Can someone explain this to me and pretend that it was legitimate? I understand he was in investment management, but even then, that is still f*ck you money that only the very 1% of 1% in that profession have.

He started his career as a failed college dropout and an elite private school teacher. It’s only natural for him to have access to billions. Makes total sense.

There are a lot of islands in the Carribbean. I probably can't afford one but I bet there are a ton of apartments in NYC that cost more than his island.

He was a go between for huge money to find loopholes and tax havens. He was rewarded handsomely for his efforts and his knowledge. This bought him a lot of friends in high places to allow his sordid nature to thrive.

He had access to tons of money he was managing. He also had POA over the Victoria Secret founder’s fortune.

There is a website that lists private islands for sale. All of them under $100,000,000. Anybody in the billionaire range could afford it.

Epstein got his first big break running weapons via an Israeli shell company to Iran during the Iran-Contra affair. Once he was in he "freelanced" with our CIA, Mossad, Saudis and MI6 to help their black operations.

Any time I've been there we'll go out on a boat and the captain will start naming celebs who own which islands.

These aren't multi billionaires, they're relatively successful artists and business owners in the $50M+ net worth range.

There's a lot of small islands in the Caribbean.

1) He tutored the son of the CEO of Bear Stearns
2) He conned his way into a trading job
3) He was made partner at the firm within 4 years
5) By 1998 he had made so much money, that JPMorgan Chase lent him a boatload of cash
6) In 1998, Epstein bought an island
7) The island was listed for $10.5 million, but Epstein bought it for $7.95 million,

It aint as a big of a deal as you are trying to imply. We're certainly not talking Israeli asset type money. Especially when youre already a partner at Bear Stearns

College kid. Ends up working at a investment firm, after a few years gets 70 million for job well done. There is the drop as I vaguely remember. New York pad was gifted I think. First party palace that I bet worked so good he/they bought a island.
