@kelly2277 Brief <thread>:
1/ It's apparently been established that Epstein was an Israeli🇮🇱 agent. James Patterson's Filthy Rich, 2016, p. 112:
"Why was Epstein not implicated in the case? All that Hoffenberg will say when asked is: 'Ask Robert Gold.'" (more...)

@kelly2277 2/ Filthy Rich, p. 101:
"On Jun 15, 1982, a venerable stock-and-bond-trading firm, the Drysdale Securities Corporation, announced that it was going out of business."
p. 103
"Andrew Levander was an assistant US attorney in the Southern District of New York's... (con't)

@kelly2277 3/ ...Securities & Commodities Fraud Task Force. He was assigned to look into Drysdale's collapse. The case he was building would result in fraud convictions for a number of Drysdale executives..." "A lawyer named Robert Gold, who was a former federal prosecutor himself (con't)

@kelly2277 4/ ..., was assisting. And now Epstein would join them in the hunt for monies."
"Ana Obregón [daughter of a well-connected Spainard🇪🇸] gave Epstein power of attorney over any monies that he [Epstein] recovered. And though it took him two years, working with Robert Gold... (con't)

@kelly2277 5/ ...and the US attorney's office, Epstein finally did make his way to the center of DGS's maze and recover Obregón's money."
So it seems likely that Epstein got the lion's share of Hoffenberg's ponzi scheme, and by the mid-1990s, was a very rich monster who got off scot-free.
