@Agenthades1 @davidenrich @jpmorgan @DeutscheBank @emilysteel @MattGoldstein26 @SteveEder 2/ "In a sign that the attorneys are bracing for government scrutiny of Mr. Epstein’s companies, Mr. [Darren] Indyke and Mr. [Jeffrey] Schantz both recently hired criminal defense lawyers." (more...)

@Agenthades1 @davidenrich @jpmorgan @DeutscheBank @emilysteel @MattGoldstein26 @SteveEder 2/ Since Indyke was Epstein's longtime attorney, his name pops up nearly everywhere Epstein's does. I've been studying this article for a couple of days and can't figure out how it ties in, but Indyke's name appears in this Sep 3, 2016 article: (more)

@Agenthades1 @davidenrich @jpmorgan @DeutscheBank @emilysteel @MattGoldstein26 @SteveEder 3/ Donna Ward "sold the house for $4.5 million in May 2008 to a company named Greenway Financial Group LLC. In 2014, that entity sold the house for just under $5 million to the company linked to A. Paul Prosperi. NewYorkCity attorney 👉Darren K Indyke👈 signed the deed... (con't)

@Agenthades1 @davidenrich @jpmorgan @DeutscheBank @emilysteel @MattGoldstein26 @SteveEder 4/ ...recorded May 2 [2016?] as the manager of 124 Parc Monceau LLC. The company, in turn, was formerly managed by attorney Charles D. Barnett of Palm Beach Gardens. Neither attorney returned phone messages." (more...)

@Agenthades1 @davidenrich @jpmorgan @DeutscheBank @emilysteel @MattGoldstein26 @SteveEder 5/ "Prosperi, a former real estate attorney, died Mar 5 [2016] in WPalm Beach. He made headlines in 2001 when President Bill Clinton commuted his 1997 conviction on charges he filed false tax returns and created counterfeit securities."
So Indyke got involved after Prosperi died.

@Agenthades1 @davidenrich @jpmorgan @DeutscheBank @emilysteel @MattGoldstein26 @SteveEder 6/ Here's the link to Maison de L’Amitie:
"Broker 👉Lawrence Moens👈 of Lawrence A Moens Associates acted on [buyer] Ward’s behalf in the sale opposite listing agent Kerry Levenson Warwick of 👉Douglas Elliman👈. (more...)

@Agenthades1 @davidenrich @jpmorgan @DeutscheBank @emilysteel @MattGoldstein26 @SteveEder 7/ Maison de L’Amitie is the Palm Beach🌴 property that DJT bought at auction for $41.35 million in 2004, outbidding Jeffrey Epstein. DJT sold the property to Dmitry Rybolovlev🇷🇺 in 2008 for $95 million." (more...)

@Agenthades1 @davidenrich @jpmorgan @DeutscheBank @emilysteel @MattGoldstein26 @SteveEder 8/ Previous recent history of this property: "Owner Jayne Wrightsman sold the house on May 1, 1985, for $10 million to 👉Les Wexner👈. Three years later, on May 27, 1988, it was sold to Massachusetts nursing home magnate Abraham 'Abe' D. Gosman for $12,089,500. (con't)

@Agenthades1 @davidenrich @jpmorgan @DeutscheBank @emilysteel @MattGoldstein26 @SteveEder 9/ ...Gosman built the Maison de L'Amitie mansion on the property. On July 30, 1999, the house was put in the name of his wife, Linda C. Gosman. After Abe Gosman filed for Chapter 7 bankruptcy...in 2003, the property went up for auction in 2004." More Wexner/Gosman downthread...

@Agenthades1 @davidenrich @jpmorgan @DeutscheBank @emilysteel @MattGoldstein26 @SteveEder 10/ "Besides the bizarreness of a record-breaking sale during a mostly cruel year for real estate, there’s the astounding fact that the listing broker, 👉Lawrence Moens👈—MrTrump calls him Larry—had only been showing the property since March."

@Agenthades1 @davidenrich @jpmorgan @DeutscheBank @emilysteel @MattGoldstein26 @SteveEder 11/ "During a Christmastime🎄 dinner at Mr. Trump’s Mar-a-Lago Club in Palm Beach🌴, mega-broker Dolly Lenz, who reportedly did $748,319,000 in deals in 2006, four times higher than the second-biggest agent’s, was sitting at a table with her daughter. (con't)

@Agenthades1 @davidenrich @jpmorgan @DeutscheBank @emilysteel @MattGoldstein26 @SteveEder 12/ ...Mr. Trump came over to the broker, who had been listing the $125 million estate [Maison de L’Amitie], featuring an 18-year-old, 33,000-square-foot French Regency-style mansion. 'And I remember him saying,' Ms. Lenz said this week, 'Do you know who Cris Condon is?’ (con't)

@Agenthades1 @davidenrich @jpmorgan @DeutscheBank @emilysteel @MattGoldstein26 @SteveEder 13/ ...And I said, ‘No.’ And he told me who she was, and he said, ‘I think I’m going to give her a try.’ Like that, the listing went from the near-omnipotent Ms. Lenz to Cristina Condon."
So DJT has THREE brokers for Maison de L’Amitie in 3-month span. Makes perfect sense, right?

@Agenthades1 @davidenrich @jpmorgan @DeutscheBank @emilysteel @MattGoldstein26 @SteveEder 14/ "Ms. Lenz said she had brought Mr. Trump a $90 million offer from an 👉American socialite type*⃣. He rejected it, even though he himself had paid $41.35 million." (more...)
*⃣100% speculation, but could it have been...Ghislaine?

@Agenthades1 @davidenrich @jpmorgan @DeutscheBank @emilysteel @MattGoldstein26 @SteveEder 15/ "She had gone after 👉Eastern oligarch buyers👈, too. 'If you didn’t target the Russian🇷🇺 billionaires then you shouldn’t be in business. That’s the obvious group.'”🤔
So, who was behind the 3-brokers-in-3-months-for-sale-to-Rybolovev just before the 2008 financial meltdown?

@Agenthades1 @davidenrich @jpmorgan @DeutscheBank @emilysteel @MattGoldstein26 @SteveEder 16/ "After Ms. Lenz and Ms. Condon came Mr. Moens. 'Look, I mean, everything in life is timing,' said Ms. Lenz’s boss, Elliman co-owner 👉Howard Lorber👈. Incidentally, he recommended Ms. Lenz and later Mr. Moens after Mr. Trump had asked him to handle the listing." (more...)

@Agenthades1 @davidenrich @jpmorgan @DeutscheBank @emilysteel @MattGoldstein26 @SteveEder 17/ Previous screenshot was taken at 40 minute mark of this video⤵️ by @NarativLive @traciemac_Bmore @ZevShalev. I'm not clear as to how Lorber was involved for $125million, though.☹️ Hopefully we'll find out in episode 4, scheduled to air tomorrow. (more)

@Agenthades1 @davidenrich @jpmorgan @DeutscheBank @emilysteel @MattGoldstein26 @SteveEder @NarativLive @traciemac_Bmore @ZevShalev 20/ ...A pile of rubbish☹️ is all that remains of the venerable Wrightsman estate, built 54 years ago [1931] by Maurice Fatio, a successor of Addison Mizner, the architect who designed much of Palm Beach and Boca Raton.

@Agenthades1 @davidenrich @jpmorgan @DeutscheBank @emilysteel @MattGoldstein26 @SteveEder @NarativLive @traciemac_Bmore @ZevShalev 21/ ...Palm Beach🌴 architect 👉John B. Gosman👈, who has submitted preliminary plans for the new house, said it "will have sort of a lower profile than the existing one, mainly because of the height." (more...)

@Agenthades1 @davidenrich @jpmorgan @DeutscheBank @emilysteel @MattGoldstein26 @SteveEder @NarativLive @traciemac_Bmore @ZevShalev 22/ Both John B. and Abe Gosman are deceased, but judging by their birthdates, it's possible they are related -- perhaps brothers or cousins:
John B. Gosman DOB: 10/14/1928 - 1/30/1999
