"THE TALENTED MR. EPSTEIN"

"Epstein is known about town as a man who loves women—lots of them, mostly young." vanityfair.com/news/2003/03/j…
"Some of the businessmen who dine with [Epstein] at his home...sometimes seem not all that clear as to what he actually does to earn his millions."

Louis Ranieri
Ronald Perelman
Leon Black

"Unlike such fund managers as George Soros and Stanley Druckenmiller, whose client lists and stock maneuverings act as their calling cards, Epstein keeps all his deals and clients secret, bar one client: billionaire Leslie Wexner, the respected chairman of Limited Brands." $LB Image
March 2003

"Epstein’s high-flying style has been drawing oohs & aahs: the bachelor financier lives in NY’s largest private residence, claims to take only billionaires as clients, & flies celebrities including Bill Clinton & Kevin Spacey on his Boeing 727"
web.archive.org/web/2015021714…Image
"There are many women in his life, mostly young, but there is no one of them to whom he has been able to commit."
"...you won’t find Epstein’s transactions written about on Bloomberg or talked about in the trading rooms. “The trading desks don’t seem to know him. It’s unusual for animals that big not to leave any footprints in the snow,” says a high-level investment manager."
"A few of the handful of current friends who have known him since the early 1980s recall that he used to tell them he was a “bounty hunter,” recovering lost or stolen money for the government or for very rich people."
"Harvard law professor Alan Dershowitz says, “I’m on my 20th book…. The only person outside of my immediate family that I send drafts to is Jeffrey.”" - March 2003 Image

Epstein "does not deny that he and Wexner have a special relationship. Epstein sees it as a partnership of equals.

“People have said it’s like we have one brain between two of us: each has a side.”" $LB
“Some of the guests were horrified," and I bet did absolutely nothing. Image
So this is interesting.

Remember, Epstein got his start at the Dalton School under current Attorney General William Barr's dad, Donald. Turns out Epstein knew at least one other US Attorney General...John Mitchell 1969-1972. #GIK Image
You know, a good investigative journalist could make a career just off of certain aspects of the Epstein story, much less the whole sordid network. $BSC Image
Anyway, you can read the article for more details on the Bear Stearns saga, but so many names pop up that there are giant rat-holes behind. e.g., web.archive.org/web/2015021714…Image

Hey @CNBCTheExchange #RapidFire - now might be a good time to talk about Jeffrey Epstein's very close relationship for many years with $LB CEO Les Wexner. Image
@CNBCTheExchange Here's the police report on the murder of Columbus lawyer Arthur L. Shapiro back in 1985, which Whitney Webb and (the too few) others investigating the Epstein conspiracy have mentioned. Les Wexner is mentioned.

Typical MSM reporting: "Wexner, the respected chairman..."

Respected by who?
"There has been much talk about the names that could be contained in these soon-to-be unsealed documents, but a look through the lengthy court proceedings reveals that Roberts had already identified a number of the individuals." #EPSTEIN

Why isn't the headline here "The Monster and the Monster"?

@gabrielsherman "By 1986, Wexner ranked sixth on the Forbes 400 list of richest Americans, with a net worth estimated at $1.4 billion."

"Shapiro’s demise is merely one of a series of connected deaths that all seem to lead back to one man – Epstein’s top enabler, Leslie Wexner." $LB unlimitedhangout.com/2021/08/invest…
Anyone who hung out with Ghislaine and Jeff for any amount of time had to know what they were into.

Maybe they didn't personally participate, but they knew, and by doing nothing, they were participating.

I shouted out
Who killed the Kennedys?
Think about this for a second - in this 2003 Vanity Fair article, we see that Jeffrey Epstein knew both former U.S. Attorney General John Mitchell & former Senate Majority Leader George Mitchell, among others.

This is the biggest conspiracy since 1963.

"There's no strategy or sense to what we do...we default to 'let's call in airstrikes on somebody.'

That's a tool.

What's your plan? What is your strategy? What are your principles? How did we get here?

We're in chaos, we're adrift."

Our policy is open borders. They're not failing to secure the border. It's not like they're trying and failing. The policy is "let everybody in."...Not just let 'em in, BRING 'em in."

Naked Capitalism is a left of center site.

I normally don't watch Carlson, but our government's massive attack on free speech this century via the "Censorship Industrial Complex" is an existential issue.

A perfect issue for common ground, left & right.

Like most of you, I have the House Financial Services subcommittee hearing on climate-related financial risks and monetary policy on in the background right now.

There's something called the "Network for Greening the Financial System." Not sure what they do but pretty sure the main goal will be you will own nothing.
Brad Sherman making sense at this moment. What is going on?

This is disgraceful.

"Sequoia Capital, the world’s most prominent venture-capital firm, got covered the $1 billion it had with the lender. Kanzhun, a Beijing-based tech company... received a backstop for more than $900 million."

@SecYellen @FDICgov Wow. Hat tip to John Titus for pointing out this dataset.

Incredible.

Post-Q3 2019, after the Fed restarted QE, the Share of Checkable Deposits & Currency Held by the TOP 0.1% jumped from 5% to 13.9%, while the 50th-90th % share fell from 36.2% to 26.6%!

This is a great question:

"Why aren’t we hearing about interest rate derivatives blowing up and taking down either a U.S. mega bank or its counterparty on the wrong side of the trade?"

"Adding to our curiosity as to how everybody landed on the correct side of the interest rate derivative trades during the fastest rate hikes in 40 years, is a chart in the most recent OCC derivatives report for the first quarter of this year...How is this possible?" Image
"Banks that have rigged everything from foreign exchange to Libor interest rates, to precious metals, to U.S. treasury securities have the full confidence of the OCC to accurately report their derivative exposures." Image
