One more thing about that passport the feds found in a safe in Epstein’s apartment with his photo but a different name and his country of residence listed as Saudi Arabia:
In the 1980s, Jeffrey Epstein used to tell people he was a kind of financial bounty hunter whose job it was to “find” lost or stolen money for the government or for very rich people.
A former Epstein friend reported in @Salon last week that Epstein claimed “he worked for governments to recover money looted by African dictators. Other times those dictators hired him to help them hide their stolen money.” salon.com/2019/07/09/i-w…
I can tell you that, according to one of my sources, one of the rich people for whom Jeffrey Epstein chased down money was Adnan Khashoggi, a powerful Saudi businessman.
Adnan Khashoggi (uncle of Jamal) was a Saudi arms dealer who was involved with both Iran-contra and Ferdinand and Imelda Marcos. See his obit for some background: nytimes.com/2017/06/06/wor…
Khashoggi, now deceased, was very powerful in Saudi Arabia and may well have been in a position to have helped Epstein procure documentation in that country… There is more on that yet to come.
