the jeffrey epstein memorial poll and conspiracy-mongering thread

At Financial Trust, a company with fewer than a dozen employees, investment expenses varied widely, from $1.3 million in 2000 to $16 million in 2004 to $42 million in 2005. In 2006 — the year Mr. Epstein was charged in Florida — Financial Trust pushed $117 million into an unnamed subsidiary whose purpose was undisclosed. The subsidiary was apparently transferred to Southern Trust in 2013, and by the end of 2017 the subsidiary accounted for more than half of the company’s $391 million in assets. The filings also disclose that Southern Trust received a $30.5 million loan that same year, but don’t say who provided it.

One thing the financial statements make clear: Mr. Epstein paid himself handsomely. He pocketed $400 million in dividends and other payments from the companies starting in 1999 — the first full year after he moved his operations to the Virgin Islands from New York.

The opacity of Mr. Epstein’s financial dealings has been a perplexing issue since he was arrested in July on federal charges of sex trafficking with underage girls. Although the criminal case against him closed after he committed suicide in federal custody in August, Mr. Epstein’s finances remain an important matter for women who are suing his estate claiming they were among his victims.

Incredibly rich people are always looking for ways to grow their fortunes, and Epstein probably was investing a little and playing a shell game with the rest, right? Probably another case where someone could have thrown cash in an index fund and come out ahead, instead they’re behind or get a pittance so their buddy gets to jet around and buy islands

*nods sagely* yes, this checks out 100%, we've all flown around the world to break off a friendship with someone, while surrounded by teenage girls who were also there for some reason

the obligations on royalty are extremely onerous.

friendship ended with JEFFREY

"Believe me, this is hurting me as much as it's hurting you."

listen we had great times at the teen sex parties but those days are over now

He even compared him to Jimmy Savile, a BBC TV and radio star who after his death was revealed to have raped and sexually assaulted hundreds of victims

Copyeditors at the Post don’t know how to spell “before”

In the spirit of the title: Chrissy Teigen making a heartfelt complaint about being targeted by Qanon/Pizzagate nut jobs - and the first 100 comments being "MJ was innocent!" nut jobs, which I didn't realise was even a thing, let alone a thing fixated in John Legend.

u know what is not great? I still have to read on social media many times a day that John and I are pedophiles and look at photoshopped/miscaptioned photos of us on "Epstein Island" and I just have to deal with it because "people are crazy these days"

There are various people who post on this site who have posted here to the effect that they dont think mj was guilty

when he died, one young woman in the office expected everyone to be shaken up, and ended up crying more because she was startled to find most of us believed he was a serial predator

I don't think that's an unreasonable position to have taken 10 years ago - but the tweet above is from Oct 22, 2019.

xp thought you meant Epstein for a sec there

lol, same

Breaking: Jeffrey Epstein’s autopsy ‘points to homicide,’ pathologist claims https://t.co/Nlb9Sd9tnN

apparently said pathologist is not particularly reliable. still, noteworthy that the NYT is going back to the well.

in other news HBO is moving ahead with an Epstein miniseries by Adam McKay which is maybe the single worst idea I've heard all year

First Prince Philip offs Diana, now Jeffrey Epstein.

alright lyndon larouche

He's got some strength in those bony hands though.

Can't wait for this to become Serial S4

didn't we hear about this from this pathologist some time ago? the coverage of this is so weird. and whatever happened to ghislane, we're just gonna settle on a doctored photo of her at an in-n-out burger as enough here?

She’s apparently in Brazil with Jean Luc Brunel.

that’s it, the stranglers are cancelled

too soon

I think he became a lizard

Welp!

literally just came here to post that

incredible

I, too, am whooping and hollering

the obsession with this conspiracy among the right wing is unbelivable to me. I peek in on my insane trump loving family's FB feeds and they're still posting about this every day.

Lefties are too

The funny/sad part is that a good chunk of these people think Trump is secretly fighting the pedo cabal. Real pudding-brain shit

I mean, everyone thinking he was whacked thinks it was to keep him silent about sexual exploitation and the dirt he’d have on some sort of cabal

whether he was also a cia asset, not sure if that’s a universally gossiped-about part

the cia has been involved in so much deeply shady, stupid shit that practically anything you accuse them of doing will have an air of probability. some of their confirmed operations have been completely Poe's Law stuff, beyond self-parody.

"epstein didn't kill himself" gonna be the new baba booey huh

More like the "how is babby formed"

how is class solidarity formed
