What's up everyone? And welcome to another episode of the Epstein Chronicles. The sordid tale of Jeffrey Epstein is littered with some of the most repugnant people in the history of the world. And what was so off putting about Jeffrey Epstein is that the people that were around him, the people that were helping him, the people that were conspiring with him, all inhabit the highest rungs of our society. I mean, every single sector has been infected, whether we're talking about higher education, whether we're talking about industry or politics, or most importantly, in my opinion, the financial sector. And in my opinion, they're the biggest culprits when it comes to Jeffrey Epstein. Because without them, there's no way he could do what he did without them being complicit, without the banks moving that money, without the banks not asking questions, there's no way that Epstein could have operated to the extent that he did. And keep in mind, they weren't doing it out of the kindness of their heart either. The banks, they were benefiting, they were profiting, they were making a ton of money. And as you know, it's always about profits over people. So today we have an article from the Miami Herald and the headline epstein made millions off DOJ settlement with famed European bank dynasty. And how many times have you seen Jeffrey Epstein in business with somebody only to turn around and sue those very same people? It's happened more times than I can count. And that's just the kind of businessman that Epstein was. When I tell you that Epstein was a me first MFer, I mean it. Maybe the biggest me first MFer in the history of the world. Because all that mattered to him was more. More debauchery, more kompromat, more money, more power, more reach. That's all he cared about. This article was authored by Shirso Daz Gupta. Jeffrey Epstein made millions of dollars after the U. S. Justice department settled in an investigation into Switzerland based private bank Edmund the Rothschild Group in 2015. The institution founded by the French branch of the storied centuries old Rothschild banking dynasty was the subject Of a justice department probe under the Obama administration into whether it had helped wealthy u. S. Citizens evade taxes. Oh, come on. The banks would never do that. You mean to tell me that these banks would. Would provide extra help to their wealthy clients so that they could evade taxes? That's not what rich people do. They always pay their fair share. Right. Epstein, according to the miami herald review of records released by the justice department, had consulted for the bank and one of its owners, Baroness Ariane de Rothschild, on this issue. He was paid $25 million for consulting operations on strategic business matters and estate planning. In December 2015, after the Justice Department settled with the bank, two business agreements and wire transfer show. So in other words, what they're trying to do, in my opinion, is hide money. That's the only reason you get in bed with Epstein. The only reason. Do you think Leon black was really trying to get tax advice from Jeffrey Epstein, or does it make more sense that you're going to Jeffrey Epstein because you don't want to pay taxes and you want to stash some money? And it's not lost on me that Jeffrey Epstein was so well thought of by these people that these gigantic institutions hired him to come in and advise them and find their money or stash the money they already have. Either way, he's going to bundle that dough and do what he does. And when you really break this bone open to the marrow, that's what it is. Jeffrey Epstein was the quintessential middleman and the quintessential fixer. A guy that could make things move, could find things or make things go away. And these people, like the Rothschilds, they knew that. And they knew that if they wanted to get their house in order, if you will, and make sure the government didn't come calling to find more money, they that might have been stashed or whatever, then Jeffrey Epstein was your guy. The agreements made with Epstein southern trust company Were signed by executives of the swiss bank and the Rothschild. While the agreements do not spell out the details of the work Epstein did for the Rothschilds, an earlier draft of the documents reveals more information the herald found. We all know what he was doing. Do you think they're going to put it on wax so that everybody else knows and there's a paper trail? BRO Was looking for money to stash so they didn't have to pay taxes on it and so they weren't liable for it. There's no big mystery here. I'm sure all of you have heard the frog and the scorpion story where the scorpion Talks the frog into letting it hitch a ride on it across the water. But the scorpion stings the frog, and they both drown. And the frog says to the scorpion, why did you do that? And the scorpion says, well, it's just my nature. And that's the same thing with Jeffrey Epstein. The man was a predator through and through. Whether we're talking about physically or financially, the same holds true. The man was one of the most prolific predators in the history of the world. While the agreement do not spell out the details of the work that Epstein did for the Rothschilds, an earlier draft of the documents reveals more information. The Herald has found Epstein's pay, according to the draft, was on a sliding scale. He'd be paid 10 million if the Justice Department imposed a penalty that was between 75 million to 150 million. If the penalty was less than 75 million, Epstein's compensation would be 25 million. Now, remember, this was during the time that Barack Obama was the president. And we all know that Rumler was part of that White House. So what did Rumler have to do with any of this? Was she middlemanning this? Was she helping out as Epstein's trying to negotiate these deals for his buddies over at the Rothschild Bank? Yo, I have questions. The justice department settled on 45 million and agreed to not prosecute the bank, triggering the 25 million fees to Epstein. The settlement was among 75 agreements the agency finalized that year as part of a program for Swiss banks to resolve potential criminal liabilities in the United States. The Justice Department did not comment. I mean, what are they going to say? Oh, yeah, that definitely happened. And Epstein was right in the middle of it being the middleman. And you know what's crazy? That Epstein's involved in all these deals when he's just some lone predator. You'd think that some lone predator would just be at home doing what lone predators do. But not this one, huh? Sure. Seems like this dude has his fingers in many pies. And then you start asking yourself, what are they talking about when they say national security interests? Well, are you paying attention? This is the kind of they're talking about. Just how deeply involved was Jeffrey Epstein when it comes to the business of the United States of America? Maybe not in an official capacity, but as a middleman. The questions have swirled about how the disgraced financier made his fortune. And Epstein's relationship with the Rothschilds provides insight into how he was a master at cultivating connections that were both financially lucrative and enabled his access to the global elite. That's all surface level. We all know that. And like usual, the legacy media is missing the boat. It's not just about Epstein. It's about the financial sector using Epstein in the capacity that they did. And then for these banks to act like they have no idea what Epstein is or what Epstein was is some of the most ridiculous on the face of this earth, especially considering how much money these banks have paid out. Epstein's role in the bank's deal with federal prosecutors in the United States was just one example of the relationship he had with the storied European family. The Baroness discussed with him internal family issues and her health problems, and Epstein offered his advice on how she could consolidate her power within her family and secure her daughter's futures. He guided her through a restructuring of the bank and offered his encouragement and support when she expressed doubts about her abilities or told him that she was exhausted from dealing with the pressure. Of all the people you can go to, you go to Jeffrey Epstein, huh? And remember, we're talking about the Rothschilds here. You know, the Illuminati. Well, the Rothschild family is synonymous with the Illuminati. And then you wrap Jeffrey Epstein up into that. That is like a wet dream for every conspiracy theorist in the history of the world. Then, of course, you have to ask yourself, are they really conspiracy theorists, the people that are talking about these banks and the relationship these banks have with people like Epstein? And I'd say no. When we're talking about the financial sector itself and not all the other stuff wrapped into it, you know, the rothschilds, the Illuminati, etc. I think that the financial sector alone, as it stands, without any embellishment, without wrapping in any sort of speculation, can be painted as the boogeyman in just about every single problem we have on this planet. And I've been firm in that opinion for a very long time. Before I even started looking into Epstein, I knew the financial sector was cooked, and I knew that they were complicit in a lot of the world's problems. And that remains the truth now. But with Epstein, a spotlight is being shined on the fact that they have no scruples. Right? They don't care. The financial institution, the does not care. They all might as well be Gordon Gecko or Jordan Belfort. It kills me to see you spending your amazing talents as part of the working class, Epstein wrote in a December 13, 2017 email to Rothschild, whose family's net worth is several billion dollars. I am always there for you. Oh, God forbid. You're part of a Working class. This is another thing I'm talking about all the time. These people despise you. All of them. All these elites that you're arguing over on a daily basis about which one smells less, they hate you. Do you think they go home at night, crack open a bottle of fifteen hundred dollar whiskey and worry about what's going on in your life? How you're going to pay your bills, or that Your gas is 7 bucks a gallon or that food's through the roof? They don't give a, you know what they care about. More money, more power, the next war. And then of course, that's the only time they care about the working class. When they want to send them off to some kind of fucked up war somewhere. And look, I've told you folks for a very long time that Maxwell and Epstein especially despise the working class. And I heard that directly from people that were around them. And when you start reading the emails, it's very obvious how. How Epstein felt about people like me and you. A spokesperson for Edmund Rothschild Group said the Baroness had no knowledge whatsoever of Epstein's illicit activity and that she unequivocally condemned such behavior and the crimes of which he is guilty. He said she expresses her sincere compassion for his victims. Oh, I'm sure. So compassionate. She had no idea. In 2017, huh? Lion ass. Mr. Epstein sought to give his opinion or advice, or even make suggestions, most of the time unsolicited to miss the Rothschild, as he did with many other people. The spokesperson said. This in no way implies that Ms. De Rothschild followed all of his advice. It was clearly the manipulative method of Mr. Epstein to promote his ideas and projects and to try in this way to put himself at the center of the game. Oh please. This is going to be the narrative. Epstein was the world's greatest con man. Nobody knew what was going on. Please, do not let them insult your intelligence. They push this narrative on you. My advice is challenge that shit forcefully with facts. Epstein, according to the spokesperson, was introduced to the Rothschild by Norwegian diplomat Terry Rod Larson. He didn't say when that meeting occurred. Epstein and Rothschild's correspondence, the record show, dates back to at least 2013, five years after Epstein pleaded guilty to soliciting a minor and had to register as a sex offender. Oh, I had no idea that you were a sick bastard, but you were already a sex offender. I guess that was just a big mistake. Ah, you just made a mistake like a dui. It's like stealing a bagel. The regularly exchanged messages and calls and invited each other to their homes for dinner. The Baroness gave Epstein interior design tips and picked out antique furniture and vases worth more than 500,000 for the financier to buy for his properties. You mean pedophile, right? Financier. Epstein helped one of her daughters with her college applications, showed her around New York, and secured her an appointment with with the glamorous New York salon owned by his associate, celebrity hair stylist Frederick Fakai. Another scumbag. He was the dude that was taking care of all of the needs for the girls. They go down there, get their hair done, nails, whatever it might be. And Freddy Fakai was that dude. But of course, he knew nothing either. Had no idea what Jeffrey Epstein was. The period was a rocky one for the Rothschild family. Besides federal prosecutors in the United States, the bank was also probed by authorities in the country of Luxembourg for the institution's alleged role in the 4.5 billion 1 MDB scandal, a global embezzlement, bribery and money laundering scheme involving Malaysia's sovereign wealth fund. Yo, how much of a scumbag do you have to be or how degenerate do you have to be to get caught up in a money laundering scheme in Luxembourg? Like what? Talk about being brazen. Because we all know that the money laundering over there is usually pretty successful. So honestly, I'm shocked to even hear that something like that was going on over in Luxembourg. Then again, they probably just piggybacked off of what they saw with the United States. Right? Well, easy payday. Let's get ourselves a settlement. The bank became the first ever to be convicted in Luxembourg for money laundering and paid roughly 28.5 million as a penalty last year. See what I mean? Not really something that happens over there very often. Very lax laws when it comes to AML and money laundering. The Rothschild and her husband, Benjamin, were also in the midst of a battle with Benjamin's cousin, David the Rothschild, regarding who could use the family name for their business. Epstein acted as Ariane de Rothschild's confidant and guide throughout this tumultuous time. The records show he characterized the bank as a supertanker that needed good leadership to navigate through stormy seas. He encouraged the Rothschild to restructure the institution and consolidate her power internally, even suggesting she push out her husband, with whom she shared a difficult relationship. Ben de Rothschild handed over control of the bank to his wife in early 2015. If you need help paying for divorce attorney in battle, I'll be there. Epstein wrote to her on May 4, 2015. The Baroness thanked him for his kindness. The baroness. What a bunch of outdated weirdo shit. The whole royal family, monarchy, royals. Waff uncle to all of that. Later that year, as negotiations culminated between the Justice Department and the bank, de Rothschild wrote again to the financier. 45 million, Epstein replied, saying that that she would find total expenses of 80 million, including the penalty, legal fees and payback to settle the investigation, to be a pretty good deal. A giant. Thank you, Dorothchild replied. I'm relieved that it's settled and over. Epstein also encouraged de Rothschild to explore potential mergers with two other Swiss banking giants, UBS in 2015 and Julius Baer two years later. Neither of the two deals came to fruition. Epstein and the Baroness continued corresponding into 2019. The records show FBI officials arrested Epstein on federal trafficking charges. On July 6, 2019, he was found dead in federal custody in New York. Roughly a month later, de Rothschild's husband, Benjamin, died of a heart attack in 2021. French authorities rated the bank's Paris office last month as part of an investigation related to Epstein's activities. So, look, there's no doubt that there's plenty of evidence here. Are we ever going to see it? I don't know. Maybe. But one thing I'm pretty certain of is that nobody in the financial sector is ever going to face any kind of justice or any kind of ramifications for what they've done or what they continue to do. And look, I'd love to be wrong, but if history has taught us anything, it's taught us that the financial sector is pretty much bulletproof. Oh, sure, they're gonna have to pay a fine. They always pay a fine. Does anyone go to prison? Did anyone go to prison after 2008? And unfortunately, I think we'll see the same here. More fines, but no real justice. So, like usual, we'll continue to swim through the muck looking for some clarity. All the information that goes with this episode can be found in the description box.
