Wyden Releases New Report on Failure of Wall Street Banks to Blow the Whistle on Epstein
‘Looking the Other Way’ Report Caps 4-Year Investigation Into Banks Ignoring Hundreds of Millions of Dollars in Suspicious Transfers; Report Reveals Obstruction by Treasury Department, Senate Republicans and Major Banks; Wyden Outlines Roadmap for Accountability and Legislation to Stop the Ultra-Wealthy from Brazenly Flouting the Law
Washington, D.C. – Senate Finance Committee Ranking Member Ron Wyden, D-Ore., today released a new report detailing how years of complicity by top officials at multiple Wall Street Banks enabled Jeffrey Epstein to transfer hundreds of millions of dollars around the world to finance his sex trafficking operation.Wyden’s report, “Looking the Other Way,” caps a 4-year investigation that included the review of Suspicious Activity reports (SARs), material from multiple lawsuits and court filings and requests for information sent to Wall Street Banks and the Treasury Department. The report lays out compelling evidence that top bankers looked the other way and allowed Epstein to have ready access to the mountains of cash he used to lure, harbor, and transport his victims.
The report exposes how top bankers shielded Epstein from federal scrutiny by delaying the reporting of Epstein’s suspicious financial activity to the U.S. government, likely in violation of federal anti-money-laundering laws. It includes new details about the extent of suspicious activity reported by Deutsche Bank after Epstein’s death, new details from bank reports filed about suspicious transfers to Epstein through accounts at Bank of America, and names top officials at JPMorgan Chase and other banks who were responsible for reporting Epstein’s shady activities to the government but instead protected Epstein in order to gain access to Leon Black and other billionaires.
“I said from the start that if you want to get to the bottom of the Jeffery Epstein cover-up, you had to follow the money. My small team of investigators did what Trump’s attorney general and Treasury secretary said was impossible: they connected the dots and found evidence of multiple crimes related to Epstein’s associates. Bank records they reviewed, along with public court filings, detail a shocking pattern of the biggest Wall Street banks in the country choosing to ignore clear evidence of sex trafficking and money laundering, just to keep a wealthy client on the books,” Wyden said. “This report is a ready-made roadmap for prosecutors, investigators and members of Congress to finally start holding the Epstein class accountable.”
Inside Jeffrey Epstein’s spy industry connections
Factcheck:
Look, the Barak emails are real. Handala dumped them, reporters dug in.
Bessent’s old Soros fund shows up as a client of Barak’s intel shop.
They used the code “Sterling” for that side of the money.
That does NOT mean Bessent was Epstein’s buddy or sat at the same table.
It’s a corporate brush-up, not a smoking gun of personal ties.
Senate tried to force the bank records out and got shut down. That’s the real stink.
