Yes, Epstein's sole skill was hiding money.

Billionaires like Leon Black were using him for that. Grok:

Leon Black, the billionaire co-founder of Apollo Global Management, paid Jeffrey Epstein $158 million between 2012 and 2017 for what Black described as "tax and estate planning advice." ...

The Senate Finance Committee, led by Sen. Ron Wyden (D-Ore.), launched an investigation in 2023 into whether these payments facilitated tax evasion or avoidance schemes, potentially saving Black $1–2 billion in estate taxes.

Key allegations include Epstein structuring complex Grantor Retained Annuity Trusts (GRATs) involving Black's art collection (valued at ~$1 billion), where artworks were transferred into trusts to minimize taxable estate value while allowing Black to retain control and benefits.

Emails and documents revealed in 2025 show Epstein advising on art sales and trusts to Epstein-linked entities, potentially as a way to obscure transactions and evade taxes.

After years of political smears and media insinuations, even The New York Times has now conceded what testimony and documents have already made clear: there has never been any evidence tying President Donald Trump to Jeffrey Epstein’s trafficking operation.

The Times’s new report, authored by Nicholas Confessore and Julie Tate, leans heavily on decades-old photos and anecdotes in an attempt to frame Trump and Epstein as socially connected in the 1990s.

But buried beneath the narrative, the paper finally acknowledges reality.

“An examination of their history by The New York Times has found no evidence implicating Mr. Trump in Mr. Epstein’s abuse and trafficking of minors,” the article admits.

Epstein victim sues as she was NOT entirely redacted out of the recent Epstein Files release.

Lol, just no pleasing some people.

Here's about 300 pages of crap saying the Feds did nothing wrong in letting Epstein serve 18 months (well 13 with good behavior where he was able to leave jail for 12 hours a day to "work" at a business he himself se up. Give 4 listed co-conspirators a Non-prosecution agreement (doesn't say who they are. but Maxwell was on of 'em), and non-prosecution agreements for pretty much any other unlisted co-conspirator.

Nope, the fellow Feds (Feds investigating Feds what the FUCK did you expect) didn't do anything other than bad judgements.

On Sunday, Rep. Ro Khanna and Rep. Thomas Massie announced they will move to hold Attorney General Pam Bondi in inherent contempt of Congress, building a bipartisan coalition to fine her daily for noncompliance.
Last month, Congress passed the Epstein Files Transparency Act giving the DOJ 30 days to disclose records, but critics say the Friday release was incomplete and heavily redacted.
Fuming at Attorney General Pam Bondi, Khanna said the redactions are a `slap in the face of survivors`, and Massie told CBS' `Face the Nation` the quickest way to get justice is to hold Bondi in contempt.
Khanna and Massie proposed fining Attorney General Pam Bondi daily for noncompliance, warning inherent contempt lets Congress fine or detain officials and could enable prosecuting DOJ officials.

I'm pretty sure that important facts are still being hidden.

What is that?

Patrick says

I remember hearing his brother Mark Epstein express doubt that the body from prison was actually his brother's.

Mark also wants Bannon to be forced to release his hours and hours of Epstein interview tapes.

I'm all for that.

Patrick says

What is that?

Not sure if serious.

Future President Donald Trump traveled on notorious pedophile Jeffrey Epstein’s private jet at least eight times during the mid-1990s, according to flight records reviewed by Manhattan federal prosecutors ahead of the arrest of Epstein’s accomplice Ghislaine Maxwell.

A Jan. 8, 2020, email laying out the trips was part of the latest release of thousands of files by the Justice Department early Tuesday. ...

The email provides no evidence that Trump was aware of Epstein’s sex crimes against women and girls as young as 14, nor does it indicate wrongdoing on the part of the president.

While speaking to reporters, Trump addressed the resurfacing images connected to Clinton and made clear he was displeased by their release.

“I don’t like the pictures of Bill Clinton being shown. I don’t like the pictures of other people being shown. I think it’s a terrible thing. I think Bill Clinton is a big boy. He can handle it,” Trump said.

STATEMENT BY ANGEL UREÑA
SPOKESMAN FOR FORMER PRESIDENT BILL CLINTON
The Epstein Files Transparency Act imposes a clear legal duty on the U.S.
Department of Justice to produce the full and complete record the public
demands and deserves.
However, what the Department of Justice has released so far, and the
manner in which it did so, makes one thing clear: someone or something
is being protected. We do not know whom, what or why. But we do know this:
We need no such protection.
Accordingly, we call on President Trump to direct Attorney General Bondi
to immediately release any remaining materials referring to, mentioning,
or containing a photograph of Bill Clinton.
This includes, without limitation, any records that may exist and are
subject to disclosure under the Act (Public Law 119-38 enacted Nov. 19,
2025), including grand jury transcripts, interview notes, photographs,
and findings by the United States Attorney for the Southern District of
New York (as referenced under oath to Congress by President Trump's
first-term Attorney General).
Refusal to do SO will confirm the widespread suspicion the Department of
Justice's actions to date are not about transparency, but about
insinuation
using selective releases to imply wrongdoing about
individuals who have already been repeatedly cleared by the very same
Department of Justice, over many years, under Presidents and Attorneys
General of both parties.

Interesting that they admit that "someone or something is being protected."

I can see that that page is about Darren Indyke, a lawyer associated with Jeffrey Epstein.

Patrick says

I think it’s fake, I tried and nothing pasted.

Right, could be fake.

Patrick says

Right, could be fake.

However this one is not fake. documents show he met with CIA director William Burns multiple times.

https://www.wsj.com/us-news/jeffrey-epstein-calendar-cia-director-goldman-sachs-noam-chomsky-c9f6a3ff

So definitely lines up with other findings, that he was moving money for CIA doing all sorts of dirty crap that Mike Benz been talking about. It's interesting stuff, but unfortunately as we all know, once CIA is involved, nothing will come to light. That's one agency truly above the law.

Thanks, from 2023.

The fact that Epstein met with the director of the CIA at all looks really bad.

From Grok:

Mike Benz discusses Jeffrey Epstein's early career at Bear Stearns, linking him to CIA and Saudi intelligence operations through the Safari Club network and BCCI bank.

Key points:
- In 1976, Bear Stearns opened a BCCI account to handle petrodollar laundering, the same year Epstein joined.
- Epstein's boss, Ace Greenberg, set up these accounts and brought Epstein into lucrative deals disguising illegal arms sales as oil or commodity trades.
- This explains Epstein's quick rise, access to high-profile clients like Adnan Khashoggi, and connections to CIA, MI6, Saudi, Israeli, and French intelligence.
- Epstein evaded fraud charges because his work involved national security secrets.
- BCCI's collapse in scandals mirrors Epstein's own cons, and Bear Stearns facilitated CIA covert funding for groups like the Mujahideen.

Overall, Benz argues Epstein was a key player in a global intelligence money-laundering scheme, not just a financier or sex trafficker.

Massie cracks me up.

Really. Trump had to have done this on purpose and tipped somebody off. Plausible deniability or implausible deniability? "Let's give them a keycode, then fire some fake employees for incompetency."
