       Jeffrey Epstein
       By: Kerry Date: July 13, 2019, 5:24 pm
       ---------------------------------------------------------
       There's so much going on about Epstein, I thought I'd start a
       thread.  Now we find out there was a  connection between him and
       Attorney General Barr's father.

       In recent days, former teachers and alumni from The Dalton
       School in New York City have been reconnecting via long group
       email chains and Facebook comments to discuss memories of the
       infamous financier Jeffrey Epstein. Epstein, who was charged
       with the sex trafficking of minors on Monday, worked as an
       educator at the private school for two years, teaching math and
       science to students who were just a few years younger than he
       was at the time, according to The New York Times.
       In conversations with 15 former Dalton students, parents and
       teachers, HuffPost learned that some are reconciling the fond or
       amusing memories they have of Epstein with allegations of
       monstrous misconduct. Others recall seeing red flags in
       Epstein’s behavior, even as teenagers. Some are using the
       present moment to reconsider certain memories of their alma
       mater, where sexual student-faculty relationships were
       occasionally an open secret at a time when the Me Too reckoning
       was still decades away.
       And many are in awe that their former headmaster Donald Barr
       ― a man who was known for being strict, polarizing and
       conservative ― is suddenly a relevant part of Epstein’s
       story, too. Barr, Dalton’s headmaster throughout the late ’60s
       until the mid-’70s, is the father of Attorney General William
       Barr. As the nation’s highest law enforcement officer, William
       Barr oversees the office that is prosecuting Epstein.
       “The joke has been this is the Epstein-Barr problem at Dalton,”
       said Harry Segal, a senior lecturer at Cornell University and
       Weill Cornell Medical College who graduated from Dalton in 1974.
       The Epstein-Barr virus, which is a type of herpes that can cause
       mono, coincidentally contains the name of the men at the center
       of Dalton’s latest controversy.
       Karin Williams, who left Dalton before her junior year in 1976,
       never had Epstein as a teacher. But she can still picture him
       clearly in the hallways of Dalton, standing by the school
       elevators, often surrounded by a gaggle of female students, with
       whom he seemed to have flirtations, she said.

       The Smoking Gun

       />has an article about one of Epstein's accusers known as "Jane
       Doe."  I did not read all the lurid details; but I read this
       with interest.
       Doe spent more time with Epstein than any other teenage victim
       during the 2002-2005 period cited in the indictment.
       In fact, she seemed to be a replacement of sorts for Virginia
       Roberts Giuffre, who fled from Epstein in late-2002 when she was
       19. Giuffre alleges that she began engaging in sexual activity
       with Epstein when she was 15, and would eventually become his
       “sex slave” and get pimped out to the mogul’s friends and
       business associates, like lawyer Alan Dershowitz and Prince
       Andrew (both of whom deny her claims). Giuffre, a Josefsberg
       client, was initially identified as “Jane Doe 102” in civil
       litigation, but she subsequently shed her anonymity in news
       interviews.
       They have a photo of her with Prince Andrew.   Whatever details
       may be true or false,  we know the two of them met.

       So Jeffrey Epstein isn't as rich as he just convinced people he
       was?  He sounds like Donald Trump and Wilbur Ross.

       Convicted sex offender Jeffrey Epstein is hardly a billionaire,
       according to the financial disclosure form his lawyers filed in
       seeking bail for him.
       The single-page document had been kept under seal away from the
       public until the Manhattan federal judge overseeing Epstein’s
       sex-trafficking case released it Monday, dismissing it as
       “cursory.”
       Epstein lists in the filing that he has:
       Cash: $56,547,773
       Fixed income: $14,304,679
       Equities: $112,679,138
       Hedge funds and private equity: $194,986,301
       Properties including: 9 E. 71st St., Manhattan, worth
       $55,931,000; 49 Zorro Ranch Road, Stanley, NM, $17,246,208; 358
       El Brillo Way, Palm Beach, Fla., $12,380,209; 22 Avenue Foch,
       Paris, France, $8,672,823; Great St. James Island in the Virgin
       Islands, $22,498,600, and Little St. James Island, also there,
       $63,874,223.
       The total assets listed are $559,120,954.
       That's assets he  listed.  What if he owes money on those
       properties?

       He probably has a lot of money hidden away in other places like
       the Cayman Islands. I hear that's a popular place where
       billionaires hide their money although not the only place.

       I found a video with her talking about this. It's interesting
       how she was working at Mar-a-Lago when she was recruited by
       Ghislaine Maxwell to be a masseuse to Palm Beach hedge fund
       manager Jeffrey Epstein.

       scratching the surface.
       [/quote]It seems to be getting deeper almost every day.
       Epstein's reaction helped make it deeper when he tried to bribe
       and intimidate witnesses.    Bribery and threats may have worked
       for him in the past; but they make things worse when brought out
       in the light of day.
       In one case, he wired $250,000 to a potential witness in the
       case.  Why not cash?  Cash would have been smarter, and he had
       lots of cash lying about; but he wired the money.  Banks report
       all transactions over a certain amount.
  HTML https://nypost.com/2019/07/12/jeffrey-epstein-spent-350k-to-influence-potential-witnesses-feds/
       The money — $250,000 in one case and $100,000 in the other — was
       secretly funneled to the potential witnesses, identified in the
       documents as “possible co-conspirator[ s],’’ at around the same
       time the Miami Herald unleashed a series of exposés about the
       perverted financier, the feds said.
       The person who was wired the $250,000 was identified as “one of
       the defendant’s employees.”
       “Neither of these payments appears to be recurring or repeating
       during the approximately five years of bank records available to
       the government,’’ the documents said.
       “This course of action, and in particular its timing, suggests
       the defendant was attempting to further influence
       co-conspirators who might provide information against him.’’
       The case involving $100,000 looks to have been made in cash; and
       my guess is the person who received it is talking.
       The prosecutors cite a police report from Palm Beach County,
       Fla., that states that an associate of Epstein tracked down the
       young woman while she was home from college on spring break,
       telling her that Epstein would pay for her silence.
       The Epstein associate told the girl, “Those who help him will be
       compensated and those who hurt him will be dealt with,”
       ­according to the police ­report.
       In another Palm Beach police report, one of Epstein’s victims
       told police that he had hired private investigators who were
       terrorizing her family — in one case driving one of her parents
       off the road during a car pursuit.
       I hope the private investigators get named and prosecuted.
       There's lots of things they could be charged with.

       [/quote]It's very possible.  I'm sure prosecutors are looking
       into it since he could have been using offshore accounts to
       laundry money and avoid taxes.

       />
       Jeffrey Epstein informed President Trump of a real estate
       purchase he planned to make in Palm Beach back in 2004 claims
       Michael Wolff
       He was trying to determine if he could move the pool on the
       property which he was prepared to bid $36 million for and then
       flip
       Epstein, 66, was not afraid of letting Trump know this because
       he assumed he did not have the money to purchase the property
       Trump got the money from Deutsche Bank and bid $5 million more
       than Epstein before putting the home on the market for $125
       million after renovations
       Epstein threatened to expose Trump claims Wolff and in turn he
       suggests that Trump outed Epstein to police and helped launch
       the 2005 criminal probe
       The property sold for $96 million to Dmitry Rybolovlev and in
       2016 was torn down and made into three lots, that each sold for
       over $30 million
