Epstein working the "Special Client" Book next to Ace Greenberg's office at Bear Stearns would've given him ample opportunities to make a LOT of side cash supplying "wishes" off the books for what would've been Ace's ultra wealthy personal client list.
Keep in mind, most of these are interbank, one vs the other, and there's probably 200 banks total, worldwide that participate. A lot of this stuff is allowed to stand in place what's known as "Tier 1 Capital", or, for normies, that would be the equivalent in cash.
Steep as shit there. It was part of the 1960 Giant Slalom course. Hasn't been enough snow to ski it til this week, per locals.
Slide into Lake Tahoe, maybe, but it's a way back from the shore….Pity though, one of the best hills in the West. 75% expert runs cuts A LOT of chaff off the hill. The "Trench" to the bottom has traffic like an LA freeway.
Really, really steep ski slope. No "Yard Sales" on that hill, or you're going to have a very, very long climb up.
