The world of international money laundering?
Larry Kudlow, now a favorite of right-wing media, worked with Bear Stearns until he was forced out in the mid 90's because of his cocaine addiction. He was the chief economist at Bear Stearns until 1994. He worked for Donald Trump in his first regime.
Bear Stearns was sold to JP Morgan when they collapsed in the banking crash of 2008.
They were also connected to many of the financial transactions of Jeffrey Epstein until their collapse. Many suspect that Epstein was into money laundering at the time he was indicted for his sex crimes.
Reports are that a "banker" was in the files of Epstein, according to Congressman Thomas Massie of Kentucky.? It is very possible that he worked for Bear Stearns or JP Morgan Chase?
In my opinion, these were a couple of the main players in money laundering and child sex rings that are now being investigated.
It is amazing how these people are able to keep all this information hidden from the public.

Why?
Only so many answers to this question.

(56,348 posts)There would be a major move up or down in a stock, and they would comment that someone traded large numbers of options contracts the night before, the SEC is looking into it but the investigated in a PO Box address in the Cayman Islands.
There was a murder reported on the radio around that time, some broker strangled in his bathtub. End of story. No followup, never heard anything more.
Maybe it's all hush-hush, maybe once the press finds it's just ordinary people and the sensationalism ebbs they just drop the story.
