How did Jeffrey Epstein fund his sex trafficking empire. One Senator, Ron Wyden (D-OR), and his staff have been researching Epstein’s money trail. It hasn’t been easy. Banks are supposed to file suspicious money transfers, and transfers of large amounts of cash within 60 days of the transactions. That didn’t happen in the case of Jeffrey Epstein.

The senator’s team, along with several Republican committee staffers, were allowed last year by Treasury officials to review thousands of pages of secret filings by four banks – JPMorgan, Deutsche Bank, Bank of New York Mellon and Bank of America – on Epstein’s transactions, but they were not permitted to make copies.

High-dollar transfers to individuals, foreign countries or obscure companies are typically flagged by banks as potentially suspicious, and Wyden’s staff have reviewed filings on thousands of wire transfers involving artwork sales, fees paid to Epstein by wealthy associates and payments to numerous women, and some of those transfers involved accounts at two Russian banks for as much as $100 million.

The House Committee on Oversight and Government Reform released 30,000 pages of documents from the Epstein investigation. There isn’t much new information in them is the spin. That should tie over the masses while they figure out a way to not release the files.

Another possibility; sink US President for Life hopeful Donald Trump and let the files die with his presidency. That way they won’t have to reveal the other important politicians, businessmen and vips in the files.
