Jeffrey Epsteins arrest for child sex-trafficking.

No one even seems to have a clear idea where Epstein got all his money. His explanation is a “Hedge fund manager” but he is ludicrously wealthy even by the standards of fund managers; it’s akin to a guy being a surgeon and he lives like Jeff Bezos. Surgery’s good money, but not THAT good.

It is possible, of course, that Epstein is not as rich as he has claimed to be. It’s possible he had amassed a fortune by blackmailing men who he helped to rape teenaged girls. It’s really anyone’s guess as to how gross this will turn out to be.

It’s possible that he, like Trump, has been associating with unsavory people and their money.

Mention at about 14:30 mins into clip. O’Brien notes the similarity with the unknown sources of money that flow into the Trump Organization.
