4,725 wire transfers in just one of Epsteins financial accounts.
Find out who sent the money in, and who received money going out.
This is exactly what Republicans will not allow to happen.
Two theories I have speculated about in this forum are that the orange Cheeto was part of the Epstein network through a modeling agency and a teen pagent.
The other theory? A Supreme Court members involvement - which looks like its Thomas. Havent heard much from Ginny lately.

(777 posts)A demagogue uses folks on the left hand side of the mental health bell curve to threaten and intimidate:
House and Senate members during the impeachments.
Haitians who eat cats and dogs.
Asian Americans when Cheeto called COVID the China virus.
So called Mexican drug dealers and rapists when Cheeto descended the elevator.
And their violence has spread across America like a cancer.

Famous, powerful, uber rich, royalty.
Epstein was a big part of it. Trump gladly joined in.
Change my mind.
Oh and who was Epstein and Maxwell working for?
And while I'm speculating, perhaps a few justices- Several senators and congress person.
Remember when the criminal regime met Pooty in Alaska and it was obvious
that after the meeting that the staff was shaken. Came out of the room looking pale and gray.
Just what did Pooty show them?

(34,703 posts)There's a good chance that, even if a Senator or Congressman isn't involved, their cash cows were, and need protecting.
I wonder if Pooty Poot has videos of those Republican cocaine orgies of which Madison Cawthorn spilled the beans.

(93 posts)Basically, Trump was Epstein's Pimp. He was sending girls to Epstein's place for "massages." Steve Siebold recently suggested that journalists check out Trump's pageants and to speak with former hosts Billy Bush and Nancy O'Dell. I just wonder that maybe he was pimping out pageant girls to his rich buddies.
This is all a hunch, but from what I've read, it kinda makes sense.

(12,612 posts)Was in the Epstein files. Anita Hill proved that he was a creep. He likes to pal around with rich, powerful men. I'm sure that he enjoyed the pleasures that Epstein provided more than once.
My other bet is that he joined Antonin Scalia there.

(23,724 posts)Epstein was an investment fund manager, money was moving in and out of his accounts all the time. The children he kept around weren't a source of income for him, he treated them more like party favors to offer to his guests. these people are billionaires, there was no money in girls for them, it was just recreation.
But he and Trump had a special relationship where they both preyed on each other's young girls.

(332 posts)Ventures, especially trafficking internationally: minors; drugs; weapons; US National Security secrets; whatever. Doesn't matter to TSF.
Add blackmail and extortion of his fellow criminals (say, a SCOTUS Justice or a Royal Prince).
He says "National Security" when he means Pay Mob Protection or Else. Nice little Greenland/Ukraine/Argentina/Oil Company ya got there. Shame if something happened to it.
Trump grew up in a Mob-controlled environment with his old man. He added the Malignant Narcissistic Psychopathy all on his own.
P S. He must chortle when he hears the insult "he even bankrupted casinos"---when such planned takeovers leading to bankruptcies are classic Mob actions. Take the profit, leave the dried husk.

(80,150 posts)It is safe to assume that Trump was a big part of the child sex ring.
There were huge amounts of money coming in. He would have wanted a cut of the action.
Trump provided the teens through the pageants, MAL, modeling agencies, etc.
Oh yes clients were the top power and money elite.
Courts, congress, industry etc.
Powerful men raping children and other powerful men covering it all up.

(40,389 posts)If the transfers happened in the 1980's and 90s, it might be money paid to Chump for whatever reason. If the transfers happened in the early aughts' (2001 - 10) or later, they might be to a judge or someone else, as you suggest. But that's only if the transfers happened inside the US. There's no way to know about any of this until the Dept. of Treasury releases its info.
Epstein had a lot of wire transfers with Soviet/Russian banks, presumably he was doing business with Putin and oligarchs making foreign investments etc. Putin made it possible for certain "friends" to steal money by plundering Russia's natural resources. They had to hide their profits outside of Russia via Swiss banks and also by investing in foreign stocks, properties, etc. Putin was normally paid half the profits from each of those oligarchs, and it made him enormously wealthy. Any oligarch that failed to pay Putin usually had an unfortunate fall from a 10th-story window.
Epstein was probably one of several American brokers who were quite happy to handle the Russian transactions on the hush-hush. Another thought is that Epstein's contacts with Russian oligarchs explains why they invested so heavily in Chump's condos in New York, Miami Beach and elsewhere. Could the wire transfers actually be kickbacks to or from Chump for the condo sales? ... that's a good question.
