There’s obviously been great excitement about the DoJ’s release of the papers of the late paedophile Jeffrey Epstein and speculation about what it contains and who’s in it. Like Donald Trump and Prince Andrew, for example. It’s been reported that Trump and his cronies have been busy trying to block the release of any material that may possibly relate to him. People have also wondered where Epstein got his money. Maverick physicist Eric Weinstein said in an interview with Joe Rogan a little while ago that when he met Epstein to do some maths for him, Epstein’s behaviour seemed wrong. Epstein at the time was officially a millionaire financial investor. Weinstein showed up at his home to go through the maths on some issue. Epstein was still occupied elsewhere, so he was shown into the lounge and given a cup of coffee. When Epstein finally emerged, he apologised for being late as he was working on some financial business, which Weinstein thought was an odd way of describing it. He also wondered where Epstein was getting his money. Epstein was a millionaire, but his lifestyle and expenditure was that of the mega-rich, who were far above him in wealth. It’s thus been suggested that he had connections to the CIA and Mossad. However, in the interview between front woman Amy Goodman and David Enrich of the New York Times, it’s revealed that Epstein got it from scams and his connections to rich and powerful people, who protected him.
Here’s the blurb for the video.
‘As the Trump administration is expected to release investigative files related to Jeffrey Epstein later this week, a recent New York Times investigation delves into one of the biggest mysteries about the deceased sexual predator: how the college dropout with no financial training rose through the world of finance and amassed his wealth, which enabled his abuse and insulated him from scrutiny for decades. David Enrich, deputy investigations editor at The New York Times and lead author of the report, headlined “Scams, Schemes, Ruthless Cons: The Untold Story of How Jeffrey Epstein Got Rich,” says Epstein’s early success in business was due to a series of lucky breaks, lies and scams that nevertheless convinced sophisticated investors and business titans to give him their money. “What surprised me the most was just how pedestrian some of his scams were,” says Enrich. “He was just grabbing people’s money and running with it.”‘
