Jeffrey Epstein saved billionaire clients’ fortunes when he said to exit market before Black Monday

The key to Jeffrey Epstein’s success may have been explained by the pedophile back in a 2003 interview that was unearthed by Bloomberg. 

In a interview with David Bank on Little St James, Epstein spoke about his meteoric rise while he stepped away from the island’s main house, noting: ‘Too many girls.’

Epstein then went on to talk about the limited schooling that did not stop him from getting a job at the prestigious Dalton Academy, where he met the father of a student who got him a foot in the door at Bear Sterns. 

A decade later, Epstein was out on his own, and in what may be the most lucrative happy accident in the history of Wall Street, advised his billionaire clients to get out of the stock market just before the Black Monday crash.

In his orbit: Soon after he met Leslie Wexner (above with wife Abigail in 2014), who had been the hardest hit by the crash, losing over half of his fortune

‘It was more luck than anything,’ said Epstein, who told Bank that he advised his clients do this not because he predicted the crash, but because he was headed off on vacation and did not want to be disturbed with any money-related matters.

That move, accidental or not, could also explain how Epstein came to know the man responsible for the lion’s share of his wealth.

It was just after Black Monday that Epstein met Leslie Wexner, the man who was widely acknowledged at the time to have been the hardest hit by the crash.

In just a single day, Wexner lost close to half his fortune, and continued to lose more in the weeks after that fateful day. 

Wexner has now revealed that Epstein was swindling him durin their time together, revealing this in a statement last week.

It is a shocking move, especially in light of what he said back in 2003 while speaking to Bank.

‘One of the biggest issues is if you have too much money most likely you won’t miss it if some is taken from you,’ said Epstein. 

‘That’s very important, which is in fact security concerns—and this is the reason I’ve always been private and wisely so—is as you become known as a philanthropist or in giving away money then you become the perfect victim of frauds and identity theft.’

His financial strategy did not seem all that complex however, with Epstein stating: ‘If I lose $10 million of a $100 million I’m out. Under no circumstances am I going to lose more than 10% of my investments.’

He then added: ‘I always want to have enough money to stay in the game.’

And he would only say of his clients that there were less than ten and more than four – and they were all billionaires.
