ARCHIVE 013 — The Money

The money was always the story.

Jeffrey Epstein had little documented wealth in the early 1990s. By the time of his 2019 arrest, his estate was valued at $630 million. The Senate Finance Committee spent 900 pages attempting to trace it.

What the public record shows: Leslie Wexner gave Epstein unlimited power of attorney in 1991. More than $200 million in assets transferred. The Manhattan townhouse sold for $1. JPMorgan processed his accounts for 15 years despite internal red flags, settling for $290 million. Deutsche Bank continued after his 2008 conviction, fined $150 million.

LinkedIn co-founder Reid Hoffman stayed at Epstein's island and maintained contact after the 2008 conviction. Emails from 2026 releases show Hoffman sent Epstein a gift with a note joking about ice cream "for the girls."

Epstein also quietly invested $920,000 in a Manhattan luxury condo conversion at 21 E. 26th St. — a building later home to Chelsea Clinton and Jennifer Lopez. He structured his investment for developer-level profit access.

Two banks. $440 million in settlements. 900 Senate pages. Not one criminal charge for a banker. The money trail is public record.

Sourced from Senate Finance Committee reports, JPMorgan and Deutsche Bank settlement documents, Wexner financial records, and the March 2026 Epstein file releases. All public record.
