Epstein - Follow The Money!

Jeffrey Epstein, the disgraced financier, was a college dropout who managed to amass a fortune that's difficult to explain before dying mysteriously in his jail cell in 2019. He wasn't a rapper like P. Diddy. Yet, he owned two private islands, multiple private jets, and homes all over the world.

He befriended presidents, princes, scientists, celebrities, businessmen, and billionaires, and was described by prosecutors in 2019 as a man of nearly infinite means. Yet, despite years of investigations, no one can say with certainty how he made his money. Bloomberg wrote after his arrest in 2019 that for all his infamy, there are scant details of how he made his money.

He went on to work for a few years at Bear Sterns and after being laid off claimed to be running a money management firm for the ultra wealthy. His firm's operations were opaque, its client list never disclosed, and its assets never verified. He had only one confirmed client, and everything else is a fog of speculation, secretive offshore companies, whispered blackmail theories, and a social circle that included everyone from US presidents to British royalty. The controversy over Epstein's debt became a hot topic once again when Donald Trump returned to office in January.

Trump chose top law enforcement officials like Pam Bondi, Dan Bonino, and Cash Patel, who earned much of their political capital by encouraging conspiracy theories about the deep state. Trump himself had implied on multiple occasions that there was information in the Epstein files that would take down his political opponents. >> Bill Clinton, a nice guy, uh got a lot of problems coming up, in my opinion, with the famous island with Jeffrey Epstein.
