And welcome to another episode of the Epstein Chronicles. Now look, I know this is going to shock a lot of you out there, but the DOJ is not playing by the rules. And now we have some confirmation that the Department of Justice wiped bank fraud alerts from the Epstein files and the companies that Epstein owned that kept moving money after his death. Now why would the Justice Department be so worried about that why do they want to move so quickly to get rid of those alerts, to redact those alerts, to make sure the public doesn't know about Epstein's operation. When it comes to all of the financials, that's the part they don't want you to know. That's the part they don't want you asking more questions about, because they understand the jeopardy that puts them in. Whenever you start chasing the bag and you start looking for the money, man, you're putting yourself in a position where you can have some success as a prosecutor. But they've never wanted to do that. They've never had any desire to do that. And it's all by design. There is no other explanation for it. At this point, there's nobody that can explain to me why this money trail wasn't pursued the way it should have been pursued. If he was a regular drug dealer, forget it. They would have showed up with a tank and ripped his mom's wall off and dragged him out of the house. But Jeffrey Epstein. Fuck it. We'll just delete these alerts. We'll just redact everything and we'll make pretend none of it ever happened. And hopefully everybody forgets. That's the plan. And unfortunately, it's been pretty successful. So today we have an article from Raw Story and the headline, DOJ Caught Redacting Files on Epstein Company that Moved Millions after his Death. This article was authored by David Edwards. The Justice Department quietly wiped bank fraud alerts from its Epstein files about Jeffrey Epstein's own company that kept moving millions after his death. A new report shows. Look, we've been talking about these banks and how they mysteriously came alive after his death for years now. I mean, if you really want to get into it and you really want to unfold what happened, the best way to do it is to give everybody a financial colonoscopy. Because once you start pressing people on financials, you know that it's only a matter of time before you find something. Do you really think that all these rich people got there by playing fair? Do you think they all got there by doing the right thing and not destroying people on the way? That's not how it works. These people do not care about the rest of us. When you have the kind of money that Jeffrey Epstein's associates have, when you have the kind of power, the kind of reach, do you think they give one single fuck about you or. Or your kids or your dreams or your happiness? They do not. You're nothing more than chattel to them. Go Fight in a war, go to work every day, do this, do that, but never achieve the same kind of happiness they do, never achieve the same kind of freedom that they do. And that's because we're all stuck on the plantation that they've made. Oh, sure, it's not a plantation like the old days, but it's the plantation nonetheless. And instead of chains, the ties that bind us are financial. The alerts are called Suspicious Activity reports or SARS filings. Banks send to the government when they spot suspicious transactions. And there's been a big problem when it comes to the SARS and Jeffrey Epstein throughout the years. I mean, how are you going to hit Jeffrey Epstein with SARS after he's already dead? Why didn't the company, the banks, do that previously? Well, I'll tell you why. Because when he was alive, they were scared to do it. They were scared of him. And they thought that if they filed those SARs, word would get back to him by whoever was handling his. So they didn't file them. Then afterwards, when they got caught with their pants down, they were like, oh, we better go and file these now, so that later on down the road we can say that we filed them. But I'm not buying their. And I'm not giving them that out. The financial industry, the financial sector, needs to be held accountable. Anybody that was involved, and especially anybody that benefited and profited from his, they have to be held accountable. Now, do I think we're ever going to get to that place? Unfortunately, I do not. Just take a look at the people that are in charge of all of this as far as the Congress and the Senate and how laughable they are. Do you really think that Jeffrey Epstein's people, Leon Black, fear Ro Khanna. Do you think they fear Thomas Massie? Do you think they fear Robert Garcia? They don't fear any of these people. And do you know why? Who do you think pays the bills? We can be as mad at the rich people as we want, but let's keep in mind, they don't write the laws. They put the people in place to write the laws. So we can be mad, and we should be mad at these robber barons, but we should also be mad at the people that set the groundwork and the rules that allow it to happen. And for me, that's why I don't vote for these incumbents. Unless you've done something to make my life better, I'm not voting for you. Sorry. TD bank and Charles Schwab filed them on Southern Country International, an offshore bank Epstein owned in the US Virgin Islands, a Miami Herald investigation has revealed. Well, we knew that already and we talked about it previously. And look, I'm not going to sit here and tell you the Miami Herald hasn't done great work. They have. Julie K. Brown was at the forefront leading the charge. But there was a lot of other people that were on the ground talking about all this stuff for a very long time. And when it comes to the financial aspect of this, unfortunately, a lot of people are playing catch up. The SARs were briefly posted as part of the Epstein files, then pulled and re released completely blank. CBS News and the Herald both reported the Justice Department has not responded to questions about why? Embarrassment. They can't have their bag holders, the people that pay the bills, be embarrassed, now can they? That's reserved for the survivors and for you and I. But them? How dare you even suggest it. According to the Herald, Southern country sat dormant for years, employing no one, which is not how it's supposed to be. Remember, we went through what all the regulations are. You have an offshore bank like that, you have to have employees that are locally based. All of it. But for whatever reason, Jeffrey Epstein, whatever reason, was able to avoid all of that and just do what he wanted. But sure, it's all a big conspiracy theory and dude was acting on his own. In the months before Jeffrey Epstein's July 2019 arrest on federal sex trafficking charges, more than 20 million suddenly flowed through it. Never a logical reasoning why. Nobody ever explained it and nobody ever tracked it. Not one forensic accountant was interested in what was going on. That seems bizarre to me. After Epstein was found dead in his Manhattan jail cell on August 10, another 25 million moved through southern country, with roughly a quarter coming from unknown sources. The Herald reported the company was said to have no employees. So how's it moving? Who was behind the sticks? Who ordered the transaction? Where did it originate? Where did it go? I have questions. According to the Herald, TD bank reviewed the accounts a month after his death and flagged the activity to the Treasury Department. Oh, how noble of them. They did such a great job flagging it after. The idea is you send the SAR as the transaction occurs, and then that way FinCEN is aware of what's going on and they can act. But that never happened when it comes to Jeffrey Epstein. A majority of the affected accounts were opened in 2019, and the subsequent funding of those accounts appears to have been conducted in a willfully deceitful manner intended to disguise the sources of of funds as originating with Jeffrey Epstein. TD bank wrote probably laundering some money, coloring it up, it's my guess. The question is for who? Well, we have some likely suspects. I mean, we know he was doing big time work for Leon Black. We know he was doing big work for Les Wexner. So right off the bat, those two dudes should be suspects, in my opinion. The Herald also reported that the federal and Virgin Islands investigators are opened a wire fraud probe in 2020 into a 15 million dollar wire sent to southern country from Jeffrey Epstein's account at Deutsche Bank. It arrived the day after Epstein died. The probe was quietly closed. Four years later, an FBI memo shows with no stated findings and no stated reason. Well, yeah, we're not privy to that. Go get effed. Typical FBI. They do not care about transparency and, and they don't care about the fact that they work for us. They do what they want to do and it's not about the truth, it's not about justice. It's about protecting the institution. The redacted SARs are part of a broader pattern of the DOJ shielding financial records tied to Epstein. Representative Jamie Raskin last year demanded records from major banks on more than 1.5 billion in suspicious Epstein transactions. The critics say the DOJ has protected potential associates while exposing victims. Well, that's true. That's not even up for debate. And the fact that they've been guarded about the bank records is one of my biggest problems. How long have I been crying about it? I'm sure most of you are sick of hearing it at this point. The DOJ seems to have made no errors in redacting the names of potential associates and, and potential abusers in the files. One survivor's attorney told Ms. Now we took great pains to make sure that we protected victims. Acting Attorney General Todd Baby Blanch, who previously served as one of President Donald Trump's personal lawyers, told ABC News. US District Judge Emmett Sullivan of the District of Columbia ruled last month that Blanche has conceded that he's in violation of the Epstein Files Transparency act, the law Trump signed in November 2025 which requires the DOJ to release its Epstein records. Responding to a July 2 deadline, Blanche told the court the redactions were legally justified and asked Sullivan for a 60 day extension, declining to release the documents because you know, he can do whatever he wants whenever he wants to do it, and time and time again they get away with it. So is this time going to be any different? Well, that's going to be up to Judge Sullivan and when he makes a decision one way or the other, we'll get that bad boy added to the catalog. Until then, that's going to do it for this one. All the information that goes with this episode can be found in the description box.
