Jeffrey Epstein And Liquid Limited (5/26/26) · The Vault: The Epstein Files

0:00
Speaker 1: Last night we were talking about Jeffrey Epstein and tax
0:05
havens and how Jeffrey Epstein would use those sorts of
0:09
tax havens to set up the shell companies and then
0:13
from those shell companies move the money around to wherever
0:17
it was needed to make sure that his criminal enterprise
0:21
continues to run smoothly. Well, today we have another article
0:27
from the International Consortium of Investigative Journalists that talks about
0:31
Jeffrey Epstein specifically and how his fortune.
0:37
Speaker 2: Was traced to the Paradise Papers.
0:40
Speaker 1: Now, we've talked a lot about the Fins and Files
0:44
as of late here, but we're going to start moving
0:46
into the Paradise Papers as well. This first article today
0:51
is going to talk a little bit about Jeffrey Epstein
0:54
and his fortune and how it ties into the Paradise Papers.
0:59
But some of the the other articles were going to
1:02
go over in the next few days are going to
1:05
give you an overview about the Paradise Papers, and then
1:09
we'll talk about how that ties in to our case overall.
1:14
But this article this morning is a good way to
1:18
dip our toes into it, right. You know, Look, Jeffrey
1:22
Epstein was obviously engaging in a supreme amount of financial fraud,
1:30
and he was not the only one.
1:32
Speaker 2: Obviously.
1:35
Speaker 1: What the Paradise papers, what the Padama papers, what the
1:40
fens and files, what they have all shown us is
1:44
a real long look behind the curtain at what these
1:49
people do and how they conduct themselves. And I'm just
1:53
speaking about financially, never mind the draconian way they conduct
1:58
themselves privately. We've seen plenty of that as well, But
2:03
from just the financial aspect, it is very apparent that
2:08
Jeffrey Epstein and his criminal enterprise was fully engaged in
2:16
an epic amount of money laundering and financial fraud. Like
2:23
I said, this article is from the International Consortium of
2:26
Investigative Journalists. The author of this journalist excuse me. The
2:32
author of this article is Spencer Woodman. Headline Jeffrey Epstein's
2:38
offshore fortune traced to Paradise Papers. Fresh revelations from ICIJ
2:45
investigations raised the likelihood that sex offender Jeffrey Epstein cloaked
2:50
his fortune in a series of offshore shell companies registered notoriously
2:55
secretive tax havens. Now you see how it's all tying
3:01
in here right Yesterday we talked about those tax havens,
3:05
and now this morning we're diving right back in and
3:10
talking about how Jeffrey Epstein's companies were set up in
3:15
these places that are considered tax havens, and it was
3:19
all done with a purpose, right. Nothing Jeffrey Epstein ever
3:23
did was just off the cuff. The man was a
3:27
lot of things, but they surely had a plan, and
3:31
they stuck to their plan, and they were successful with
3:37
their criminal behavior for decades. And Jeffrey Epstein, Darren Endyke,
3:47
con Gilain Maxwell, their fingerprints are all over these shell companies.
3:54
Their fingerprints are all over these financial crimes. Question is
4:01
are the authorities going to make them pay?
4:06
Speaker 2: Because we have.
4:08
Speaker 1: Seen time and time again these people that inhabit the
4:13
financial sector, these people that are bankers, these people that
4:17
are huge businessmen or business women, they always find a
4:22
way to skate out of trouble. But if they really
4:28
are going after Jeffrey Epstein and they're really going to
4:31
hit his finances hard, I don't see an out for
4:34
these people this time around. Because it's quite obvious that
4:42
at the very least Indike and Khan have intimate knowledge
4:48
of all of these financial transactions, especially Indike considering his
4:53
signature is all over this stuff.
4:58
Speaker 2: And this was right in his wheel what he was
5:00
supposed to do.
5:02
Speaker 1: So again, how are Con and Indyke still executors of
5:08
the estate. They need to be prosecuted in my opinion,
5:13
and prosecuted hard, because Indyke and Khan, even if they
5:18
weren't involved in the actual abuse of the girls, were
5:22
key factors in setting up the financial set, the financial
5:26
portion of this and making sure that it went off
5:29
without a hitch. So when we talk about these offshore companies,
5:35
and we talk about these shell companies and we talk
5:38
about money laundering, there is no doubt in my mind
5:41
that Darren Endyke should be wrapped up in this and
5:45
should definitely be facing the heat now. Denise George is
5:49
turning up the heat a bit on them down there
5:51
in the Virgin Islands. But I'd really like to see
5:54
the SDN Y get their shit together and really start
5:58
going hard here too. This article was published on July
6:04
eighteenth of two thousand and nineteen. Fresh revelations raised the
6:11
likelihood that sex offender Jeffrey Epstein cloaked his fortune in
6:16
a series of offshore shell companies registered notoriously secretive tax havens.
6:22
Speaker 2: Yeah, there's no doubt. I mean even all the way
6:26
back then.
6:26
Speaker 1: If we go back to July of twenty nineteen, right
6:30
before I've read after his arrest, et cetera, et cetera,
6:34
it was obvious that Epstein was engaging in some financial scumbaggery.
6:40
Right just a cursory glance of what he was up
6:42
to could tell you that there was a reason he
6:45
was based down in the Virgin Islands, there was a
6:47
reason all of these shell companies were put together, and
6:50
there was a reason that Jeffrey Epstein and his associates
6:55
tried to keep it all secret. So that was very
6:58
apparent from the very beginning. What wasn't so apparent was
7:01
how deep all of these ties ran, and just how
7:05
many connections and how many relationships professional and otherwise Jeffrey
7:11
Epstein had with some of the most powerful people in
7:14
the world. We're talking presidents, business magnets, magnates, we're talking
7:20
you name it. And these are the kind of people
7:22
that Jeffrey Epstein had in his pocket. The wealthy financier
7:28
pedophile accused of systematically assaulting and trafficking numerous underage girls,
7:34
tried this week to convince a federal judge in New
7:37
York to allow him to go free on Bell partially
7:40
by detailing his fortune for the court. Well, we all
7:44
know how that turned out, right. We know that the
7:46
court wasn't having it. We know that the court knew
7:49
that Epstein was a flight risk, and the court knew
7:55
that Epstein had much more money than he was letting
7:57
on at the very least the prosecutor suspected it. So
8:03
Jeffrey Epstein his plan was to detail all of this
8:09
great amount of wealth that he has and then use
8:12
that wealth once again as a way for him to
8:16
avoid being in jail while he awaited trial. Right, he'd
8:19
put up all these properties and this, that the other thing,
8:23
and say, well, I'm putting up all of these millions
8:25
of dollars. I'm not gonna run anywhere, and more times
8:29
than not, that shit it works, right, But it didn't
8:32
work in this case. And a lot of that had
8:35
to do with the fact that the court wasn't really
8:39
sure how much money Jeffrey Epstein really had. This guy
8:45
has money buried in treasure chests all over the place,
8:49
would be my guess he was, folks. I can't stress
8:52
this enough. The amount of fraudulent financial transactions that were
9:00
taking place with Jeffrey Epstein is absurdly high, and all
9:09
of those people that were receiving money from him or
9:11
sending him money are all now part of the criminal
9:15
conspiracy if this case is pursued the correct way. This
9:24
request was rejected today, but the revelation of documents by
9:28
the International Consortium of Investigative Journalist partners McClatchy and The
9:33
Miami Herald underscores the challenge the courts will face as
9:37
his case proceeds. So, yeah, it's really it was a mystery,
9:46
right his money. Tracing down his money is was and
9:50
always is going to be a difficult proposition. Jeffrey Epstein
9:55
wasn't fantastic at many things in life. He certainly was
9:58
fantastic though, finding ways to stash money and hide money,
10:05
and he did it perfectly. Do you what do you
10:07
think Leon Black was just having him hold his money
10:12
just because, or Less Wexner was having him hold his
10:14
money just because, or le Bette Johnson was just having
10:18
him hold his money, you know, because they just they're
10:20
nice and they just wanted someone else to have their
10:22
hands on it. Hell no, there was a reason Jeffrey
10:25
Epstein was managing their money, and it wasn't because he
10:28
was some sort of whiz. The man knew how to
10:33
avoid taxes, The man knew how to hide money, and
10:36
he certainly knew how to act like an absolute scumbag.
10:44
The most extensive document, amounting to five hundred pages, detailing
10:48
the activities of an Epstein offshore vehicle, comes from the
10:51
Paradise Papers trove millions of files leaked from the Bermuda
10:55
founded offshore services provider Applebee. Now, remember I was talking
11:01
about the Paradise Papers and the Panama Papers and how
11:06
all roads lead to Jeffrey Epstein when it comes to
11:11
these financial crimes, and the fact that he had all
11:15
of these shell companies, all of these places that were
11:18
established in these tax havens, it just obviously adds up. Right,
11:24
there is a put it this way, There is plenty
11:26
of circumstantial evidence, enough for probable cause to make an arrest.
11:30
Right if you were a cop and you were putting
11:32
this all together, certainly enough probable cause to bring somebody in.
11:38
But yet Epstein was continuously let off the hook, and
11:44
he was continuously provided cover to keep on doing what
11:52
he was doing for decades, And it would not have
11:58
taken much for these investigators to really go harden the
12:02
paint and to really step on the gas all the
12:05
way back in two thousand and seven and figure out
12:08
all of this financial douche baggery. But they were way
12:12
too busy trying to cut their boy a sweetheart deal.
12:18
The files reportedly show that by the mid two thousands,
12:21
Epstein's firm had joined our roster of the world's wealthiest
12:25
people and corporations in working with Appleby, and therefore gaining
12:29
a skilled group of experts to help it navigate the
12:33
secretive and low tax world of offshore finance. The new
12:37
report states, and we talked about Appleby yesterday morning when
12:42
we were talking about excuse me last night, when we
12:44
were talking about the tax havens and what Appleby's role was.
12:49
And of course lo and behold, Epstein was involved with
12:53
Appleby as well, any lever of power, any sort of
13:00
gummy financial situation.
13:03
Speaker 2: You can be sure of one thing.
13:05
Speaker 1: Jeffrey Epstein's name can be found somewhere in the documents.
13:13
From at least two thousand to two thousand and seven,
13:15
Epstein shared a company registered in Bermuda called Liquid Funding Limited.
13:20
This entity was partially owned by the investment bank bear Stearns,
13:24
where Epstein had worked. According to the report, the banks
13:28
collapse would help set in motion the two thousand and
13:31
eight financial crisis. Yeah, you know, the too big defail
13:35
financial crisis, where none of these banksters went to prison,
13:38
none of Jeffrey Epstein's best friends had to deal with consequences. Meanwhile,
13:43
all of us had our four oh one ks wiped out,
13:47
lost homes, people were on the brink, people were, you know,
13:51
really up against it. But the bankers not too big
13:53
to fail, bro give them their tart money, give them
13:56
their bell out money, screw the rest of us. And
13:59
when we do that and we bail these people out,
14:01
and we give these banksters favorable terms, Remember we're giving
14:05
Jeffrey Epstein's key enablers, the top people who help him
14:10
facilitate all of this through the financial sector. Well, we're
14:14
giving them the good stuff. And those are the real
14:21
people who are all problem folks in my opinion, these banksters,
14:27
these people who work in the too big to Fail world.
14:30
And I don't mean the day to day workers, right,
14:33
I never mean the frontline people. I'm talking about the bureaucrats,
14:36
the bosses, the shit birds. Epstein's offshore company was loaded
14:44
up with some of the financial products like mortgage backed
14:47
securities and collateralized loan obligations that would become synonymous with
14:53
the financial excess leading to the financial crisis.
14:57
Speaker 2: Of course he was he was locked.
14:59
Speaker 1: Into all that stuff, mortgage backed securities, collateralized loan obligations.
15:05
That's basically you know, the way that these guys were
15:09
running things, the way that they had things on lock,
15:13
especially at Bears and Sterns, and then when the meltdown came,
15:17
all of this stuff took a huge hit and they
15:20
got clipped big time. According to the Miami Herald and McClatchy,
15:26
liquid Funding had commercial mortgages and investment grade residential mortgages
15:31
bundled into complex securities. And that's what they do as well, right,
15:37
They'll bundle all of this stuff together and they'll put
15:39
it in like these complex security arrangements, and then they'll
15:45
go on with their financial douche baggery like Epstein did.
15:49
Speaker 2: And it's just.
15:52
Speaker 1: Sickening to me that this guy and all of his
15:56
friends are able to continue to do this. Still no
16:01
regulations and still no repercussions for any.
16:04
Speaker 2: Of these people.
16:09
Speaker 1: The three main credit rating agencies Standard and Pores, Fitch Ratings,
16:13
and moody Investor Service all helped Bear Stearns create the
16:17
securities in a way that would allow the creative product
16:21
to get a gold plated Triple A rating. The Miami
16:25
Herald and McClatchy reported, So the credit rating agencies, Standard
16:32
and Pores, Fitch and Moody's, they're all in on the
16:35
take as well. Right, we can't trust any of them,
16:38
just like Experience and the other actual real personal credit
16:42
rating services. Who created that shit, who came up with
16:45
that idea certainly wasn't a poor person, I can promise
16:49
you that much. The task of determining Epstein's wealth has
16:54
been a significant factor in the decision of whether he
16:57
is released for jail pending trial. Yile prosecutor cited Epstein's
17:02
wealth as making him more likely.
17:04
Speaker 2: To flee ahead of a trial date.
17:06
Speaker 1: And there's no doubt Epstein was the kind of guy
17:09
that had the ability to kick rocks and go if
17:13
he wanted to.
17:14
Speaker 2: There's no doubt about it.
17:15
Speaker 1: He had the money, he had the means, he had
17:17
the connections, so there was zero chance he was getting
17:22
out of jail. Just like Glane Maxwell and what made
17:25
Gilan Maxwell even more of a flight risk, obviously, were
17:29
her foreign passports. The Harold and McClatchey reporters were able
17:35
to reach one director, Marcus Klug, listed in the leak
17:39
documents as helping administer Epstein's offshore vehicle. Klug, now a
17:44
member of the governing board of Bunde Pension Scots AG,
17:49
a large Austrian pension fund, confirmed that he was a
17:53
director of an Epstein company when he worked for an
17:56
Austrian insurance company that had invested in Liquid Fund. According
18:01
to The Herald and McClatchy, if it seems confusing, folks,
18:04
that's the point. The whole entire point is for this
18:07
shit to be confusing. They don't want anyone to know
18:10
who owns these companies, who's administering these companies, who's running
18:14
these companies, or who's funding these companies, so they use
18:18
these shell situations in these tax havens, and then they
18:22
make it real damn confusing for you. Liquid was evidently
18:28
a shell company and its directorship duties appeared pro forma.
18:33
There was neither a physical board meeting or call between
18:36
board members, Klug explained to The Herald and McClatchy, adding,
18:40
of Epstein, I never even met him, so right, there
18:45
is another article that talks about how Epstein was involved
18:51
in these sorts of financial crimes that we see in
18:55
the fins and files, we saw in the Paradise papers,
18:58
we saw in the Panama of My papers, and we'll
19:02
continue to see this moving forward when leaks like this occur.
19:05
Because Jeffrey Epstein and people like Jeffrey Epstein the other
19:10
so called elite, believe that they operate with a whole
19:15
different set of rules than you and I. And the
19:18
sad part is for all of these years, that certainly
19:21
has been the case. But from where I'm sitting and
19:26
how I feel about things, and how I think that
19:29
most of you feel, I think that it's time that
19:32
things change and that these people they have to play
19:37
by the same rules as everybody else. And if they
19:40
get caught screwing around, I don't want to hear too
19:44
big to Fail. All I want to hear is how
19:48
many years they're going to be serving in prison. If
