Larry Kudlow, Bear Stearns, Jeffrey Epstein, Donald Trump, JP Morgan...

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.

1. It's much easier for people who think they are entitled to cover up their crimes

Those of us who have a conscience find it difficult

2. Indeed....

...and they are very good at covering it up.

3. It is a fact that well known banks were involved with Epstein.

Loaning, giving, laundering huge amounts of money.

Why?

Only so many answers to this question.

4. I recall IIRC crimes or irregularities associated with NYC finance reported on CNBC

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.

5. In my opinion...

The money laundering and the child sex rings are all united and Donald Trump is up to his eyeballs in both.

6. Sorry, I didn't mean to get off track on the OP thread

It was just a comment in a general sense that upscale crime is treated differently.

8. I think that is a big part of the story.

The criminal justice system was set up for the little guy.

7. I saw a report a while ago that Epstein thought Trump was money laundering...

...and that Trump ratted on him for his sex crimes before he could rat on Trump for money laundering, after Trump stabbed him in the back and bought that property in WPB.
