Some comments re Jeffrey Epstein's Gratitude America 2019 990, available on the IRS Charity Search site. As I first noted in April 2019, the only contribution was $10M made by Leon Black via an anon LLC in 2015...
...At Dec 31 2019, Gratitude America's assets were comprised of $8.2M in cash. Trading was halted & all investments were sold off by July 22 after Epstein was arrested on July 6 2019....
...I'm sure it's a coincidence but Gratitude America's largest & most profitable trade in 2019 was the sale of 1000 shares of Microsoft...
...In 2019, Jeffrey Epstein was listed as a director of Gratitude America for the first time since 2014. This gets back to my suspicion he was the unnamed investment consultant paid a total of $529k in 2016 & 2017....
...The Gratitude America 2019 990 was signed by Richard Kahn, President & prepared by David Hasson of Seckendorf Hasson Reilly & Kobay, a CPA & wealth management firm in Lake Success on Long Island....
...In 2019, Gratitude America made three donations, the largest being $150k to International Peace Institute, followed by $50k to the Hasty Pudding Club. A prior donation of $100k was refunded....

...Leon Black's $10M donation to Gratitude America was similar to the $21M Leslie Wexner made to Epstein's COUQ Foundation in the early '00s in that it allowed Epstein to appear to be a generous philanthropist. In the past, I speculated whether it was income to Epstein...
...I assume Richard Kahn & Darryl Indyke have the authority to disburse the $8M Gratitude America had in the bank at Dec 31 2019. How they do so will be interesting. The end.
