Robert Maxwell, Epstein, and the Money Trail That Still Raises Questions — Transcript

Full transcript

1. 0:00As you know, my particular interest in
2. 0:02this goes way back to the 1980s, which
3. 0:05is the role of Robert Maxwell, Gain
4. 0:07Maxwell's father, because it does appear
5. 0:10that Robert Maxwell and Epstein were in
6. 0:13business together, or at least
7. 0:14discussing business together, they were
8. 0:17seen at the Mirror Group headquarters,
9. 0:19which in 1990, I think, which is where
10. 0:22uh Maxwell owned the newspaper. There's
11. 0:25some new I don't know if it's New
12. 0:26Testament. new to me that's come out I
13. 0:29think recently um and it's on Craig
14. 0:32Younger's blog and um essentially what
15. 0:34it's saying is that in a deposition
16. 0:36sworn in 2010 by a woman called Marissa
17. 0:39Vasquez who was involved in what I think
18. 0:41one of the model agencies she was a a
19. 0:44bookkeeper for one of the so-called
20. 0:45model agencies that Epstein and others
21. 0:48were running at the time she says she
22. 0:51says very clearly in this testimony
23. 0:52which is under oath after all so it says
24. 0:56Um, she testified that Epstein quote had
25. 0:59a relationship with a woman sick, that
26. 1:02her father was very wealthy, and that's
27. 1:04how he started his own money, quote
28. 1:07unquote. So, that does seem to sort of
29. 1:09lend credence to my theory that some of
30. 1:12Epstein's initial capital came via
31. 1:15Robert Maxwell. And at that point,
32. 1:18Robert Maxwell was very much engaged
33. 1:21with the Soviet Union, subsequently
34. 1:23Russia, um before his death and in
35. 1:27particular, as you know, um ostensibly
36. 1:30to get Soviet Jews out of uh Russia and
37. 1:34the Soviet Union so they could resettle
38. 1:36in Israel. But my view has always been
39. 1:40that the quid proquo for that was that
40. 1:42Maxwell and Epstein were laundering
41. 1:45Soviet Communist Party funds into the
42. 1:47West. And that's where I think the story
43. 1:50should pick up. And I believe firmly
44. 1:52that uh Robert Maxwell introduced Galain
45. 1:55Maxwell to Epstein and that effectively
46. 1:58after Maxwell's death which itself was
47. 2:00suspicious as you know that Galain took
48. 2:03up the reigns of what had been going on
49. 2:05previously with her father. So I I think
50. 2:07this is really significant stuff
