28. The dates of the wire transfers might give us a clue
Thu Jan 15, 2026, 07:54 AM
Thursday

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.
