Full Transcript for Mega Edition: Jeffry Epstein And His Side Hustle As A "Banker" (4/9/26)

approval was unusual, given epstein 34 00:02:17.560 --> 00:02:21.400 status as a convicted sex offender. Well not really. When 35 00:02:21.439 --> 00:02:23.879 you pull the layers back and you start looking at 36 00:02:23.919 --> 00:02:27.319 the people who were involved, you had all of the 37 00:02:27.360 --> 00:02:31.879 powerful people that were working with Epstein, the Bryants, the dejongs, 38 00:02:32.360 --> 00:02:35.599 and they were all benefiting from his patronage and then 39 00:02:35.639 --> 00:02:37.439 all of a sudden, he's able to set up the 40 00:02:37.479 --> 00:02:41.159 first bank of its kind within the territory of the 41 00:02:41.280 --> 00:02:44.840 US Virgin Island, and nobody has any other questions for 42 00:02:44.879 --> 00:02:48.039 the territory year. Nobody's going to ask them what their 43 00:02:48.120 --> 00:02:50.639 role was. It was up to JP Morgan to do that. 44 00:02:51.120 --> 00:02:55.520 Where's the legacy media? The bank, called Southern Country International, 45 00:02:55.719 --> 00:02:58.599 renewed its license for each of the next five years, 46 00:02:58.879 --> 00:03:02.879 but it's unclear whether it conducted any business or had 47 00:03:02.879 --> 00:03:06.800 any customers. Epstein, who died while in federal custody last 48 00:03:06.800 --> 00:03:10.479 summer following his arrest on sex trafficking charges, does not 49 00:03:10.560 --> 00:03:13.800 appear to have done any marketing for the bank or 50 00:03:14.159 --> 00:03:17.479 hired much staff. You want to talk about a wash shop, 51 00:03:17.759 --> 00:03:20.879 a place to go and wash money, you're looking at it. 52 00:03:21.240 --> 00:03:23.439 And when you look at Epstein for what he really is, 53 00:03:23.759 --> 00:03:27.560 besides a diddler, besides a molester, he's a money mover. 54 00:03:27.919 --> 00:03:30.439 He's a man who knows how to hide money. He's 55 00:03:30.479 --> 00:03:32.599 a man who knows how to wash money. And he's 56 00:03:32.639 --> 00:03:34.800 a man who knows how to make sure that the 57 00:03:34.840 --> 00:03:38.120 government has no idea where you're parking it, so you 58 00:03:38.120 --> 00:03:40.360 don't have to be a brainiact to figure out what 59 00:03:40.479 --> 00:03:44.319 he needed his own bank for. The bank was created 60 00:03:44.479 --> 00:03:47.840 under a territorial law that lacked many of the oversight 61 00:03:47.879 --> 00:03:52.680 requirements banks are usually subject to, and its regulatory file 62 00:03:53.080 --> 00:03:56.960 is largely empty. A lawyer for Epstein told officials in 63 00:03:57.039 --> 00:04:00.919 the US Virgin Islands in twenty eighteen that the Southern 64 00:04:00.960 --> 00:04:05.240 Country had not commenced operations, and regulators in the territory 65 00:04:05.520 --> 00:04:08.800 said they did not exercise oversight of the bank because 66 00:04:08.840 --> 00:04:12.080 it did not appear to be doing any business. Why 67 00:04:12.080 --> 00:04:13.800 did you guys set it up

in the first place. 68 00:04:14.280 --> 00:04:17.240 The US Virgin Islands still has not answered that question. 69 00:04:17.560 --> 00:04:20.560 But yet they get one hundred and five million dollars. 70 00:04:20.759 --> 00:04:22.800 And I hate to keep beating on that dead horse, 71 00:04:23.439 --> 00:04:26.199 but I think it's very important that we all understand 72 00:04:26.360 --> 00:04:30.199 just how ridiculous that move is. They're legit taking food 73 00:04:30.480 --> 00:04:33.519 off the table of girls who were actually abused by 74 00:04:33.639 --> 00:04:36.639 Jeffrey Epstein, and for what purpose? What are they going 75 00:04:36.680 --> 00:04:39.519 to do help out the next scumbag that comes to 76 00:04:39.560 --> 00:04:43.879 the island and starts throwing money around. And yet, after 77 00:04:43.920 --> 00:04:47.720 Epstein's death, his estate transferred more than twelve million dollars 78 00:04:47.759 --> 00:04:52.240 to Southern Country, According to court documents. On Tuesday, out 79 00:04:52.240 --> 00:04:55.519 of court hearing in the Virgin Islands on motions involving 80 00:04:55.600 --> 00:05:00.800 Epstein's estate, a magistrate Judge Carolyn Herman Purcell question the 81 00:05:00.879 --> 00:05:04.839 estate's lawyers about the transfers to Southern Country, saying the 82 00:05:04.879 --> 00:05:08.839 disclosure was not satisfactory. The judge said she did not 83 00:05:09.040 --> 00:05:12.519 know why Southern Country would be receiving checks from the estate. 84 00:05:12.879 --> 00:05:16.319 There's no explanation for that, she said, of course there is. 85 00:05:16.800 --> 00:05:20.759 You know what it was, money washing. We'll send it here, 86 00:05:20.879 --> 00:05:24.199 then we'll bounce it there, then it'll go everywhere. And 87 00:05:24.279 --> 00:05:27.399 even though the government might know what happened, they're not 88 00:05:27.439 --> 00:05:29.680 going to be able to prove it. And this is 89 00:05:29.720 --> 00:05:32.720 the cycle that Epstein was caught in for how long 90 00:05:33.399 --> 00:05:35.800 the way he moved money should have raised so many 91 00:05:35.839 --> 00:05:38.399 red flags to so many people who should have been 92 00:05:38.439 --> 00:05:42.439 watching that. All of those people, in my opinion, are culpable. 93 00:05:43.439 --> 00:05:45.600 The sad part is most of them who were at 94 00:05:45.600 --> 00:05:49.240 the levers of power have moved on to other institutions, 95 00:05:49.319 --> 00:05:52.040 other entities, and they've never had to answer for the 96 00:05:52.079 --> 00:05:55.360 bullshit they were involved in. When it comes to Jeffrey Epstein. 97 00:05:55.600 --> 00:05:57.279 Now we're starting to see a little bit of that 98 00:05:57.399 --> 00:06:01.439 change with the JP Morgan lawsuit, But really I've had 99 00:06:01.439 --> 00:06:05.160 my fill of financial settlements. I think it's time for 100 00:06:05.199 --> 00:06:07.399 some real justice, and I think it's time that some 101 00:06:07.439 --> 00:06:10.720 of these scumbags ended up in bracelets. A lawyer for 102 00:06:10.759 --> 00:06:13.920 the estate responded that some of the payment was made 103 00:06:13.920 --> 00:06:16.639 in error, but the judge was not satisfied with the 104 00:06:16.720 --> 00:06:20.000 response and asked them to follow up with a fuller accounting. 105 00:06:20.439 --> 00:06:22.839 Now the real question should be from the judge, why 106 00:06:22.879 --> 00:06:25.800 the hell did my colleagues even let this bank get 107 00:06:25.839 --> 00:06:29.079 set up in the first place. Who benefited? Follow the money? 108 00:06:29.839 --> 00:06:33.120 How many payments were made out when this bank popped up? 109 00:06:33.399 --> 00:06:37.040 How many people cashed big checks from Epstein? Well, we 110 00:06:37.120 --> 00:06:39.079 know a lot of people down in the Virgin Islands 111 00:06:39.360 --> 00:06:43.160 were eating from Epstein's pomp that were taking things from them, 112 00:06:43.240 --> 00:06:46.759 gifts and all sorts of other stuff. So how many 113 00:06:46.800 --> 00:06:50.360 of them had money sent to their accounts in the 114 00:06:50.519 --> 00:06:53.680 wake of this bank opening. Because we all know if 115 00:06:53.720 --> 00:06:56.519 you follow the money, eventually you're gonna end up in 116 00:06:56.560 --> 00:07:00.839 some dirty ass politicians office. The check listed in the 117 00:07:00.959 --> 00:07:05.279 estate's transactions for routine payments such as cable TV bills 118 00:07:05.319 --> 00:07:09.360 and phone service for Epstein's many properties stand out. The 119 00:07:09.439 --> 00:07:12.399 list of payments was filed with Herman Purcell, who is 120 00:07:12.480 --> 00:07:15.680 overseeing the six hundred and thirty five million dollar estate, 121 00:07:16.079 --> 00:07:20.519 including the possible establishment of a compensation fund for his victims. 122 00:07:20.680 --> 00:07:22.680 Now we know that that happens, and we know that 123 00:07:22.720 --> 00:07:25.879 the compensation fund paid out roughly one hundred and twenty 124 00:07:25.920 --> 00:07:29.759 five million dollars to the survivor's and one hundred and 125 00:07:29.759 --> 00:07:33.399 five million dollars to the US Virgin Islands. And you 126 00:07:33.399 --> 00:07:35.439 would think that would be enough and their greed would 127 00:07:35.439 --> 00:07:38.160 stop there, but it's not. They have to have their 128 00:07:38.160 --> 00:07:40.600 hand in the cookie jar a little longer and they 129 00:07:40.639 --> 00:07:43.120 have to try and get some more money. Here. Well, 130 00:07:43.279 --> 00:07:45.600 they're running into a buzz saw, and that buz saw 131 00:07:45.639 --> 00:07:48.839 is JP Morgan, because JP Morgan is not going to 132 00:07:48.920 --> 00:07:51.519 just write a check to the US Virgin Islands when 133 00:07:51.519 --> 00:07:55.480 they know that the US Virgin Islands was complicit and 134 00:07:55.920 --> 00:08:00.639

duplicitous when it comes to their relationship with Epstein. That 135 00:08:00.680 --> 00:08:03.000 Epstein was able to get a banking license in the 136 00:08:03.040 --> 00:08:06.600 first place is unusual. His two thousand and eight conviction 137 00:08:06.680 --> 00:08:09.879 in Florida on a charge of soliciting prostitution from an 138 00:08:09.959 --> 00:08:13.199 underage girl required him to register as a sex offender. 139 00:08:13.800 --> 00:08:17.319 Most bank operators doing business in the United States are 140 00:08:17.360 --> 00:08:22.079 required to undergo rigorous background checks, and most banking institutions 141 00:08:22.360 --> 00:08:25.759 are subject to oversight by the Arm of the Treasury 142 00:08:25.959 --> 00:08:30.519 that investigates suspicious financial transactions. It's called the Finsen Division. 143 00:08:31.240 --> 00:08:34.399 Neither was required by the Virgin Islands when Epstein submitted 144 00:08:34.559 --> 00:08:38.320 the application in twenty thirteen. So who makes the rules 145 00:08:38.320 --> 00:08:40.519 down there in the US Virgin Islands. Oh, that's right, 146 00:08:40.799 --> 00:08:44.240 the government of the US Virgin Islands. And they were 147 00:08:44.240 --> 00:08:46.240 the ones who put these laws on the books to 148 00:08:46.320 --> 00:08:48.600 make it so that Epstein could set up this bank 149 00:08:48.759 --> 00:08:51.320 so that they could profit. And that's what the evidence 150 00:08:51.480 --> 00:08:56.320 shows us. The territory had passed its international Banking Entity 151 00:08:56.399 --> 00:08:59.639 law a year earlier in hopes of enticing investment from 152 00:08:59.679 --> 00:09:03.360 over It models its law on that of Puerto Rico, 153 00:09:03.519 --> 00:09:08.679 where international banking entities have existed for three decades. Such 154 00:09:08.759 --> 00:09:12.600 organizations are attractive to offshore investors because the banks are 155 00:09:12.639 --> 00:09:16.200 able to offer more favorable tax treatment than the investors 156 00:09:16.279 --> 00:09:20.759 own countries can. In return, the territories expect local residents 157 00:09:20.840 --> 00:09:24.159 to manage the banks even though they cannot use its 158 00:09:24.159 --> 00:09:28.399 services and under normal circumstances, if you're using these banks 159 00:09:28.399 --> 00:09:31.320 for the right purposes, there's no issue here. But we 160 00:09:31.360 --> 00:09:36.080 know Epstein wasn't everything this man touched. He corrupted. These 161 00:09:36.120 --> 00:09:40.039 specialized banks have drawn scrutiny because of their potential for abuse, 162 00:09:40.320 --> 00:09:44.159 including money laundering. The Federal Reserve Bank of New York 163 00:09:44.320 --> 00:09:48.240 describes international bank entities in the Virgin Islands and Puerto 164 00:09:48.360 --> 00:09:53.759 Rico as high risk institutions. Last year, it temporarily suspended 165 00:09:53.840 --> 00:09:57.440 applications for them

to obtain financial services from the FED 166 00:09:57.840 --> 00:10:01.399 until it can issue stricter rules for and keep in mind, 167 00:10:01.399 --> 00:10:03.759 Epstein could have chosen to go anywhere in the world. 168 00:10:04.000 --> 00:10:06.399 He chose to go to the US Virgin Islands and 169 00:10:06.440 --> 00:10:09.720 set up shop because the rules were favorable to him, 170 00:10:10.039 --> 00:10:12.519 and the rules that weren't favorable to him, well, he 171 00:10:12.600 --> 00:10:15.200 had enough money to pay people off to get those 172 00:10:15.279 --> 00:10:19.720 rules changed. Epstein was carefully evasive in answering a question 173 00:10:19.879 --> 00:10:23.200 on the application that was meant to reveal information about 174 00:10:23.200 --> 00:10:27.320 an applicant's criminal record. His response mentioned as guilty plea 175 00:10:27.360 --> 00:10:30.919 to state charges in Florida, but played down other elements 176 00:10:31.000 --> 00:10:33.720 of the case. Why was he allowed to play it down. 177 00:10:34.080 --> 00:10:37.159 Let's not let the Virgin Islands off here. Sure he's 178 00:10:37.159 --> 00:10:39.200 gonna try and play it down, but it's up to 179 00:10:39.240 --> 00:10:42.080 the regulators and the people in the Virgin Islands who 180 00:10:42.080 --> 00:10:44.840 were in these positions of power to stop this man 181 00:10:44.919 --> 00:10:48.279 from doing his bullshit. And they did not. They failed. 182 00:10:48.919 --> 00:10:51.879 There's no other explanation for it. They failed, and in 183 00:10:52.000 --> 00:10:56.799 doing so, they helped Ebstein continue his criminal enterprise for decades, 184 00:10:57.279 --> 00:11:00.639 for a relatively brief period in what has otherwise been 185 00:11:00.679 --> 00:11:05.080 a productive and accomplished life. The application said Epstein did 186 00:11:05.120 --> 00:11:08.679 face some legal difficulties relating to matters alleged to have 187 00:11:08.720 --> 00:11:12.440 taken place seven years ago. The application noted that a 188 00:11:12.440 --> 00:11:16.519 federal investigation had been discontinued, and that's why it was 189 00:11:16.559 --> 00:11:19.399 so important for him to get rid of those federal charges. 190 00:11:19.639 --> 00:11:22.159 Back in the day. He had to be able to 191 00:11:22.200 --> 00:11:26.240 continue to operate on this level, and he could smooth 192 00:11:26.279 --> 00:11:28.960 over the state charges. But if it was federal, and 193 00:11:29.000 --> 00:11:31.720 we're talking about the Man Act, or we're talking about 194 00:11:31.879 --> 00:11:35.360 human trafficking at the federal level, he would have been 195 00:11:35.399 --> 00:11:38.000 toast and there's no way that he could have operated 196 00:11:38.039 --> 00:11:41.919 the way he did. So once again, he was being enabled, 197 00:11:42.039 --> 00:11:45.240 and this time by the broken ass legal system here 198 00:11:45.240 --> 00:11:49.320 in the United States that people like Epstein continuously manipulate. 199 00:11:50.000 --> 00:11:53.919 But the answer was misleading, said Richard Scott Carnal, a 200 00:11:54.080 --> 00:11:58.879 former Assistant Secretary for Financial Institutions at the Treasury Department. 201 00:11:59.399 --> 00:12:03.200 The application did not reflect that Epstein's plea deal included 202 00:12:03.240 --> 00:12:06.879 an agreement with federal prosecutors who promised not to bring 203 00:12:06.919 --> 00:12:11.080 their own charges. The agreement acknowledged that federal authorities had 204 00:12:11.120 --> 00:12:15.559 compiled a long list of other possible underage victims. Think 205 00:12:15.600 --> 00:12:19.480 about that they had all of these victims, a whole 206 00:12:19.519 --> 00:12:22.480 list of them, amount of evidence, and there were all children, 207 00:12:22.639 --> 00:12:25.240 and they decided not to prosecute them for anything but 208 00:12:25.360 --> 00:12:31.759 solicitation of a minor bank. Regulators expect applicants to be candid, 209 00:12:31.960 --> 00:12:36.919 said Cardinal, now an associate professor at Fordham Law School. 210 00:12:36.960 --> 00:12:40.240 You'd never suspect there was a non prosecution agreement. As 211 00:12:40.279 --> 00:12:43.399 a bank regulator, I'd be outraged to learn that an 212 00:12:43.440 --> 00:12:47.159 applicant has misled me in that way. But they didn't care. 213 00:12:47.279 --> 00:12:49.840 They all knew what you thought. That the regulators down 214 00:12:49.840 --> 00:12:52.399 in the US Virgin Islands weren't hip to what was 215 00:12:52.440 --> 00:12:55.200 going on. They were, they knew exactly what was up. 216 00:12:55.399 --> 00:12:58.360 They chose to do the Helen Keller and not see 217 00:12:58.399 --> 00:13:02.639 what was going on. In his application, Epstein listed as 218 00:13:02.720 --> 00:13:06.879 references James Staley, the chief executive of Barclays, who had 219 00:13:06.879 --> 00:13:10.480 cultivated a relationship with Epstein while at JP Morgan Chase. 220 00:13:11.000 --> 00:13:14.960 Another reference was Andrew Farkas, a New York real estate 221 00:13:15.000 --> 00:13:18.559 tycoon and co owner of a marina and office complex 222 00:13:18.840 --> 00:13:22.919 on Saint Thomas with Epstein. Spokesmen for both men said 223 00:13:23.000 --> 00:13:26.440 they had been unaware they were listed as references, along 224 00:13:26.480 --> 00:13:29.440 with J. P. Morgan and First Bank, a Puerto Rico 225 00:13:29.519 --> 00:13:33.440 based lender with branches in the Virgin Islands that long 226 00:13:33.480 --> 00:13:37.000 held some of Epstein's accounts. Now, going back and looking 227 00:13:37.039 --> 00:13:40.480 at this with hindsight, we all know that Jess Staley 228 00:13:40.559 --> 00:13:43.279 is obviously lying here. He knew what was up, and 229 00:13:43.320 --> 00:13:46.279 he was helping Epstein every step of the way as 230 00:13:46.360 --> 00:13:49.159 far as the financials go. And I called Jeff

Staley 231 00:13:49.200 --> 00:13:51.679 a liar back then, and I'll continue to call him 232 00:13:51.720 --> 00:13:56.120 one now. Dude bullshitted everybody about his relationship with Epstein, 233 00:13:56.279 --> 00:13:59.559 and now that shit's boomeranging back around to hit him 234 00:13:59.720 --> 00:14:03.960 direct in his head. The application was submitted by Erica 235 00:14:04.039 --> 00:14:07.080 Keller Halls, a longtime tax lawyer for Epstein in the 236 00:14:07.159 --> 00:14:11.639 Virgin Islands. She did not return requests for comment. Southern 237 00:14:11.679 --> 00:14:15.720 Country had not commenced doing business as of April twenty eighteen, 238 00:14:16.120 --> 00:14:20.879 according to correspondence between Keller Halls and the territory's banking department. 239 00:14:21.600 --> 00:14:24.840 Regulators said the bank was a self reporting company and 240 00:14:24.879 --> 00:14:29.399 did not require additional regulatory oversight if it was not operational, 241 00:14:30.000 --> 00:14:34.000 but court documents show Southern Country was active for some 242 00:14:34.159 --> 00:14:36.879 of last year. If I was JP Morgan, I'd be 243 00:14:36.919 --> 00:14:39.440 focusing on this right now. And also if I was 244 00:14:39.480 --> 00:14:43.279 the survivors, I'd be zeroing in on the US Virgin Islands. 245 00:14:43.559 --> 00:14:46.360 How dare they take money out of my pocket? Take 246 00:14:46.399 --> 00:14:48.759 food off my table? That's the way I look at 247 00:14:48.799 --> 00:14:53.120 it at Records filed by the estate on Friday indicate 248 00:14:53.159 --> 00:14:56.399 the Southern Country had six hundred and ninety three thousand, 249 00:14:56.559 --> 00:14:59.559 one hundred and fifty seven dollars in assets when Epstein 250 00:14:59.639 --> 00:15:03.799 died August tenth. Then in mid December, the estate transferred 251 00:15:03.960 --> 00:15:07.200 fifteen and a half million to Southern Country in two czechs. 252 00:15:07.440 --> 00:15:10.600 Southern Country sent back two point six million, leaving the 253 00:15:10.639 --> 00:15:14.200 total it received at twelve point nine million. The documents 254 00:15:14.240 --> 00:15:16.919 filed by the estate do not give a reason for 255 00:15:16.960 --> 00:15:20.759 the transfers. It is also not clear what Southern Country 256 00:15:20.799 --> 00:15:23.639 did with that money. Two weeks later, the year end 257 00:15:23.720 --> 00:15:27.240 value of Southern Country's assets was four hundred and ninety 258 00:15:27.279 --> 00:15:30.600 nine thousand, seven hundred and fifty nine dollars, according to 259 00:15:30.639 --> 00:15:33.519 the estate's filings. So where'd that money go? I guess 260 00:15:33.559 --> 00:15:36.960 it just disappeared, right. I guess it's just unaccounted for 261 00:15:37.159 --> 00:15:40.200 and fell into a black hole. What really happened is 262 00:15:40.240 --> 00:15:43.879 it's in somebody's offshore account and nobody's the wives or 263 00:15:43.919 --> 00:15:47.200 for it. The estate has told officials in the Virgin 264 00:15:47.240 --> 00:15:50.080 Islands that it does not intend to renew the bank's 265 00:15:50.080 --> 00:15:54.279 license again. Around the time the territory granted Epstein as 266 00:15:54.320 --> 00:15:57.639 banking license, it also gave a lucrative tax break to 267 00:15:57.759 --> 00:16:03.200 Southern Trust, a company Epstein's said was developing sophisticated algorithms 268 00:16:03.360 --> 00:16:07.480 to mind DNA and financial databases. Boy, that's reassuring. Huh, 269 00:16:07.759 --> 00:16:12.000 this idiot wants to mind DNA databases and compile records 270 00:16:12.000 --> 00:16:15.840 of people's DNA. Sounds like a fantastic plan. The tax 271 00:16:15.840 --> 00:16:19.720 break came from the territory's Economic Development Authority, which was 272 00:16:19.759 --> 00:16:23.879 approved by the territori's former governor, John Dejeong Junior, while 273 00:16:23.879 --> 00:16:28.080 his wife, Cecil worked for Epstein. Neither Cecil DeJong nor 274 00:16:28.080 --> 00:16:32.159 her husband returned messages seeking comment. Well, of course they won't. 275 00:16:32.480 --> 00:16:34.559 They have nothing to say about this. They want to 276 00:16:34.559 --> 00:16:37.000 stay under the radar. But I think a big problem 277 00:16:37.000 --> 00:16:41.039 here is the fact that the USVII is greedy. That's 278 00:16:41.080 --> 00:16:43.039 just what it comes down to. And I think their 279 00:16:43.120 --> 00:16:45.759 greed is going to undo them when all is said 280 00:16:45.759 --> 00:16:48.759 and done. Because if you think JP Morgan is writing 281 00:16:48.799 --> 00:16:51.519 a check to the US Virgin Islands, I have some 282 00:16:51.559 --> 00:16:54.200 beachfront property to sell you in the middle of the 283 00:16:54.240 --> 00:16:58.639 Nevada Desert. The tax break granted in twenty thirteen was 284 00:16:58.679 --> 00:17:02.279 a boon for Epstein. Southern Trust generated about three hundred 285 00:17:02.320 --> 00:17:05.160 million in profit in six years, and he paid an 286 00:17:05.160 --> 00:17:08.559 effective tax rate of about three point nine percent. The 287 00:17:08.599 --> 00:17:12.240 source of Southern Trust revenue is not clear. The bare 288 00:17:12.319 --> 00:17:15.400 bones corporate filings made by the company in the Virgin 289 00:17:15.440 --> 00:17:19.240 Islands do not list any clients. That's because it was 290 00:17:19.279 --> 00:17:22.440 a money washing stop. That's exactly what. It was a 291 00:17:22.480 --> 00:17:24.759 place for them to wash up their money and get 292 00:17:24.759 --> 00:17:28.240 it sent back out into the financial system, colored up 293 00:17:28.279 --> 00:17:31.920 and ready to go. Although the Virgin Islands was long 294 00:17:31.920 --> 00:17:34.559 a place where Epstein got his way, it is lately 295 00:17:34.599 --> 00:17:37.640 cast itself as one of his victims. In a lawsuit 296 00:17:37.759 -->

00:17:41.160 last month, the Attorney General of the Virgin Islands, Denise George, 297 00:17:41.319 --> 00:17:45.440 said Epstein had sullied the territory's reputation with his conduct. 298 00:17:45.599 --> 00:17:49.880 What about your conduct, Denise George, What about your colleague's conduct? 299 00:17:50.119 --> 00:17:54.039 What about Stacy Plaskett? She sued Epstein's estate, seeking to 300 00:17:54.079 --> 00:17:57.440 seize his private islands and dissolve what she said were 301 00:17:57.519 --> 00:18:01.720 shell companies acting as fronts for his sex trafficking enterprise. 302 00:18:02.240 --> 00:18:04.839 There's a lot of that that's true. But also let's 303 00:18:04.920 --> 00:18:08.160 not forget the money laundering aspect of this. A lot 304 00:18:08.160 --> 00:18:10.960 of people leave that out because it's not as salacious, 305 00:18:11.200 --> 00:18:13.920 but remember that's how you get most of these criminals 306 00:18:14.079 --> 00:18:18.119 financial crimes. The suit seeks to intervene in the administration 307 00:18:18.240 --> 00:18:22.079 of Epstein's will to safeguard assets for dozens of his victims, 308 00:18:22.559 --> 00:18:25.680 claiming the co executors may have a conflict of interest 309 00:18:25.960 --> 00:18:30.440 because they were officers in many of Epstein's companies, including 310 00:18:30.480 --> 00:18:35.319 Southern Country and Southern Trust. The co executors, Darren Endyke 311 00:18:35.519 --> 00:18:39.200 and Richard Kahn, did not return requests for comment. Well, 312 00:18:39.240 --> 00:18:42.279 they were part of the whole entire criminal conspiracy, and 313 00:18:42.359 --> 00:18:44.920 the fact that their skating free and dry here is 314 00:18:45.039 --> 00:18:50.880 just unbelievable to me. Herman Purcell, the magistrate judge overseeing 315 00:18:50.880 --> 00:18:54.279 the administration of Epstein's will in the US Virgin Islands, 316 00:18:54.519 --> 00:18:57.720 heard arguments on the Attorney General's requests at the hearing 317 00:18:57.960 --> 00:19:01.119 on Tuesday. The judge said she would issue a ruling 318 00:19:01.519 --> 00:19:04.720 at a later date, so we all know that it 319 00:19:04.759 --> 00:19:07.440 has progressed from here. But I wanted to go back 320 00:19:07.480 --> 00:19:10.039 and talk about this one more time because it's just 321 00:19:10.079 --> 00:19:13.240 another receipt to show you what I'm talking about when 322 00:19:13.240 --> 00:19:16.319 it comes to the US Virgin Islands and their negligence 323 00:19:16.559 --> 00:19:20.799 with Epstein and Jeffrey Epstein's discussing crimes and the fact 324 00:19:20.839 --> 00:19:22.920 that they think they're going to get more money here 325 00:19:23.279 --> 00:19:25.359 is absurd to me, and I think it needs to 326 00:19:25.400 --> 00:19:28.079 be pointed out that they are not a victim, and 327 00:19:28.200 --> 00:19:32.799 in fact, they're an enabler themselves. All Right, folks, that's 328 00:19:32.839 --> 00:19:34.440 going to do it for this one. All of the 329 00:19:34.440 --> 00:19:37.480 information that goes with the episode can be found in 330 00:19:37.559 --> 00:19:41.839 the description box. With Lucky Lin, we've talked a lot 331 00:19:42.200 --> 00:19:47.119 about Darren Endyke on the program and how he was 332 00:19:47.519 --> 00:19:51.119 very much involved with Jeffrey Epstein and the day to 333 00:19:51.200 --> 00:19:56.880 day operations of the criminal enterprise. In tonight's article, we're 334 00:19:56.880 --> 00:20:00.160 going to add a little more context to that, and 335 00:20:00.440 --> 00:20:06.319 this article is going to explain how Darren Indyke and 336 00:20:06.720 --> 00:20:13.319 the pattern of transactions made from Deutsche Bank signal the 337 00:20:13.359 --> 00:20:17.920 patterns of somebody who is engaging in money laundering. We've 338 00:20:17.960 --> 00:20:24.680 talked about ctrs here, We've talked about different ways that 339 00:20:25.079 --> 00:20:28.559 the government has to keep an eye on these sorts 340 00:20:28.559 --> 00:20:33.480 of transactions. And when I say CTR, I mean cash 341 00:20:33.640 --> 00:20:38.559 transaction reporting. So the government has all of these guidelines 342 00:20:38.599 --> 00:20:42.519 in place to make sure that money laundering doesn't occur. 343 00:20:43.200 --> 00:20:48.119 And Deutsche Bank and Darren Endike and Jeffrey Epstein obviously 344 00:20:48.759 --> 00:20:53.839 ignored all of those rules and it looks like Darren 345 00:20:53.960 --> 00:20:58.599 Endyke was engaging in something called structuring. And what structuring 346 00:20:58.720 --> 00:21:02.160 is is when you will draw money from the bank 347 00:21:02.359 --> 00:21:06.680 in increments that do not trigger you to have to 348 00:21:07.079 --> 00:21:11.640 sign CTR paperwork or for it to be a CTR 349 00:21:12.200 --> 00:21:15.680 type of transaction, and that would be anything over ten 350 00:21:15.720 --> 00:21:19.400 thousand dollars. So ten thousand dollars and one cent makes 351 00:21:19.400 --> 00:21:23.119 it a CTR transaction. So what you do if you're 352 00:21:23.119 --> 00:21:28.759 trying to structure from let's say a sports wagering perspective, 353 00:21:28.839 --> 00:21:32.039 because in the sports books it's the same deal. You 354 00:21:32.160 --> 00:21:34.839 have to keep track of what these players are wagering, 355 00:21:35.079 --> 00:21:39.160 and any anytime ten thousand dollars goes across the counter 356 00:21:39.480 --> 00:21:43.160 in one transaction or multiple, it has to be CTR. 357 00:21:43.680 --> 00:21:45.920 So what will happen is you'll have people that try 358 00:21:45.960 --> 00:21:49.559 and do something called structuring where they'll make sure that 359 00:21:49.640 --> 00:21:52.519 the ten thousand dollars is never coming across the counter 360 00:21:52.680 --> 00:21:55.319 one way or the other. And when you notice a 361 00:21:55.359 --> 00:21:59.200 pattern of people

trying to do that, you sark them 362 00:21:59.440 --> 00:22:03.279 suspicious activity report. And the bank they have the same 363 00:22:03.319 --> 00:22:07.039 mechanisms in place to try and stop money laundering. And 364 00:22:07.240 --> 00:22:11.440 Deutsche Bank and other financial institutions, by the way, we're 365 00:22:11.440 --> 00:22:14.880 looking the other way when Jeffrey Epstein and his minions 366 00:22:14.920 --> 00:22:18.920 like Darren Endyke were engaging in this bit of smurfing. 367 00:22:19.759 --> 00:22:22.359 So let's jump into our article from Law and Crime, 368 00:22:22.960 --> 00:22:25.640 and let's add a little bit more meat to the 369 00:22:25.680 --> 00:22:29.240 bone here and some more context to the money laundering angle. 370 00:22:30.279 --> 00:22:34.960 This article is from Lawn and Crime. The headline brutal 371 00:22:35.039 --> 00:22:38.640 rebuke of Deutsche Bank raises serious questions about one of 372 00:22:38.720 --> 00:22:44.160 Jeffrey Epstein's lawyers. This article was authored by Jerry Lamb 373 00:22:44.279 --> 00:22:50.759 on July seventh of twenty twenty. Deutsche Bank on Tuesday 374 00:22:50.880 --> 00:22:53.599 agreed to one hundred and fifty million dollars settlement over 375 00:22:53.640 --> 00:22:58.279 its relationship with since deceased sex offender pedophile Jeffrey Epstein, 376 00:22:58.640 --> 00:23:02.119 shining a light on the German based bank's consistent failure 377 00:23:02.400 --> 00:23:06.640 to comply with financial regulations concerning millions of dollars of 378 00:23:06.680 --> 00:23:10.640 suspicious transactions. And it's not just Jeffrey Epstein who was 379 00:23:10.720 --> 00:23:13.200 using this bank, right, We know that a lot of 380 00:23:13.200 --> 00:23:16.839 these billionaire types of people were using We're using Deutsche Bank, 381 00:23:16.920 --> 00:23:20.240 are still using it. A lot of Russian oligarchs, Donald 382 00:23:20.279 --> 00:23:23.640 Trump had money there, A lot of these billionaires used 383 00:23:23.880 --> 00:23:27.279 this bank. And I said, from the very outset, if 384 00:23:27.319 --> 00:23:31.640 the American Congress was serious about looking into Trump and 385 00:23:31.720 --> 00:23:36.200 if he did have any kind of relationship with the Russians. 386 00:23:36.240 --> 00:23:39.279 It would have been through the financials, not the way 387 00:23:39.319 --> 00:23:43.279 they went about it. And Deutsche Bank is the common 388 00:23:43.319 --> 00:23:47.319 denominator here though, folks. That's what's really important. Deutsche Bank 389 00:23:47.640 --> 00:23:52.000 seems to always be embroiled in some sort of money 390 00:23:52.039 --> 00:23:58.119 laundering scheme or financial irregularities as they like to call it. 391 00:23:58.319 --> 00:24:00.960 For me or you, that's money laundering or you know, 392 00:24:01.720 --> 00:24:05.400 washing our money or avoiding taxes for me or you 393 00:24:05.480 --> 00:24:09.119 forget it, Whe're going to

prison, end of story. These guys, Ah, 394 00:24:09.160 --> 00:24:11.759 they don't even get in trouble. Their bankers get clipped 395 00:24:11.759 --> 00:24:18.599 with a fine. But the details contained in the blunt 396 00:24:18.680 --> 00:24:22.119 consent order between the bank and New York State financial 397 00:24:22.200 --> 00:24:26.319 regulators may potentially provide prosecutors with a new route for 398 00:24:26.359 --> 00:24:31.480 unearthing vital information pertaining to Epstein's alleged criminal network. And 399 00:24:31.519 --> 00:24:33.440 this is what I've been talking about from the jump, 400 00:24:33.519 --> 00:24:36.519 right when I talk about RICO and I talk about 401 00:24:37.640 --> 00:24:42.839 for financial forensic accountants, that's what you need. You needs 402 00:24:43.119 --> 00:24:47.319 financial forensic accountants digging into all of these transactions. They 403 00:24:47.359 --> 00:24:52.079 need to find the origin of where the transactions originated from, 404 00:24:52.440 --> 00:24:55.240 and they need to find the destination and every single 405 00:24:55.279 --> 00:25:00.559 person who is involved in facilitating these transactions or fattening 406 00:25:00.599 --> 00:25:04.000 their pocket from these transactions, needs to be caught up 407 00:25:04.079 --> 00:25:08.759 in this rico investigation, just like anybody else would be. Again, 408 00:25:09.000 --> 00:25:12.559 that's all I'm talking about here, Fairness under the law, 409 00:25:12.759 --> 00:25:16.599 one law for everybody. I don't care if you're a 410 00:25:16.200 --> 00:25:19.839 big banker at one of these stupid ass large banks. 411 00:25:20.000 --> 00:25:22.279 I don't care if you're Jeffrey Epstein. I don't care 412 00:25:22.319 --> 00:25:26.799 if you're the ice cream man. Everybody should I get 413 00:25:26.799 --> 00:25:30.279 a fair shake if they get in trouble or if 414 00:25:30.279 --> 00:25:33.359 they got to go before a judge. The decks shouldn't 415 00:25:33.359 --> 00:25:36.680 be stacked against the common man, the or the common woman, 416 00:25:37.000 --> 00:25:40.079 where people like Jeffrey Epstein and his big buddies at 417 00:25:40.119 --> 00:25:49.119 Deutsche Bank just get a slap on the wrist. According 418 00:25:49.119 --> 00:25:52.759 to the agreement, an unnamed personal attorney working for Epstein 419 00:25:53.119 --> 00:25:57.240 made ninety seven separate cash withdrawals from Epstein's accounts at 420 00:25:57.240 --> 00:26:01.160 the same Manhattan location between two thousand, in thirteen and 421 00:26:01.279 --> 00:26:05.640 twenty seventeen. An unnamed personal attorney Huh, I'll give you 422 00:26:05.640 --> 00:26:08.119 guys one guess. Okay, I'm gonna go out on a 423 00:26:08.119 --> 00:26:10.799 limb here, and I'm guessing this limb that I'm out 424 00:26:10.839 --> 00:26:15.680 on is pretty strong. It's gonna be a Darren Endyke 425 00:26:15.839 --> 00:26:17.720 who was involved in all of this. We know he 426

00:26:17.839 --> 00:26:21.359 was handling the day to day operations for Jeffrey Epstein. 427 00:26:21.440 --> 00:26:24.400 From a legal standpoint, we know that it was Darren 428 00:26:24.519 --> 00:26:27.759 Endyke who was the bag man. We know all of this. 429 00:26:27.920 --> 00:26:34.119 His name was all over, littered, all over documentation. And 430 00:26:34.640 --> 00:26:37.640 you think Jeffrey Epstein would have somebody involved in his 431 00:26:37.680 --> 00:26:42.079 smurfing scheme, his structuring plot that he couldn't trust, somebody 432 00:26:42.119 --> 00:26:49.640 that wasn't ironclad and already locked into the conspiracy. Come on, folks. 433 00:26:50.200 --> 00:26:53.799 The transactions, which occurred two to three times per month, 434 00:26:54.160 --> 00:26:56.920 were all in the amount of seventy five hundred dollars 435 00:26:57.160 --> 00:27:01.359 Deutsche Banks limit for third party withdrawal. So basically he 436 00:27:01.480 --> 00:27:06.240 was acting as Endyke, who were speculating was the lawyer here. 437 00:27:06.799 --> 00:27:11.559 He was acting as a third party agent for Jeffrey Epstein. 438 00:27:11.920 --> 00:27:16.039 Now again in the financial sector, so far as the 439 00:27:16.039 --> 00:27:19.680 sportsbook world, we have the same thing. Somebody can act 440 00:27:19.680 --> 00:27:22.640 as your agent and wager on your behalf if all 441 00:27:22.680 --> 00:27:26.480 of the proper documentation is filled out, and if that 442 00:27:26.599 --> 00:27:30.039 documentation is not filled out and you're giving somebody money 443 00:27:30.160 --> 00:27:33.799 a wager on your behalf, well it is technically illegal. 444 00:27:34.519 --> 00:27:36.880 And the same goes here, right if you're going to 445 00:27:36.880 --> 00:27:39.920 act as an agent for somebody, there are certain guidelines 446 00:27:39.960 --> 00:27:43.759 that must be followed, and I mean, I'm shocked that 447 00:27:43.799 --> 00:27:47.000 they even followed the seventy five hundred dollars guidelines. I 448 00:27:47.039 --> 00:27:50.079 guess they didn't want to trigger Finsen too much, so 449 00:27:50.160 --> 00:27:51.839 they had to, you know, sprinkle a little bit of 450 00:27:51.880 --> 00:27:57.000 truth in with their lives. Under federal regulations, banks and 451 00:27:57.079 --> 00:28:01.960 other financial institutions must file currents transaction reports with the 452 00:28:02.119 --> 00:28:05.599 US Treasury Department when there are cash transactions with an 453 00:28:05.640 --> 00:28:09.599 individual in excess of ten thousand dollars in one day. 454 00:28:10.240 --> 00:28:12.400 And that's what I was talking to you about just 455 00:28:12.400 --> 00:28:14.799 a second ago. As far as the sports book goes, 456 00:28:15.200 --> 00:28:17.279 so you know, I would deal with that quite a bit. 457 00:28:18.759 --> 00:28:23.039 The sportsbook I worked for, we would take huge, gigantic wagers. 458 00:28:23.400 --> 00:28:27.279 It was nothing for me to take one hundred thousand 459 00:28:27.359 --> 00:28:30.759 dollars or more on a football game on a Thursday night. 460 00:28:31.480 --> 00:28:34.200 So I was dealing with a lot of big money. 461 00:28:34.880 --> 00:28:38.400 And anytime ten thousand dollars went over the counter, one 462 00:28:38.400 --> 00:28:41.839 way or the other. Well, we had ourselves a CTR situation, 463 00:28:42.440 --> 00:28:46.160 and if I missed a CTR or one of them 464 00:28:46.200 --> 00:28:50.599 didn't get filed and something occurred, forget it. It was 465 00:28:50.640 --> 00:28:54.440 a big deal. It was a serious transgression. Gaming would 466 00:28:54.480 --> 00:28:57.960 get involved and it would become a big, serious, serious situation. 467 00:28:58.559 --> 00:29:00.759 So the fact that Deutsche Bank was able to get 468 00:29:00.759 --> 00:29:03.160 away with shit like this and let it fly under 469 00:29:03.200 --> 00:29:06.440 the radar, I just don't understand how that could happen 470 00:29:06.839 --> 00:29:11.079 unless they had people directing their auditing team to do so. 471 00:29:11.519 --> 00:29:13.720 Because that's what happens right at the end of the night, 472 00:29:13.799 --> 00:29:17.119 at least from the sportsbook, everything gets packed away, sent 473 00:29:17.200 --> 00:29:19.759 up to auditing. They go over it and they look 474 00:29:19.799 --> 00:29:24.880 for discrepancies and if you screwed up, you'll get notified 475 00:29:24.920 --> 00:29:28.920 in the morning. And I'm sure it's the same within 476 00:29:28.960 --> 00:29:36.200 this banking system. Breaking up transactions to avoid the CTR 477 00:29:36.319 --> 00:29:40.519 reporting is a criminal offense, commonly referred to as structuring 478 00:29:40.559 --> 00:29:44.400 the agreement stated, and that's exactly what it is. Again. 479 00:29:44.440 --> 00:29:46.240 I dealt with it quite a bit when I was 480 00:29:46.279 --> 00:29:50.720 working in the financial sector sports gaming, and it was 481 00:29:50.759 --> 00:29:52.519 a big problem. Right, you had a lot of people 482 00:29:52.559 --> 00:29:54.960 trying to game the system. They don't want their names 483 00:29:55.000 --> 00:29:58.359 in this database. They certainly don't want to fill out 484 00:29:58.359 --> 00:30:00.799 the government paperwork, right, They don't want to fill out 485 00:30:00.839 --> 00:30:02.880 that W nine. They don't want to give over their 486 00:30:02.960 --> 00:30:05.799 ID and their social so they have to fill out 487 00:30:05.839 --> 00:30:07.680 that W nine. If they don't have their social and 488 00:30:07.720 --> 00:30:09.640 forget it, it becomes a whole thing. I can't tell 489 00:30:09.680 --> 00:30:13.480 you how many arguments I got into with customers who 490 00:30:13.519 --> 00:30:17.039 did not want to pony up the proper documentation. You 491 00:30:17.079 --> 00:30:19.720 would think if somebody won ten grand and a few 492 00:30:19.759 --> 00:30:22.960 bucks more would want to

pony up whatever sort of 493 00:30:23.000 --> 00:30:25.680 documentation that's coming your way, right, if you're going to 494 00:30:25.720 --> 00:30:28.279 get that kind of dough. But these people were resistant, 495 00:30:28.799 --> 00:30:33.279 and you can't explain ctr to them. It's illegal while 496 00:30:33.279 --> 00:30:35.359 I'm at work for me to explain to you how 497 00:30:35.359 --> 00:30:38.720 to structure a bet or how to structure a money 498 00:30:38.799 --> 00:30:42.559 laundering move. So there was a lot of things that 499 00:30:42.680 --> 00:30:46.480 had to occur, and we weren't able to get into 500 00:30:46.559 --> 00:30:49.400 the particulars with the customers, and that really launched them 501 00:30:49.400 --> 00:30:52.079 into orbit. We had these little cards we get hand 502 00:30:52.079 --> 00:30:54.960 out that explained what title thirty one was. I swear, 503 00:30:55.279 --> 00:30:59.480 I swear to you, I shit you not as attorney 504 00:30:59.559 --> 00:31:03.279 Adrian Lawrence noted this type of conduct is a classic 505 00:31:03.400 --> 00:31:07.720 indicator of money laundering, and there's a tweet embedded into 506 00:31:07.720 --> 00:31:12.640 the article by this lawyer, Adrian Lewis Adrian Lawrence, excuse me, 507 00:31:12.759 --> 00:31:17.240 or adrianne Lawrence. During one period, Epstein made ninety seven 508 00:31:17.319 --> 00:31:20.599 cash withdrawals of seventy five hundred dollars. Now, why would 509 00:31:20.599 --> 00:31:23.799 you make the withdrawals at seventy five hundred Why wouldn't 510 00:31:23.799 --> 00:31:26.839 you just make them for the ten thousand dollars? Why 511 00:31:26.880 --> 00:31:29.799 wouldn't you make them for thirty six hundred dollars. So 512 00:31:29.839 --> 00:31:32.920 it's seventy five hundred bucks out a clip. Why don't 513 00:31:32.960 --> 00:31:36.279 you just transfer that money? Because they're trying to deal 514 00:31:36.319 --> 00:31:39.319 in cash, and of course you can't trace cash the 515 00:31:39.359 --> 00:31:44.480 way you can digital transactions and money transfers, So of 516 00:31:44.559 --> 00:31:47.559 course they want to make sure that cash is the king, 517 00:31:48.200 --> 00:31:54.319 and that's how they roll. Making numerous cash transactions beneath 518 00:31:54.359 --> 00:31:58.079 the ten thousand dollars reporting threshold is called smurfing, an 519 00:31:58.119 --> 00:32:01.880 indicator of money laundering. Deutsche Bank was unnotice, but it 520 00:32:01.960 --> 00:32:05.680 evidently looked away. And again, look, I find it hard 521 00:32:05.720 --> 00:32:10.319 to believe that everybody missed the signs that this was 522 00:32:10.400 --> 00:32:14.839 obvious money laundering and at the very least Title thirty 523 00:32:14.839 --> 00:32:20.039 one CTR violations, that alone should have triggered a huge investigation. 524 00:32:20.480 --> 00:32:23.440 It should have triggered all kinds of action on the 525 00:32:23.480 --> 00:32:27.000 part of

the authorities. But that at Deutsche Bank they 526 00:32:27.039 --> 00:32:29.880 obviously weren't where they didn't care right, they were ignoring 527 00:32:29.920 --> 00:32:32.960 it because it's not just you know, for instance, we 528 00:32:33.039 --> 00:32:35.759 have you have several lines of defense for things like this. 529 00:32:35.920 --> 00:32:38.640 At the end of the day, it ends up in auditing, 530 00:32:38.839 --> 00:32:42.559 and auditing goes through everything with a fine tooth comb, 531 00:32:42.599 --> 00:32:45.480 and they're supposed to be the people who find these 532 00:32:45.559 --> 00:32:48.359 indiscretions and then call down to the bank and say, 533 00:32:48.400 --> 00:32:52.359 what in the f is going on? But it looks 534 00:32:52.400 --> 00:32:55.960 like none of that occurred here, and that Darren Endyke 535 00:32:56.279 --> 00:33:00.680 allegedly was able to be involved in about ninety seven 536 00:33:00.720 --> 00:33:05.839 transactions in just one period where he was structuring the withdrawals. 537 00:33:07.720 --> 00:33:11.440 The term smurfing refers to a common structuring technique where 538 00:33:11.440 --> 00:33:17.480 a money launderer employs individuals or smurfs to make unlawful transactions. Now, 539 00:33:17.559 --> 00:33:21.119 in my industry, we call them beards, and a beard 540 00:33:21.359 --> 00:33:25.440 is somebody who comes in and wagers for somebody who 541 00:33:25.519 --> 00:33:28.319 we call a sharp. Now a sharp is somebody who 542 00:33:28.400 --> 00:33:32.839 has a very good track record against the book, or 543 00:33:32.920 --> 00:33:36.559 somebody who has perhaps found a way to gain the game, 544 00:33:36.599 --> 00:33:40.680 the system, or whatever the circumstances may be. Their action 545 00:33:41.039 --> 00:33:44.000 is no longer welcomed with the book. So what they 546 00:33:44.039 --> 00:33:47.039 do is they employ somebody called a beard, and that 547 00:33:47.160 --> 00:33:50.559 person acts as if it was their money, and they 548 00:33:50.559 --> 00:33:54.559 are the ones who come and wager and collect and 549 00:33:54.799 --> 00:33:58.799 pay into their accounts whatever it may be, which is 550 00:33:58.839 --> 00:34:03.319 not legal by that time. Furthermore, on at least two occasions, 551 00:34:03.039 --> 00:34:07.559 Epstein's attorney also inquired how he could withdraw cash on 552 00:34:07.640 --> 00:34:11.599 behalf of mister Epstein without triggering an alert that is 553 00:34:11.719 --> 00:34:17.280 so insanely out of bounds when it comes to a 554 00:34:17.320 --> 00:34:21.039 financial institution. The fact that he even asked he should 555 00:34:21.039 --> 00:34:24.639 have been sarked right there, suspicious activity report. It should 556 00:34:24.639 --> 00:34:29.480 have went into the finsend database and the alarm should 557 00:34:29.480 --> 00:34:33.920 have been buzzed up high. Because this is just this 558 00:34:33.960 --> 00:34:36.480 is what I was just talking about. Can't you can't 559 00:34:36.480 --> 00:34:39.679 help somebody structure, You can't give them tips on how 560 00:34:39.719 --> 00:34:42.239 to beat title thirty one, And that's what he was 561 00:34:42.280 --> 00:34:46.199 asking Deutsche Bank to do. And obviously it was on 562 00:34:46.239 --> 00:34:50.440 two separate occasions, and the people told somebody because we're 563 00:34:50.480 --> 00:34:54.440 hearing about it here, but nothing occurred. Epstein's accounts should 564 00:34:54.440 --> 00:35:01.239 have been frozen that moment. Former federal prosecutor Hanado Mariatti, 565 00:35:01.519 --> 00:35:04.960 a CNN legal analyst, pointed out that prosecutors in the 566 00:35:05.000 --> 00:35:08.000 Southern District of New York could very likely use this 567 00:35:08.119 --> 00:35:12.239 information against this unaimed lawyer to make him cooperate with 568 00:35:12.280 --> 00:35:17.400 their investigation into Epstein's other associates. Now, remember this dude, 569 00:35:18.480 --> 00:35:21.440 I'm speculating as Darren Endyke. And if that's the case, 570 00:35:21.480 --> 00:35:26.480 he's an executor of the estate. After all we've learned 571 00:35:26.480 --> 00:35:29.760 about Darren Endyke, Folks, after everything we've heard about him, 572 00:35:29.960 --> 00:35:33.079 about the criminality he's been engaged in from day one 573 00:35:33.119 --> 00:35:36.519 with Jeffrey Epstein, do you really think that this man 574 00:35:36.559 --> 00:35:43.800 should be administering the estate of Jeffrey Epstein. Of course not. 575 00:35:43.880 --> 00:35:46.960 There has to be some sort of mechanism to remove 576 00:35:47.039 --> 00:35:52.960 this man. Epstein's attorney should be concerned about his own liability, 577 00:35:53.199 --> 00:35:56.280 given that he asked how to evade requirements. I would 578 00:35:56.280 --> 00:35:59.960 not be surprised if SDNY federal prosecutors tried to put 579 00:36:00.119 --> 00:36:03.440 pressure on this attorney in order to convince him to 580 00:36:03.480 --> 00:36:08.639 cooperate against Epstein's other associates. Marriotti wrote, but any cooperation 581 00:36:08.800 --> 00:36:13.400 would be complicated by potential attorney client privilege issues. I've 582 00:36:13.440 --> 00:36:17.719 prosecuted lawyers and later represented lawyers who were under investigation, 583 00:36:18.199 --> 00:36:22.880 and prosecuting a lawyer is never easy. Immunity in exchange 584 00:36:22.880 --> 00:36:26.280 for the lawyer's cooperation is a possibility, depending on what 585 00:36:26.320 --> 00:36:30.400 the lawyer did and how helpful he can be. Well, 586 00:36:30.639 --> 00:36:35.360 we know for a fact that the SDNY goes after lawyers. 587 00:36:35.519 --> 00:36:38.239 They went after Cohen, Trump's lawyer, right, and not only 588 00:36:38.239 --> 00:36:41.039 went after him, they hung all boy from on high. 589 00:36:42.320 --> 00:36:44.559 So we know that the SDNY is not going to 590 00:36:44.599 -->

00:36:48.920 shy away from that because they will go after lawyers. 591 00:36:48.960 --> 00:36:52.639 They have done it obviously already, so I would not 592 00:36:52.719 --> 00:36:55.559 be shocked to see them go after Indike. I've already 593 00:36:55.559 --> 00:36:57.960 said on record here that I believe that after all 594 00:36:58.000 --> 00:37:00.639 is said and done, Indyke's going to need lawyers of 595 00:37:00.639 --> 00:37:09.679 his own. In an interview with Lawn Crime, CNN legal 596 00:37:09.719 --> 00:37:14.559 analyst Eli Hanig, a former SDNY prosecutor, said he largely 597 00:37:14.599 --> 00:37:19.320 agrees with Mariotte's take. Basically, anything that will give SDNY 598 00:37:19.480 --> 00:37:22.679 leverage can potentially be used to flip those who may 599 00:37:22.719 --> 00:37:26.320 have been involved in criminal activity. Hanig said, if you 600 00:37:26.440 --> 00:37:29.840 have a lawyer who was intentionally breaking off transactions to 601 00:37:29.920 --> 00:37:34.199 avoid triggering reporting requirements, that's a violation of federal law, 602 00:37:34.360 --> 00:37:37.559 which is certainly something that could be used as leverage 603 00:37:37.679 --> 00:37:40.400 to flip somebody, for sure. And that's what I've said 604 00:37:40.440 --> 00:37:43.920 to you here forever right. That's what they do in 605 00:37:43.960 --> 00:37:46.800 these federal investigations. I've seen it with my own eyes. 606 00:37:47.039 --> 00:37:50.199 I've seen people get broken down by the federal government 607 00:37:50.239 --> 00:37:53.719 this way. They will use whatever they can to get 608 00:37:53.840 --> 00:37:56.840 you to flip on your friends or flip on your associates. 609 00:37:57.159 --> 00:37:59.800 And that's how it works. And if they have some 610 00:38:00.079 --> 00:38:04.400 leverage on Indyke in this regard, you better believe Alison 611 00:38:04.480 --> 00:38:07.719 Mowen company are going to use it and they're going 612 00:38:07.760 --> 00:38:14.079 to leverage him. Hanig explained that while attorney client privilege 613 00:38:14.239 --> 00:38:18.480 would certainly complicate the matter, that privilege would not attach 614 00:38:18.599 --> 00:38:23.440 to criminal conduct. There's a crime fraud exception to attorney 615 00:38:23.480 --> 00:38:27.320 client privilege, meaning that if the conversations were in furtherance 616 00:38:27.360 --> 00:38:30.880 of a contemplated or ongoing crime, then the content of 617 00:38:30.960 --> 00:38:35.920 those conversations are no longer protected by privilege. Hanig added. 618 00:38:36.599 --> 00:38:42.159 Former federal and state prosecutor Daniel R. Alonso suggested SDNY 619 00:38:42.400 --> 00:38:47.760 was likely already investigating the unnamed attorney. This is a 620 00:38:47.840 --> 00:38:53.239 vast investigation, and the grand jury is still convened. They're 621 00:38:53.280 --> 00:39:00.000 investigating many angles and many people, and unnamed lawyer aka 622 00:39:00.280 --> 00:39:05.880 Darren Endike is most assuredly, in my opinion, one of them. 623 00:39:06.320 --> 00:39:10.679 Here's a tweet from Daniel R. Alonso talking about how 624 00:39:10.719 --> 00:39:17.360 he agrees with Renata Hanado Mariatt's breakdown of the situation 625 00:39:17.960 --> 00:39:21.599 very true, and note that structuring is also used very 626 00:39:21.599 --> 00:39:26.760 frequently to establish probable cause to obtain search warrants. Given 627 00:39:26.800 --> 00:39:29.159 that we know, given what we know about this, it 628 00:39:29.239 --> 00:39:32.639 is likely the government has been investigating this lawyer for 629 00:39:32.760 --> 00:39:36.679 some time and this is all part of the larger, 630 00:39:37.000 --> 00:39:41.320 grandiose investigation, right, And they only need something like this 631 00:39:41.480 --> 00:39:43.760 to use as probable cause to get their foot in 632 00:39:43.800 --> 00:39:46.239 the door. And then once the foot in the foot 633 00:39:46.280 --> 00:39:48.320 is in the door, we see how that ends up. 634 00:39:50.679 --> 00:39:54.480 According to the consent agreement, which did not sugarcoat Deutsche 635 00:39:54.519 --> 00:39:57.440 Bank's turning of a blind eye to Epstein. The bank 636 00:39:57.519 --> 00:40:01.239 properly classified Epstein as a high risk client, but didn't 637 00:40:01.280 --> 00:40:07.119 take necessary precautions and didn't examine suspicious transactions associated with 638 00:40:07.280 --> 00:40:11.199 exorbitant cash spending. So basically, they look the other way. 639 00:40:11.400 --> 00:40:15.519 They didn't take any of their finsen responsibilities seriously, and 640 00:40:15.559 --> 00:40:20.960 they avoided all of these obvious money laundering type transactions. 641 00:40:22.159 --> 00:40:25.199 The bank was well aware not only that mister Epstein 642 00:40:25.239 --> 00:40:28.280 had pled guilty and served prison time for engaging in 643 00:40:28.360 --> 00:40:31.119 sex with a minor, but also that there were public 644 00:40:31.159 --> 00:40:36.320 allegations that his conduct was facilitated by several named co conspirators. 645 00:40:37.159 --> 00:40:39.960 Despite this knowledge, the bank did little or nothing to 646 00:40:40.079 --> 00:40:45.480 inquire into or block numerous payments to named co conspirators 647 00:40:45.559 --> 00:40:50.400 and to or on behalf of numerous young women, or 648 00:40:50.639 --> 00:40:54.760 to inquire how mister Epstein was using, on average more 649 00:40:54.800 --> 00:40:58.199 than two hundred thousand dollars per year in cash. The 650 00:40:58.280 --> 00:41:03.679 agreement stated they basically gave Jeffrey Epstein the keys to 651 00:41:03.760 --> 00:41:08.280 the kingdom and told him financially, you can run amuck, 652 00:41:08.519 --> 00:41:12.199 do whatever you want. You can spend as much money, 653 00:41:12.199 --> 00:41:13.800 I mean, you can move as much money as you 654 00:41:13.840 --> 00:41:16.719 want here put as much money as you want in 655 00:41:16.840 --> 00:41:20.000 the bank, take it out whatever you want, and while 656 00:41:20.039 --> 00:41:22.519 you're at it, go ahead and just send over your smurf, 657 00:41:22.559 --> 00:41:24.960 your beard, and he could take out as much as 658 00:41:25.000 --> 00:41:30.159 he wants to. Well, they never thought the house of 659 00:41:30.280 --> 00:41:34.920 cards was going to come down around them, and now 660 00:41:36.320 --> 00:41:40.400 all of these chickens are coming home to roost, and 661 00:41:40.639 --> 00:41:48.400 people like unnamed lawyer here aka mister Indike are looking 662 00:41:48.440 --> 00:41:54.159 at a world of pain.
