They have really latched onto this story and Epstein’s Clinton ties. This is gonna be a disaster for a few months.
i mean the former thread explanation is seemingly what most of the finance world who has been asking how he got his money for thirty years thinks is the simplest answer. i dont think its unreasonable to think he basically blackmailed his way into having a giant basically slush fund based on what we know about him and how he operated not to mention his work history and unique nature of the fund he runs. its when people start weaving in the CIA and global new world order shit is where you lose me
It’s gotta be a combination of true pedos + blackmail. If it was blackmail from the start, he’d have been dead a decade or two ago.
Yeah, the Wolff story that Alex Yablon is talking about and Ward's story are two different stories. In the article, she talks about the 2002 profile she did for Vanity Fair:
Well, also a big part of saying you have your money in a certain hedge fund is that even other rich people aren’t invited. So it could just be dumb rich guys buying something exclusive to show off and not an elaborate scheme to blackmail the most powerful people on earth. But I’m sure many financial crimes were committed too.
I agree it’s entirely plausible. I was more referring to how the right has already spotlighted bill clinton as if this is part of the larger vast clintonian conspiracy.
I don't understand how people on the right are like BUT BILL CLINTON as if it's some sort of gotcha for people on the left. People on the left be like yeah we know and then in addition to that there's... BUT BILL CLINTON BILL CLINTON BILL CLINTON Yeah, got it. BILL CLINTON Are you just going to keep saying Bill Clin... bil clinton Ok I guess we are done here.
This caught my eye in a Bloomberg article earlier today. He joined Bear Stearns in 1976 as a lowly junior assistant to a floor trader. In a swift rise, trading options, he made partner four years later, with former Chief Executive Officer Jimmy Cayne praising his skills. Junior assistant to partner in 4 years?
Epstein rose to the top via insider trading and then was subsequently forced out of the firm for it. Multiple people were convicted and went to jail but they couldn't nail him
He's also a likely Ponzi schemer from way back but that is just an accusation made by his partner in said Ponzi scheme
Another thread touched on it but it’s likely the billionaire thing was just a cover for him to tell non pedos to scram and avoid their scrutiny.
When Jeffrey Epstein Joked About Sex Abuse One of the many gutting elements of the allegations against the billionaire financier: how gleefully he flaunted his impunity. Megan Garber 8:26 AM ET In a courtroom artist's sketch, the defendant Jeffrey Epstein, center, sits with his attorneys during his arraignment in New York federal court on Monday, July 8.Elizabeth Williams / via AP “I’m not a sexual predator, I’m an ‘offender’ … It’s the difference between a murderer and a person who steals a bagel.” That was the billionaire Jeffrey Epstein, in 2011, speaking—bragging, really—to the New York Post, about the deal that his lawyers had struck a few years earlier on his behalf. In 2007, the FBI had prepared a 53-page indictment of Epstein, a document alleging that the financier, from his mansion in Palm Beach, Florida, had been conducting a kind of sexual pyramid scheme (as one detective termed it) in which he molested and abused young women and girls—some as young as 14—and paid them to recruit others. The allegations involved at least 40 underage girls; they were severe enough that they could have sent Epstein to prison for life.
As I've pointed a few times over the last year or so, the funny thing about the jail where Epstein was held for 13 months is its particular location. See the golf course below? That's the green to the par 5, no. 3 hole at Trump International. The jail is a high-rise that overlooks holes 3, 4, and 5. You can often hear the inmates hooting and hollering. At the very top is a lone basketball hoop that I never saw anyone use. And to the right of the tee box on hole no. 2 is JFK's bunker. It's down a little hill and you can't see it from the tee as it's also covered by trees. Heard it was used as a storage shed for maintenance, but I never saw any of the grounds crew ever drive to or leave the shed.
Has DJT really not scrubbed his entire Twitter feed pre-2016? I shouldn’t be surprised, but Jesus fucking Christ.
You really haven’t been paying attention then. For every quote saying he’s doing something, there’s an old quote criticizing Obama for doing the same thing. It’s pretty incredible
It’s incredible It really is like you put all of boomer social media into a blender and poured it into one twitter feed
