He didn't make any of his money on Wall Street (at least not in the legal sense). You've clearly done 0 reading on the case if you think any of his money was legitimate. The man was a front for a child prostitution and blackmail ring with ties to the US and Israeli intelligence communities. He was intimately connected to the highest levels of Western government, higher education, and finance. There are literally hundreds of investigative podcasts that go into depth with all the evidence surrounding his background, Ghislaine Maxwell's, their deeds, and how it was all ignored for decades.
So no specific podcast recommendation?
Shaun Attwood on YouTube has put out some great pieces and interviews, he broadly covers the crime and conspiracy space but if you'll do some digging there are real gems in there as he's followed both Epstein's history and Ghislaine Maxwell very closely. This podcast by Eric Weinstein is one of my top listens given he's well connected in the financial world (works for Peter Thiel) and has stated on multiple occasions he could not find a single counterparty or prime broker that had ever worked with Epstein's "hedge fund".
Despite how much Epstein's been covered at this point, there is still no definitive, comprehensive account of everything he did. There are a million different threads you can tug on. The guy was like an evil version of Forrest Gump; he was involved in everything and connected to everyone.
In the late 80s and early 90s, Epstein played a central role in the Tower Financial Corporation fraud, which was the largest Ponzi scheme in US history until Madoff. His partner Steven Hoffenberg did 18 years in prison for it. Epstein magically glided away with no punishment.
Epstein also played a significant role in the 2008 Financial Crisis. Yes, really. He was a major investor in a Bear Stearns CDO hedge fund that was at the center of Bear Stearns' collapse. See this 2007 NYT article on it. As insane as it sounds, Epstein may have personally triggered the collapse of the CDO market by pulling his money from the fund. From Wikipedia:
If a full account of Epstein's life is ever written (which may never happen, since too many important people would be harmed), it will probably turn out to be one of the most important stories of the past 50 years.
Damn, didn't even know that. He'll probably go down as one of, if not the most influential non-government figure in modern US history
And you may go down as one of the most influential nuclear power plant owners ever…. :)
Had never read about this CDO component. The threads only go deeper and deeper...
