Interactive network of Epstein’s financial infrastructure — 166 entities, 288 documented connections
This graph maps the financial infrastructure Jeffrey Epstein used to move money across jurisdictions, obscure the origins and destinations of funds, and fund criminal operations — all documented in the EFTA corpus. The money traces back to Les Wexner, who granted Epstein power of attorney over his entire fortune and transferred a $77 million Manhattan townhouse with no recorded deed. Victoria’s Secret was used as a recruitment lure for victims.
The scale is staggering. JPMorgan Chase filed a Suspicious Activity Report covering 4,725 wire transfers totaling $1.08 billion through Epstein-linked accounts. Deutsche Bank held $177 million across at least seven Epstein-controlled entities, even after his 2008 conviction. Leon Black routed $158 million to Epstein through shell company Elysium Management — an internal Deutsche Bank email identified “Elysium is Leon Black” alongside “Willett is Michael Bloomberg” and “Third Lake is the Wanek family.”
The strategy: Epstein seed-funded hedge funds to build financial dependency — $133M into D.B. Zwirn as first investor, $64M into Honeycomb, $50M into Boothbay as founding seed, $28.8M into Thiel’s Valar Global. MC2 Model Management — confirmed by the FBI as a “transport agency of underage girls” — received a $1M seed investment. Millions more flowed to academic institutions and researchers — buying scientific credibility and access to elite networks. Haze Trust purchased a €23M palace in Marrakech via Liechtenstein. Island workers were silenced with $1 million NDAs.
