teneo both at the same time. Sen Grassley rightly called this the MO to sell top secret political intelligence to big buck buyers.
ITEM---Billyboy had that "pass-through" account.....monet deposited in the AM was out in the PM....
could have gone anywhere....numbred accounts, offshore banks, hedge funds, another "do-good foundation."
Trumps fault, because of his uh, racism and stuff! Yeah that’s it!
Article says they went to Brunei together!! The Sultan of Brunei had SEX SLAVES!!!!
What a lovely photo...grandpa and granddaughter.
Dershowitz isn’t the type.Prince Andrew just might be the type.And as for BillyBob....I’m undecided. </s>
One needn’t give up US citizenship to gain a second citizenship.Dual citizenship is allowed under US law.
If he has dual citizenship, he may be subject to arrest under US law. However, if he does a Tina Turner and gives up his citizenship to live in a country where pedophilia is legal he may not be.
And if Tom Hanks is,by chance,guilty of such stuff then it doesn't matter if he's renounced his US citizenship...as long as he was a US citizen while he was abusing kids.
THAT’S what is up with Tom Hanks! Thank you.
Well of course he did. He’s the biggest hound since Sam Malone.
Who are they protecting..

OMG!! ALL of those places are Notorious for underaged SEX TOURISM!! GOOD GRIEF!
I think this is the real story about Epstein. The sex part of, although serious crimes were probably committed, is meant to titillate and distract. Where did the money come from, and if it was laundered, why did it need laundering?
“They paid him money & he furnished the children”
My God that’s sickening.
Please God get Your vengeance.
