When the money’s dirty, it stinks

In a bombshell letter to Attorney General Pam Bondi, the chair of the Senate Finance Committee –Senator Ron Wyden—details the results of his team’s extensive 3-year investigation into Jeffery Epstein.

A 3-Year Long Senate Finance Commitee led by chair Sen. Ron Wyden, D. Ore, found 4,725 wire transfers adding up to $1.08 BILLION flowing in and out of just ONE of Epstein’s bank accounts. Epstein used several now sanctioned Russian banks for hundreds of millions of dollars in wire transfers.

He recommends 7 lines of inquisition the DOJ could take. One of which was the below which really caught my attention. I didn’t even think about the financial trail that an operation such as Epstein’s would have entailed, and who could be aware of all the shady dealings going on in the world every single day. BANKS.

Wyden recommends the DOJ to:

Conduct depositions with bankers responsible for overseeing large accounts transacting with Jeffrey Epstein, particularly relationship managers and their supervisors. Epstein’s accounts routinely had hundreds of millions of dollars in them. Epstein also received large inflows of cash from some of the wealthiest men in America, typically in large installments in the tens of millions of dollars. Ultra-high net worth persons ($30 million and up) benefit from white glove treatment from private bankers who are compensated on a percentage of the value of the accounts they manage. These bankers are also required to conduct “know your customer” reviews on their clients and conduct enhanced due diligence of large wire transfers. Accordingly, DOJ must immediately conduct transcribed interviews with bankers overseeing Epstein’s accounts as well as the wealthy businessmen who helped finance his operations.
