my wife said something about Epstein that is completely correct:
it isn't that he's the epicentre of everything bad in the world. it's that he's the only rich fucker's texts we're being allowed to read.
all of the world's billionaires are, evidently, in a death-sex-cult.

Jeffrey Epstein caused the 2008 Financial Crisis???
he had to cash out of his investments to cover fees from his conviction at the time, which lead to a collapse of Bear Sterns

![In August 2006, a month after the federal investigation of him began,[11] Epstein invested $57 million in the Bear Stearns High-Grade Structured Credit Strategies Enhanced Leverage hedge fund.[96][97] The SEC filings for the Bear Stearns fund show that Epstein's Financial Trust Company controlled the votes of a 10-percent share.[98] This fund was highly leveraged in mortgage-backed collateralized debt obligations (CDOs).[97]
On April 18, 2007, an investor in the fund, who had $57 million invested, discussed redeeming his investment.[98][99] At this time, the fund had a leverage ratio of 17:1, which meant for every dollar invested there were 17 dollars of borrowed funds; therefore, the redemption of this investment would have been equivalent to removing $1 billion from the thinly traded CDO market.[100] The selling of CDO assets to meet the redemptions that month began a repricing process and general freeze in the CDO market. The repricing of the CDO assets caused the collapse of the fund three months later in July, and the eventual collapse of Bear Stearns in March 2008. Losses to investors in the two Bear Stearns funds were estimated to exceed $1.6 billion.[97][99]](https://cdn.bsky.app/img/feed_thumbnail/plain/did:plc:ddd4aba5qmgkqygp7n6k2bpl/bafkreifvm2ix6jlenh3dh7mgqvlwmkd4qejbdafwzbrsn6xqgnbt634zpe@jpeg)
