Alright, let's take it from the top:
Early Career
Epstein began his career as a math and physics teacher in
Dalton School, a prestigious New York high school. There are already red flags here, considering that Jeffrey Epstein was a college drop-out. He was hired by headmaster
Donald Barr, the father of AG
William Barr. You can read more about what his students said about him here:
Yahoo Finance |
HuffPost
That's not even the best part of Ol' Jeff's tenure in Dalton though. There he met
Ace Greenberg's (former chairman of Bear Stearns) children - Ted and Lynne. This is when Jeff got his big break in the world of finance: according to Lynne, Ace was impressed when he met Epstein in a PTA meeting:
Miami Herald.
There were more sexual abuse cases that came out of Dalton HS, but I'm being a bit of a lazy nigger right now and I'll let you dig into it yourselves, here's one article from the NY Post .
It's described as a "Daddy buy me a pony, daddy hire Epstein at your investment bank" sort of deal, but I would advise you guys to take this story with a grain of salt.
Bear Stearns
He leaves Dalton in '76 to join Bear where he rises up to the rank of limited partner. Let that sink in for a second - he was a college drop-out in '73, he starts teaching math and physics at a prestigious private school in New York, and by '81 he's a limited partner in Bear Stearns - a big dick global investment bank.
According to people who worked with him, he was a big-brained nibba when it came to trading and evading taxes:
Fox Business
I find it difficult to believe that said executives are trustworthy witnesses.
The Bloombergs of the world aren't exactly sure where he got his money from. More from Bloomberg on Epstein's finances:
link (this article is actually more interesting and in-depth).
My take is that they're lying about how great Jeff was at doing finance because they have a vested interest in making him seem like he could've made all his money from wealth management. Until this day we can't say with any certainty how much money did this guy have and where exactly he got it from. I don't think that the Bear guys were necessarily involved with his pedo ring, but they had other dealings with Epstein decades later where it would be beneficial to make it seem as if he was well-versed in the financial world.
He was also implicated in an insider-trading scandal in Bear Stearns. I STRONGLY recommend going through Vicky Ward(bae)'s
2003 article in Vanity Fair for more details. As a side note - this is the very same article that
the Chief Editor of Vanity Fair ordered to exclude the part about Jeff's kiddie diddling .
Basically, Jeff gave a loan out that was used for insider-trading and nothing happened to him.
His relationship with the company doesn't end when he left "at Bear's invitation" (whatever the fuck that's supposed to mean - let's just say there are conflicting accounts surrounding his leaving the company), but we'll come back to that circa 2008.
The Hoffenberg era: You've got a friend in me
After Jeff went all "You can't fire me - I quit" (or something like that) on Bear Stearns, he went into business of his own and started working very closely with Steve Hoffenberg - he was a financial adviser of Hoffenberg's company Towers Financial at one point.
Epstein met
Steven Hoffenberg in the 80's in London and they quickly became close pals. There's a whole lot of dodgy shit those two got up to but they key point is that Hoffenberg went to jail for running a ponzi scheme that Jeff was apart of. Yet again, Jeffrey does some very illegal shit and gets away scot-free. This is a pattern throughout this guy's life. It's not just the sweetheart deal he got from Acosta, he's been evading justice for a long time.
Yesterday there was an
article published in the Washington Post where Steve here claims that Jeff was the mastermind of the whole thing.
And I know what you guys are thinking - Hoffenberg is shifting the entire blame on the dead Epstein so he can wash his hands from the whole thing and not pay back any of the people he scammed. I pretty much agree with that sentiment, but there's no denying that Jeff played a key role and was left unscathed for unknown reasons while his partner in crime served 18 years in federal "pound me in the ass" prison.
The takeaway is as follows:
This was the biggest Ponzi Scheme in US history up until that point, by the way. We're not talking about peanuts here.
To be continued.
I'm getting pretty bored over here and there's literally six million things this guy's been involved with over the years and I haven't even gotten to the sex trafficking or the pre-collapse Bear Stearns stuff yet. Point being - we don't know at which point this guy became the asset of X intelligent agency, what we do know is that he's been getting away with it longer than Sam Hyde.
