The recent crash in the crypto market may be related to Epstein. Today, I have compiled the legendary life of this person, hoping it will be helpful for everyone in society~
According to public information, Epstein was born in 1953. His father was a gardener, and his mother was a housewife, coming from an ordinary family.
Epstein's rise began in 1970 when he was studying mathematics and physics at Cooper Union in New York.
Although it is said that his professors recognized his exceptional academic talent and even considered him a genius, he did not graduate.
In 1972, Epstein transferred to the Courant Institute at New York University, but he again chose to drop out without obtaining a degree.
In 1974, at the age of 21, Epstein was hired as a math and physics teacher at the prestigious Dalton School in Manhattan, despite having no teaching certification.
The principal at the time was Donald Barr (father of former Attorney General William Barr), who hired him for his "unconventional talent."
Dalton was a gathering place for the children of New York's super-rich, and Epstein was very popular among the students.
He was the only teacher who would attend high school alcohol parties and during this time established connections with several wealthy parents that went beyond the teacher-student relationship.
In 1976, Epstein was expelled from Dalton School, possibly due to boundary-crossing behavior with students.
However, one of his students' parents, Alan Greenberg, CEO of Bear Stearns, was impressed by his "intelligence" and immediately brought him into Bear Stearns.
He started as a junior trader assistant and quickly demonstrated a strong understanding of complex options and tax avoidance structures.
At Bear Stearns, he focused on providing tax strategies for ultra-high-net-worth individuals, earning him the nickname "tax bulldozer," specializing in financial loopholes in legal gray areas.
In 1979, at the age of 26, Epstein was promoted to limited partner at Bear Stearns, an almost unbelievable speed of promotion at the time!
Despite the halo of being the "youngest partner," in 1981, Epstein was forced to resign from Bear Stearns due to violations (reportedly involving inflated expenses and some non-compliant options trading).
In 1982, Epstein founded his own company, "J. Epstein & Company," and set an extremely audacious rule: only accepting clients with assets over $1 billion.
In 1983, Epstein secured a major client, Hoffenberg, whose Towers Financial was later confirmed to be one of the largest Ponzi schemes in U.S. history.
Recently disclosed Epstein documents show that he served as a financial advisor, helping Hoffenberg cover bad debts through complex offshore companies.
After Hoffenberg was imprisoned, he insisted, "Epstein was the mastermind behind this scam," and then died mysteriously in 2022.
Around 1986, introduced by insurance tycoon Robert Metcalfe, Epstein met Leslie Wexner, the owner of Victoria's Secret.
Wexner granted him "Power of Attorney," which meant Epstein could access and transfer his billions of dollars in assets without Wexner's direct involvement and sign any documents on his behalf.
In 1988, Epstein began seeking privacy in the U.S. Virgin Islands. He focused on the area around Little Saint James Island and began to set up his offshore company structure.
That same year, he moved into Wexner's Manhattan mansion (9 East 71st Street), which later became the core location for his illicit activities.
Epstein officially joined the Trilateral Commission in 1989, which allowed him to enter the global elite circle.
The Trilateral Commission (TC) is an international elite organization often shrouded in conspiracy theories but has significant real-world influence. It was founded in 1973 by David Rockefeller and renowned geopolitical strategist Zbigniew Brzezinski.
After joining the Trilateral Commission, Epstein had private encounters with figures such as Henry Kissinger, Casper Weinberger (former U.S. Secretary of Defense), and several future European heads of state.
In 1991, British media tycoon Robert Maxwell mysteriously disappeared (falling into the sea) while on a yacht, and his daughter Ghislaine Maxwell sought refuge in New York.
Epstein met Ghislaine at a party in New York, and they quickly developed a romantic and partnership relationship, with Ghislaine helping Epstein recruit women globally.
Through Ghislaine, Epstein met Prince Andrew of the UK, who was at the height of his popularity at the time.
In 1992, Epstein purchased a villa in Palm Beach, Florida, and began to reside there regularly.
In 1993, Epstein began visiting the White House. According to the latest Epstein documents, he entered the White House at least three times from 1993 and donated $10,000 to the White House Historical Association.
In 1994, Epstein became a regular at Trump’s Mar-a-Lago.
In 1995, Prince Andrew made his first visit to Epstein's Manhattan mansion, where Epstein began providing him with "special services" and social conveniences.
Also in 1995, Epstein purchased a Boeing 727 (the infamous "Lolita Express") and began inviting the elite to fly with him.
At this time, Epstein also began appearing in some early Silicon Valley elite salons, showcasing his strong interest in future technologies (such as early internet architecture).
Recent documents confirm that Epstein completed the installation of digital surveillance in his Manhattan mansion in 1996. These monitors targeted not only victims but also visiting "big shots."
In 1998, as a senior member of the Trilateral Commission, Epstein began acting as an unofficial intermediary in some informal negotiations involving Israel and the Middle East.
In 2001, after Bill Clinton left office, Epstein became one of his core sponsors.
That same year, he met Lawrence Summers, then president of Harvard University (later U.S. Secretary of the Treasury), and helped him pursue a failed romantic interest (continuing the gossip: Epstein helped the U.S. Treasury Secretary in harassing and seducing older women…).
In 2002, Epstein took Clinton, Kevin Spacey, and others on the "Lolita Express" to Africa for so-called charitable activities.
The latest declassified documents include internal logs of this trip, which show that many "unregistered women" boarded midway through the flight.
In 2023, Epstein began preliminary contact with the young Musk to discuss grand topics about the "continuation of human civilization."
In 2005, due to a report from a victim's parent, the Palm Beach police in Florida began a secret investigation into Epstein.
In 2006, the FBI launched an investigation codenamed "Operation Ghost," but an internal email from the Justice Department at the time clearly stated: "His friends are too powerful; we need to handle this carefully."
In 2007, federal prosecutor Acosta negotiated a non-prosecution agreement (NPA) in exchange for Epstein's admission of a misdemeanor in state court and serving time.
In simple terms, Epstein secured a permanent lockout and immunity from more serious federal sex crime charges through just 13 months of semi-free "paid leave" style imprisonment.
By the time the 2008 financial crisis erupted, Epstein was in a Florida prison.
However, he did not serve his time properly; due to his "work release" privileges, he spent 12 hours a day in his office.
Moreover, newly released documents reveal that during the collapse of Lehman Brothers in 2008, he used insider information to hedge a large number of positions, not only avoiding losses during the crisis but also increasing his net worth by approximately $300 million.
In 2009, Epstein was released from prison and immediately became active in high society again.
In 2011, Epstein met Bill Gates for the first time in New York, calling Gates "the ideal long-term strategic partner."
Recent Epstein documents show that Gates contracted a sexually transmitted disease after having relations with several "Russian girls." Gates reportedly asked Epstein for antibiotics and attempted to secretly give these medications to Melinda without informing her.
Although Gates denied these allegations, his ex-wife Melinda stated in a recent interview that these details made her feel "extremely sad" and brought back painful memories from their marriage.
In the following years, Epstein became deeply involved in the development of Bitcoin. (Did Epstein not die? He invested in Bitcoin in 2011 and even appeared on U.S. currency!)
In July 2019, Epstein was arrested upon arriving at a New Jersey airport from France, charged with sex trafficking of minors.
On August 10, 2019, Epstein was found dead in the Metropolitan Correctional Center (MCC) in New York.
According to an analysis of the original prison surveillance data released in January 2026, Epstein had requested to see an unnamed "legal advisor" within 48 hours before his death, and the identity of this advisor remains highly obscured in the latest files.
Conspiracy theorists believe that during this meeting, someone arranged to swap Epstein with a double, as the contours of the nose and ears in the autopsy photos do not match his features while alive.
Furthermore, after the U.S. Department of Justice released approximately 3 million pages of original email data (including metadata) in January 2026, Reddit users discovered anomalies by comparing the email headers and IMAP login records: at least two encrypted email accounts under Epstein's name had successful IP login records from September to November 2019 (months after his death).
Reddit officials deleted some comments containing direct download links in the past 48 hours for "violating privacy agreements (involving unredacted victim lists)."
Some even believe that Epstein is not human!
Despite the release of a massive amount of Epstein documents and his constant presence in the spotlight, the earliest color photo of him is from 1992 with Trump, while there are only a few blurry early black-and-white photos from before that.
It's worth noting that Trump was born in 1946, making him seven years older than Epstein.
In 1992, Trump was 46 years old, and Epstein was 39, but Epstein appeared much older while Trump looked youthful.
By the time Epstein died in 2019, Trump had aged significantly, while Epstein seemed to have eternal youth.
Thus, some believe that Epstein might truly be a devil.
P.S. The host is Steve Bannon, the mastermind behind Trump's 2016 election victory and former White House Chief Strategist.
Bannon was completely overshadowed by Epstein during the interview, which I strongly recommend watching.
