#2 /\ Mr. Epstein was a JPMorgan client from 1998 to 2013 when the bank fired him.

#3 Curious history of Ghislaine Maxwell's father and his near national-hero treatment by Israel after death. The linkage to Epstein and the source of his mysterious wealth, like the vast, yet missing, client cinematic performances, have a curious, similar feel to them. Almost like the murky world of the Wilderness of Mirrors?

From Guardian Article in 2019 -"Throughout his life, he was a good friend to Israel, investing heavily in publishing, pharmaceutical and computer firms in the country. He met accusations he was an Israeli spy with furious denials and legal threats. Such speculation was fanned again after his death, when he was accorded almost a state funeral in Israel, attended by the prime minister, Yitzhak Shamir, and the president, Chaim Herzog, and buried in Jerusalem on the Mount of Olives. Conspiracy theorists have claimed that Mossad killed him because Israel refused him a loan and he threatened to retaliate."

#4 An exposed one, note the date 2013:

The disgraced financier was registered as a sex offender in Florida in 2008 and in 2011 as a "level three" sex offender in New York—a lifelong designation

#6 More Than $1 Billion for Jeffrey Epstein

I don't care who your clients are - you can't make a billion $ pimping.

#7 I'd still put 20 bucks on red that Epstein is alive and well and living in Israel.

#8 Ref # 6, agreed, but I suspect you can make it if you sell the images of the elites/politicians/foreign leaders enjoying your product to intelligence agencies, both domestic and allied for use in coercion.

#9 #8 I doubt that intelligence agencies get involved with amateurs - they've plenty of talent at their beck and call. And I'm sure that important people are well protected from casual predation. In fact, the entire Epstein story makes no sense - in books & movies the blackmailer always makes sure to arrange for the blackmail material to become public is something happens to him/her.

#11 Can anyone identify an example where the dead man switch insurance actually was triggered?

#12 It makes more sense that he was playing Mr Rorque, just a front man, and never had possession of the cameras or tape himself.

#13 Interesting that the bank flags numerous and high dollar transactions but no account shut down. Now contrast that with gun store owners, federal firearm dealers and Christian right to life checking accounts.
