New York Magazine has a very interesting article up quoting various hedge fund people saying that it is basically impossible that Jeffrey Epstein was secretly running a hedge fund and that it is much more likely he was running a blackmail ring disguised as a hedge fund.
The media is getting dangerously close to outright saying that Epstein was a Mossad spy.
Long before Jeffrey Epstein pleaded guilty to prostitution charges in Florida more than a decade ago, his fellow Palm Beach resident and hedge-fund manager Douglas Kass was intrigued by the local gossip about his neighbor.
“I’m hearing about the parties, hearing about a guy who’s throwing money around,” says Kass, president of Seabreeze Partners Management. While stories about young girls swarming Epstein’s waterfront mansion and the sex parties he hosted for the rich and powerful were the talk of the town, Kass was more focused on how this obscure person, rumored to be managing billions of dollars, had become so wealthy without much of a track record.
Kass was well-connected on Wall Street, where he’d worked for decades, so he began to ask around. “I went to my institutional brokers, to their trading desks and asked if they ever traded with him. I did it a few times until the date when he was arrested,” he recalls. “Not one institutional trading desk, primary or secondary, had ever traded with Epstein’s firm.”
When a reporter came to interview Kass about Bernie Madoff shortly before that firm blew up in the biggest Ponzi scheme ever, Kass told her, “There’s another guy who reminds me of Madoff that no one trades with.” That man was Jeffrey Epstein.
“How did he get the money?” Kass kept asking.
For decades, Epstein has been credulously described as a big-time hedge-fund manager and a billionaire, even though there’s not a lot of evidence that he is either.
…
Intelligencer spoke to several prominent hedge-fund managers to get a read on what their practiced eyes are detecting in all the new information that is coming to light about Epstein in the wake of his indictment by federal prosecutors in New York. Most saw signs of something unsavory at the heart of his business model.
To begin with, there is much skepticism among the hedgies Intelligencer spoke with that Epstein made the money he has — and he appears to have a lot, given a lavish portfolio of homes and private aircraft — as a traditional money manager. A fund manager who knows well how that kind of fortune is acquired notes, “It’s hard to make a billion dollars quietly.” Epstein never made a peep in the financial world.
Epstein was also missing another key element of a typical thriving hedge fund: investors. Kass couldn’t find any beyond Epstein’s one well-publicized client, retail magnate Les Wexner — nor could other players in the hedge-fund world who undertook similar snooping. “I don’t know anyone who’s ever invested in him; he’s never talked about by any of the allocators,” says one billionaire hedge-fund manager, referring to firms that distribute large pools of money among various funds.
Epstein’s spotty professional history has also drawn a lot of attention in recent days, and Kass says it was one of the first things that raised his suspicions years ago. Now 66, Epstein didn’t come from money and never graduated from college, yet he landed a teaching job at a fancy private school (“unheard of,” says Kass) and rose through the ranks in the early 1980s at investment bank Bear Stearns. Within no time, Kass notes, Epstein was made a partner of the firm — and then was promptly and unceremoniously ousted. (Epstein reportedly left the firm following a minor securities violation.) Despite this “squishy work experience,” as Kass puts it, at some point after his quick exit, Epstein launched his own hedge fund, J. Epstein & Co., later renamed Financial Trust Co. Along the way, he began peddling the improbable narrative that he was so selective he would only work with billionaires.
Oddly, Epstein also claimed to do all the investing by himself while his 150 employees all worked in the back office — which Kass says reminds him of Madoff’s cover story. Though it now appears that Epstein had many fewer employees than he claimed, according to the New York Times.
…
Given this puzzling set of data points, the hedge-fund managers we spoke to leaned toward the theory that Epstein was running a blackmail scheme under the cover of a hedge fund.
How such a scheme could hypothetically work has been laid out in detail in a thread on the anonymous Twitter feed of @quantian1. It’s worth reading in its entirety, but in summary it is a rough blueprint for how a devious aspiring hedge-fund manager could blackmail rich people into investing with him without raising too many flags.
Kass and former hedge-fund manager Whitney Tilson both emailed the thread around in investing circles and both quickly discovered that their colleagues found it quite convincing. “This actually sounds very plausible,” Tilson wrote in an email forwarding the thread to others.
“He somehow cajoled these guys to invest,” says Kass, speaking of hypothetical blackmailed investors who gave Epstein their money to invest, but managed to keep their names private.
The fact that Epstein’s fund is offshore in a tax haven — it is based in the U.S. Virgin Islands — and has a secret client list both add credence to the blackmail theory.
So what did Epstein do with the money he did have under his management, setting aside the questions of how he got it and how much he had? One hedge-fund manager speculates that Epstein could have just put the client money in an S&P 500 index fund, perhaps with a tax dodge thrown in. “I put in $100 million, I get the S&P 500 minus some fees,” he says, speaking of a theoretical client’s experience. Over the past few decades, the client would have “made a shitload” — as would Epstein. A structure like that wouldn’t have required trading desks or analysts or complex regulatory disclosures.
Kass has kicked around a similar idea: Maybe Epstein just put all the client money in U.S. treasuries — the simplest and safest investment there is, and the kind of thing one guy actually can do by himself.
If the blackmail theory sounds far-fetched, it’s worth keeping in mind that it was also floated by one of Epstein’s victims, Virginia Roberts Giuffre. “Epstein … also got girls for Epstein’s friends and acquaintances. Epstein specifically told me that the reason for him doing this was so that they would ‘owe him,’ they would ‘be in his pocket,’ and he would ‘have something on them,’” she said in a court affidavit, according to the investigative series in the Miami Herald that brought the case back to the public’s attention late last year.
In the 2015 filing, Giuffre claimed that Epstein “debriefed her” after she was forced into sexual encounters so that he could possess “intimate and potentially embarrassing information” to blackmail friends into parking their money with him. She also said photographic and video evidence existed — an assertion that looms especially large now that federal investigators have found a trove of images in Epstein’s home safe.
We should note that Kass is clearly Jewish (it’s a German last name meaning “shrewd person” that is used almost exclusively by Jews).
The article itself is written by Michelle Celarier, who also appears to be Jewish.
I think that the point of this is to offer an explanation that sort of explains what is going on here without implicating the Jews as a whole.
The Twitter thread they link to about the blackmail theory has this note at the bottom:
There’s no need to invoke the Mafia/Russia/Mossad/CIA/etc, that’s just needlessly overfitting.
However, I completely disagree with that, based on the theory itself, for a number of reasons.
If he was doing the blackmail to make money, then where is the money?
There is no evidence he actually has any money. All there is evidence of is that he has property, the most expensive piece of which, a $70 million mansion in Manhattan, was given to him for free by a Jew from Columbus, Ohio, Les Wexner.
Why did Wexner give him this mansion, if all he was going to do with it is run a blackmail scheme that only produced a couple hundred million dollars? Les Wexner owns Victoria’s Secret and several other brands, and owns the better part of the city of Columbus. Why would he get involved with a weird underage sex blackmail scheme with a random unemployed teacher from New York City?
The only context in which that makes sense is if Epstein was doing something that was in his interest, and the only apparent overlapping interest they have is Jewishness.
Leslie Wexner is himself deeply involved with the Jewish community and with the State of Israel.
Wexner is one of the top leaders in the entire diaspora in America that organizes along explicitly Jewish lines.
He runs the Wexner Foundation, which focuses on both Jewish rule in America and training Jews in Israel.
The Wexner Foundation focuses on the development of Jewish professional and volunteer leaders in North America and public leaders in Israel. Founded by Leslie Wexner, CEO of Limited Brands and his wife, Abigail Wexner the headquarters are located in New Albany, Ohio with additional offices in New York City and in Jerusalem. In addition to the core leadership programs, the Wexner Foundation supports other Jewish charities on a local, national, and international level.
Furthermore, are we actually supposed to believe that if Epstein was blackmailing people for money to put into a fake hedge fund in order to gain a personal profit, he would focus his efforts on politicians?
And if we do accept the premise that Epstein was just trying to make money for himself, surely we also have to accept that the blackmail material he was gathering was worth a lot more than the politicians themselves could give him. For example, a video of Bill Clinton having sex with an underage girl is worth a lot more than Bill Clinton is able to pay out for hush-money. So if Epstein was all about fueling his fake hedge fund, he would also be selling this blackmail material.
And given his connections to Wexner and the fact that his assistant, who also is alleged to have played the role of recruiting underage girls for the sex ring, is the daughter of a Mossad spy, it seems that the most obvious entity for him to be transferring this blackmail material to would be the Mossad.
It was also recently revealed that former Israel Prime Minister Ehud Barak met with Epstein “at least ten times.” He says he never slept with any underage girls, and that seems likely true. They have plenty of Eastern European sex slaves in Israel. He would have other things to do in meetings with Epstein.
It seems to me that we’re now at the point where “Mossad agent” is simply the Occam’s Razor explanation for what Epstein was up to. There is no other explanation that even comes close to explaining what he was doing with his fake hedge fund, free houses from Israel-linked Jews, underage sex parties, blackmail videos and protection from prosecution by the FBI and Justice Department.
I hope that the media will start exploring this obvious fact. Though I will not be holding my breath.
Vanity Fair, however, while reporting on the “fake hedge fund blackmail scheme” theory, did give a nod to people thinking he’s Mossad:
In the absence of much other information, the reigning theory on Wall Street currently is that Epstein’s activities with women and girls were central to the building of his fortune, and his relations with some of his investors essentially amounted to blackmail.
Similarly, DC is on edge. “Epstein bragged about his contacts in Washington,” Boies said. Reporters are likely to dig into why the Justice Department decided not to prosecute Epstein and kept the deal secret from his victims. One theory circulating among prominent Republicans is that Epstein was a Mossad agent.
So, who knows.
Maybe this will all go exactly where we want it to go.
