Epstein was involved in shadow banking, suspect currency trading, and was arguably really a financial terrorist. Sex trafficking and sex blackmail was really like a sthing for Epstein. The police investigation document says that it was organized crime in Leslie Wetner that did it and that Leslie Wexner is linked to organized crime. That report was destroyed. The murder is listed as unsolved and the murder happened the day before the lawyer was going to testify to the IRS about unspecified tax havens. And then Epstein sweeps in and starts untangling Wexner's complicated [music] finances.
I would argue there has been an effort from the day he was arrested in 2019 to frame the Spectrum of Epstein discussion specifically about the sex trafficking and the abuse. And Epste's career was much larger than that. I have argued consistently that more than anything else, Epste was involved in shadow banking, suspect currency trading, and was arguably really a financial terrorist. Okay? Just as much as he was a sex trafficker.
So I would argue that a lot of the connections mainly in like like for example in his black book of contact contacts that we is publicly available for example um a lot of those I would argue are based around a lot of these financial connections some of them are not so if you look at the black book uh the Epstein's butler went around and circled names of people who were involved explicitly according to him in the sex trafficking stuff and a lot of those most of the names are not circled right so when I say Epstein connected you know I hope that people understand or have taken the time to either read my work or watch my interviews on Epstein because I've explicitly said that um you know not everyone associated with Epste is a pedophile and people have tried to do that and make Epstein pedophile only right and obviously he was that but he was a lot more than that and he was and I think you know the fact that there's been so little interest for example in his documented role in the collapse of Bear Sterns in 2008 his role in money laundering and connection with banks like BCCI which were also sex trafficking prepubescent kids for elites of the the the the Emirates in the 1980s and stuff. There's been no interest in looking into that kind of stuff. No interest in looking at his ties with big tech, for example, his efforts to rebrand as a big tech and also fintech investor. And in the case of Brock Pearson, Epstein, this happened after his first arrest uh the meeting and uh Pierce has said that all of his conversations with Epste were related directly to cryptocurrency. So EP someone like Epstein and with the financial history of Epstein, his interest arguably in cryptocurrency is to continue to engage in the same criminal and bad financial behavior that he had done for the decades prior. So whatever he was talking to Pierce about from Epstein, Epstein's motives would have been to find ways to use cryptocurrency or help develop and guide the cryptocurrency industry in ways that would help enable the activity that he had consistently engaged for decades and decades and decades. Was Pierce willingly enabling that? I don't know. But I think, you know, it's it's worth asking those questions because in the past, like in the case of Den, he's kept questionable company. Was he an abuse victim and and in that gray area? It's quite possible. You know, I've argued in the case of Galileain Maxwell that she sort of could potentially have fallen in that category as well because I think there is some evidence that she was um abused by her father, Robert Maxwell, in that way. and then sort of he died and she's sort of instead of him being her handler I guess you could say she's sent to Epstein who you know is alleged to have worked with Robert Maxwell and intelligence related financial stuff in the 1980s and then she you know basically becomes the person helping him arrange his stuff and basically serving a lot of the same purposes that she helped her father do you know but instead it's with Epstein >> I can't put numbers or percentages on it but I don't know if it's a majority or a large part but I think now the strong narrative around Epstein is not financial terrorist It it is pedophile >> that was explicitly done on purpose. >> Yeah. And and fine but but what I mean is it's like it's it's good to clear get that narrative clear because if people are I think if they hear Epstein connected they think oh have you been are you in the flight logs? Did you travel to the island? Did you have business dealings with him post first arrest in 2019? >> But not everyone on the plane is necessarily a pedo either, you know. Uh but I think, you know, going on a plane with him and being around him and being affiliated with him suggests that you're involved in some of the stuff he was doing and it was not exclusively sex trafficking.
If anything, I would argue that sex trafficking and sex blackmail was really like a side thing for Epstein and that his real job is was currency manipulation. And that's why you have like letters to heads of state being like, I want to talk to you about Jeffrey Epstein and currency stabilization when that exact administration was developing a plan to stabilize Mexico's currency. And someone tied up in the cabal of currency traders that Epstein was in according to like the New York Times and stuff was the person who shorted the peso and made millions of dollars. And you know, someone like Steve Bannon too was also involved around the same time that that Pierce was associating with Epstein. Uh very involved in trying to rehabilitate Epstein's image as he was moving to reinvent himself as like a science and tech investor. So like why were these why why are these people making these decisions? I mean they obviously didn't care because even at that point in time after his first arrest, Epstein described himself as being socially radioactive. So these are people that are just like no that's fine and like we we see something useful in you and we want to help you make that rebrand. Why? I would argue it has to do with the role that Epstein played in finances. And that is also the reason, you know, why Leslie Wexner chose him to basically run and manage all of his money. Because right before Epstein came into the Wexner circle, Wexner's tax lawyer was shot in the face in broad daylight. The police investigation document says that it was organized crime in Leslie Wexner that did it and that Leslie Wexner is linked to organized crime. That report was destroyed. The murder is listed as unsolved. and right at and uh it was the murder happened the day before the lawyer was going to testify to the IRS about unspecified tax havens and then Epstein sweeps in and starts untangling Wexner's complicated finances at the Limited. And then you have the limited at that time having a figure on the board named Alan Tesler who was involved with aspects of the promise software scandal which is where uh Israeli intelligence and the CIA essentially put a back door into like every security agency and Robert Maxwell was intimately involved with that. But Alan Tesler the architect of that one of them was a man named Earl Bryan and Alan Tesler was a lawyer for Earl Bryan and also on the board of the limited and involved with all you know really this whole network at the same time. I mean, a lot of very weird stuff is happening in this crowd, but if you look at what they were doing, which, you know, I I do in detail in my book, it's a mix of financial crime and trying to dominate tech. And that's why you have like the Maxwell sisters after Robert Maxwell died, the twins, uh, create the first search engine and things like that. And Isabelle Maxwell goes on to be a major player in in in Israel's uh, high-tech system. Christine Maxwell teams up with a a CIA top guy for um I forget like the CIO of the CIA to develop a company called Kilad that was basically being used after 9/11 to uh analyze all of this anti- like war on terror data and all of this stuff. I mean, it's it's just very well it's important to understand that there was a explicit effort to limit the discussion about Epstein to make it just about the sex crime so you don't look at anything else.
Well, it was suspected because Bear Sterns uh had the Bronman's as a tax client and Epstein left Bear Sterns because of uh allegedly because he was um going to be he the SEC was investigating an insider trading scandal involving the Bronman's owned company serums. the SEC was tipped off that Epstein had information about that and they went to question him at Airstns and then he was let go and there's a lot of you know he gave different reasons as to why he was let go and so did uh the bank but there's um you know a significant body of reporting supporting that it was related to that insider trading scandal which also involved people from Drexel Burnham Lambert and the junk bonds and you see a lot of Drexel people swimming around Epstein afterwards like Leon Black for example who led their mergers and acquisition acquisitions department and were involved in you know all sorts of financial criminality Leon Black's the name that I it seems to be one of the most prominent names that has come out of his black book. And there's suspicions about some significant loan that he gave or amount of money he gave to Epstein to manage. I seem to remember. >> Yeah, I for I forget the exact figure but it's astronomically high. And also Epste was man managing his family foundation and Epstein also uh you know was a trustee on the Wexner Foundation and involved in all sorts of philanthropic efforts. And in that same period of time, you know, he's visiting the White House regularly and he's going on official like Microsoft business trips with Microsoft's chief technology officer. And then later in 2001 tells um you know the the UK's Evening Standard that he made all of his money uh because of ties to Donald Trump, Leslie Wexner, and Bill Gates. And and people act like Bill Gates and Epste didn't meet until 2011 when he was no longer affiliated with Microsoft. You know, I mean, there's been a huge cover up of all of these other connections of Epstein there. You know, I feel like my whole purpose as it relates to Epstein research is to make people aware of that because, you know, I would argue that the reason Epste went to prison and all of that stuff happened is because there was a major factional uh issue uh within this group and there was a part there were particular interests that wanted Epste out and they wanted, you know, to to demonize him and make him look very bad, but they didn't want too enough to come out that it would implicate stuff they were also involved in or had previously been involved in in the past.
Epstein was involved with cryptocurrency discussions with Pierce. He gave an interview where he uh raved about the potential of Bitcoin not as a currency but as a digital asset in 2017. Elizabeth Stark has come out and said that you know Epstein tried to give her money. She said no. Why was Epstein trying to invest in lightning labs and all of this stuff? Like what's going on here? Why was he so close to Joyito at MIT Media Lab and and you know he was involved in involved in launching the digital currency initiative that in that Epstein influenced that at all? We don't know. And there's been really very little media interest in finding out any of the answers to those questions.
