3 min

Tim discusses how no one ever understood how Epstein actually made his money, connecting him to Saudi arms dealer Adnan Khashoggi and contrasting him with legitimate finance figures like Steven Cohen.

In this bit4 moments
  • Tim speculates that Khashoggi might have laundered money for him, which would actually be the best-case scenario given what they don't know.
  • No one knew how Epstein made his money despite having massive wealth and the largest residence in Manhattan, unlike transparent figures like Steven Cohen who owns the Mets.
  • Every article about Epstein posed the question 'Who is he? What's he doing?' treating him as an international money man of mystery.
  • A 2002 New York magazine article lists Epstein's powerful connections—Nobel Prize winners, CEOs, socialites, and Trump—but notes the world only started wondering who he was when he flew Clinton, Kevin Space, and Chris Tucker to Africa.
