COLUMBUS, Ohio The money, tens of millions of dollars of it, would flow among Jeffrey Epsteins dozens of bank accounts, shell companies and, at times, charities linked to high-powered friends.
Where was the money going? What was it for? Who was actually sending and receiving it?
A convicted pedophile and accused sex trafficker who surrounded himself with an elite network of business and political leaders, Mr. Epstein enjoyed the trappings of great wealth: private jets, mansions, his own island. But much remains unknown about the sources of his wealth.
Legions of lawyers, bankers and accountants have been trying in recent weeks to solve that mystery, and their quest is unlikely to end after Mr. Epstein was found dead on Saturday morning. The answers could illuminate how Mr. Epstein allegedly operated a long-running sex-trafficking operation, whether he had help from others and who including Mr. Epsteins victims will receive any of his remaining assets. It is not known if Mr. Epstein had a will.

(16,616 posts)More than where the money was going or what it was used for, I want to know where it came from in the first place. He was a "hedge fund manager" that nobody ever heard of, supposedly doing currency trades--and none of the big currency traders ever heard of him either.

(6,212 posts)I have read many articles about him but couldn't figure out how he got the money to live his lifestyle. He apparently spent his time going to all his different properties but never working. Where was that money coming from.
