Maxwell family stolen pension fortune, hidden away by Epstein? (Video)
The Duran Quick Take: Episode 611.
by Alex Christoforou July 28, 2020
The Duran’s Alex Christoforou and Editor-in-Chief Alexander Mercouris discuss the mystery of how grifter and con man, Jeffrey Epstein, made his fortune and why Ghislaine Maxwell may be the one person alive who knows, not only knows where Epstein hid those millions, but may actually be the person who entrusted him to hide the fortune that was originally stolen by her father, Robert Maxwell.
Via The Daily Mail…
He knew Jeffrey Epstein for more than three decades and had a unique insight into how the disgraced financier made his billions.
Now, American investigative journalist Edward Jay Epstein – no relation – unpicks the mystery of how the late sex offender embarked on his astonishing path to riches…
Ghislaine Maxwell may be the last person alive who knows the answers to one of the decade’s great mysteries: how did Jeffrey Epstein amass his fortune and where is it now?
For one of the theories is that Maxwell’s father Robert bankrolled him.
When Epstein died a year ago, his visible assets added up to an extraordinary £467 million. But that was ‘only the tip of the iceberg’, according to the head of a multi-billion-dollar hedge fund who I first met at Epstein’s mansion in New York.
The question this financier could not answer was how Epstein, who he had never known to actually conclude a successful business deal, had accumulated such a tremendous fortune. Nor could any of Wall Street’s so-called ‘masters of the universe’.
I first met Epstein at a large Halloween party in Manhattan in 1987. He was bright and charming, but whatever other talents he may have possessed, they didn’t include, as far as I could see, the conventional Wall Street money-making wizardry of arbitrage – wheeling and dealing in assets, stocks or currency in the markets.
Soon afterwards, he invited me to tea at the Mayfair Hotel and told me he was a financial bounty hunter, hired to track down hidden money from notorious offshore havens such as Andorra, Fiji, Gibraltar and the Cayman Islands. This suggested to me that he might be implicated in the shady business of hiding it there in the first place.
He then demonstrated his talent for magically transforming economy-class air tickets into first-class ones.
I gave him my cheapo ticket to Spain, and he gave it back to me the next day with a first-class sticker. A free upgrade? It seemed too good to be true and, indeed, when I tried to board the flight, I was told my first-class ticket was a fake.
It turned out that Epstein had simply obtained a cache of first-class upgrade stickers, which he pasted on cheaper tickets in the hope the true price paid wouldn’t be noticed at the check-in desk. Everything about Epstein was a con. I never thought: ‘Here’s an honest guy.’
Back then, Epstein was not yet a tycoon. He lived in a one-bedroom apartment at Solow Tower at 265 East 66th Street. At the time, there was a rent strike, so he lived there without paying a cent.
On occasions he pretended he lived in the penthouse by inviting guests up to the roof garden and getting a deli to deliver food.
He also had a plush office at Villard House, which he shared with the wife of a former New York governor. The rent was paid by Steven Hoffenberg, a tall guy with dark eyes, who owned a bill-collection agency, Towers International.
I remember being impressed when Epstein introduced me to Hoffenberg because he had an armed bodyguard.
It emerged about a year later, in 1988, that he was running a £380 million Ponzi scheme [a scam promising high rates of return with little risk to investors] for which he served 18 years in prison.
The cloud around Epstein darkened further when, to show off his power, he gave me a program which allowed me to remotely access his computer via my telephone modem, which seemed technically advanced for the time.

He said I could use it to get real-time quotes on the stock market, but it also revealed that he had a cashflow problem. Not only were there letters from people demanding the return of their money, but one New York financier reported that a cheque from Epstein for $83,000 had bounced a second time.
In early 1989, Epstein and I stopped speaking. I wrote a regular column called Wall Street Babylon in the Manhattan, Inc magazine.
I didn’t mention him by name, but I was becoming increasingly wary that Epstein was a scam artist and I described the barely legal form of insider trading in which he was clearly involved. Epstein was livid and broke off all contact. Even so, I couldn’t help being intrigued by his stratospheric rise into the upper echelons of the super-rich. As I watched from the sidelines, he seemed to be nothing short of a modern-day version of F Scott Fitzgerald’s Jay Gatsby.
We had mutual friends who informed me that he had moved from his fake penthouse to an enormous mansion on 71st Street, previously owned by Victoria’s Secret and Abercrombie & Fitch tycoon Les Wexner.
By now, Epstein had also acquired a ranch outside Santa Fé, New Mexico, a private island in the Virgin Islands and an apartment on Avenue Foch in Paris that had a stuffed baby elephant in the centre of the living room.
On his private airliner, he gave former President Bill Clinton rides to Africa. Prince Andrew was another associate and I remember being fascinated that Epstein was constantly surrounded by the most beautiful women I had ever seen in my life.
Astoundingly, nothing – not even a 13-month prison sentence for pleading guilty to soliciting under-age girls in Florida – could impinge this upward trajectory into an elite world of money and power.
Then, out of the blue and after a hiatus of 24 years, Epstein called me in 2013 and invited me to his mansion. He said he wanted to ask me about Vladimir Nabokov, who wrote Lolita, about a precociously seductive girl. I had known the author many decades earlier.
I agreed to go for a different reason: finding out how he made, and continued to make, his fortune.
As a convicted felon, Epstein would not be allowed a licence to manage money. Yet, as he told me with a glistening, know-it-all smile, he was doing better than ever.
He now had homes in New York, Palm Beach, Paris and New Mexico, and he was in the process of buying a mansion in Saudi Arabia. He also had a private fleet of jets and a helicopter.
When I asked about his business, he replied: ‘I manage money for a few select clients.’
On the walls were photos of him with Saudi Prince Mohammed bin Salman and Emirate Prince Mohammed bin Zayed.
I asked: ‘Are these clients?’ He said some were.
‘What about Russia? Any clients there?’ He shrugged and said he often flew to Moscow to see Vladimir Putin.
I found this hard to swallow. It was implausible that such powerful world leaders would trust the management of their personal funds to a convicted sex offender.
After all, if they wanted financial wizardry, there was no shortage of well-connected investment bankers in London or New York. Some don’t ask too many inconvenient questions. So what special talent did Epstein have?
I would never find out, at least not from the horse’s mouth.
Jeffrey Epstein was found dead on the floor of his cell in July last year. His death, an apparent suicide by hanging, only deepened the mystery behind his wealth.
No one I spoke with knew for sure where his initial windfall came from. So I decided to begin at the beginning with the man Epstein introduced me to in 1987 – the Ponzi scheme fraudster Steven Hoffenberg.
I learned that one of the first things Hoffenberg did after he was released from prison in 2013 was to go uninvited to Epstein’s home and demand a large sum of money. Epstein called him crazy, and threw him out.
However, Hoffenberg’s version of events is all-too believable. He said he had been introduced to Epstein in 1987 by Douglas Leese, a London financier.
At the time, Hoffenberg was building his debt-recovery company Towers International into a billion-dollar Ponzi scheme. He needed help selling phoney securities and Leese, who had employed Epstein to do money-laundering for his clients’ schemes, recommended him for, as Hoffenberg put it, his ‘criminal mindset’.
As Hoffenberg tells it, Epstein quickly became a pivotal actor in the Ponzi scheme and got a share of the $475 million loot.
The problem with Hoffenberg’s story is that Epstein was never implicated in various investigations into Towers International.
He was never mentioned by anyone involved in the swindle, even after Hoffenberg and his associates at Towers International agreed to co-operate with investigators. If Epstein had received part of the money, why hadn’t Hoffenberg disclosed that fact to mitigate his sentence? Did he really expect to get the money back after getting out of prison?
Ghislaine’s father Robert, whose body was found floating off the coast of Tenerife in 1991, is another often-mentioned candidate for bankrolling Epstein.
The media tycoon had stolen hundreds of millions of pounds from his companies’ pension funds, and not all the missing money could be traced.
Soon after his death, Epstein began dating Ghislaine, leading some of his acquaintances to suspect that more than romance was involved in their relationship and that Epstein had hidden some of the stolen funds.
As attractive as this theory may be, no evidence has emerged in the investigations of Maxwell or Epstein to support it.
Finally, it cannot be excluded that Epstein was actually telling the truth when he had said rich and powerful people found reason to consign funds to him.
An extremely savvy financier and philanthropist told me after Epstein’s death about a proposition Epstein had once made him: that he could save more than $40 million in US taxes if he gave him $100 million to manage.
Epstein claimed the money would be concealed in a maze of offshore non-profits he controlled so that part of the profits would be transferred to the financier’s own philanthropic foundation, with the balance retained offshore and out of the reach of the taxman.
When the financier told him that the scheme amounted to illicit tax evasion, Epstein said it was highly unlikely the Internal Revenue Service would unravel it, and, if it did, he would protect the financier from any criminal exposure.
The financier asked him how? Epstein said the financier would have to sign over the funds to him, thus giving him total discretion over where and how the money was invested. This piece of paper, he said, would provide an alibi to the US tax authorities.
The financier turned down Epstein’s proposition, but others – Arab princes, Russian oligarchs and those interested in hiding some part of their wealth – might have accepted it.
Indeed, shortly before his arrest last year, Epstein told an associate that he was going into the business of hiding funds for billionaires who were contemplating divorcing their wives – for a hefty commission, of course.
He also claimed to be in the final stages of buying a property in Morocco, one of four countries in the world not to have an extradition treaty with the US.
So perhaps the mystery of Epstein’s fortune is not how he made his millions, but to whom the money ultimately belongs.
Many very powerful people may have had cause to rue Epstein’s incarceration on sex charges – and, given the fact that they were hiding their assets from the authorities, it’s highly unlikely they will ever publicly come forward to try to recover their investments.
All of which leaves Ghislaine Maxwell as the last living link between a flawed 21st Century Jay Gatsby and the powerful figures who will no doubt be hoping that Epstein’s secrets died with him.

BOOK
John Doerr, superpower VC at Kleiner Perkins Caufield & Byers, raised his glass during a Democratic fundraiser in Atherton, California, in September and lauded Al Gore for "delivering" the China trade bill - legislation that could mean billions for the tech firms in the Kleiner Perkins fold.
It was an improbable moment in modern politics. Indeed, just five years ago all smart money would have bet against the notion that Gore, in the midst of the political race of his life, would help open China to free trade against the wishes of organized labor and bleeding hearts. And also that Doerr, the ruthless libertarian, would heap praise - and almost $300,000 - on the Democrats.
In How to Hack a Party Line, Sara Miles traces the origin of this alliance. It's a witty, character-rich piece of reportage that charts the parallel rise of high tech in California and pro-business New Democrats in Washington, DC. This happy (if sometimes stormy) convergence, Miles writes, has altered the landscape of national politics
How to Hack details Doerr's 1997 founding of the Valley's first technology-oriented political action committee, TechNet, shaped by a jocular, cutthroat Democratic fundraiser named Wade Randlett into a centrist-Democrat funding powerhouse. Randlett helped the Nasdaq gentry envision the influence they would wield once they turned their attention to politics. While Republicans dawdled, he worked on Doerr and other tech leaders with striking success: As donations rolled in, the Liebermans, Feinsteins, and Bayhs of the Senate powwowed with techies. Suddenly, H-1B visas, a tax-free Internet, and charter schools topped the New Democrat agenda.
Though "schematically perfect," Miles writes, the tech-New Democrat marriage was soon rocked by Old Democrat constituencies - labor, trial lawyers, the Rainbow Coalition - and nearly torn apart in the clash between the Valley's change-it-now ethos and Washington's "slow, chaotic, illogical system" of politics. Miles captures a furious locking of horns between Doerr and Senator Jay Rockefeller - New Power and Old Power personified - over who should call the shots on Y2K liability legislation. Tellingly, New Power won.
With these (and other) bumps, the Democrats lost their absolute fundraising edge with the traditional constituencies, and the GOP was right there to take up the slack. Whether the tech-New Democrat alliance will survive this election cycle remains an open question. But the author makes one thing perfectly clear: Techies' political reputation for having "deep pockets and short arms" is clearly outdated. As Valley idol Marc Andreessen - who coolly invested $250,000 in the Gore campaign - told Miles: "If you think there's a lot of money in politics now, you haven't seen anything yet."

Kleiner Perkins Trial Details Firm's All-Male Ski Trip And Dinner Party
ByEllen HuetFormer Staff
I write about technology and how it affects us.
Feb 25, 2015, 08:39pm EST
This article is more than 9 years old.
In the long weeks ahead for the trial between storied venture capital firm Kleiner Perkins Caulfield & Byers and former partner Ellen Pao, much time and attention will be devoted to the specific experiences of Pao, who claims she faced gender discrimination and retaliation at work, in part because of a brief affair she had with a colleague.
But on Wednesday, as the high-profile trial moved into its second day in San Francisco Superior Court, attorneys looked more broadly at the issue of inclusion of women at the firm. Pao's attorneys claim the firm systematically excluded women from important networking events and promoted men who received performance reviews with similar language to those of Pao. She did not make senior partner and eventually left the firm. She is currently interim CEO of Reddit, a popular Internet forum.
Two particular work events were dissected at length: a ski trip to Vail and a dinner at Al Gore's San Francisco home. Chi-Hua Chien, a former Kleiner Perkins partner who now runs his own venture capital firm, organized both trips– and neither included any women. Chien spent most of the day on the stand, often swiveling in his chair and occasionally smirking at questions.
In emails with Path CEO Dave Morin about who to invite to the ski trip, Chien suggested that they fill the final two spots on the chartered plane with men instead of women – they had discussed inviting the founders of Kleiner-funded Rent the Runway, Jennifer Hyman and Jennifer Fleiss. Chien didn't think it was appropriate for women to be sharing some of the four-bedroom condos that had been rented for the trip.
"BTW, re Jenny and ski trip the issue is that we are staying in condos and I was thinking that gents wouldn't mind sharing, but gals might not," Chien wrote in an email showed to the courtroom. "At this point, I don't foresee a critical mass of ladies to secure another condo given we only have 2 more seats.
"Why don't we punt on her and find 2 guys who are awesome," he added. "We can add 4-8 women next year."
There was no ski trip the next year. Later, under examination from Kleiner's attorney Lynne Hermle, Chien said that he had invited Kleiner general partner Mary Meeker to join but that she was not available. She had been invited despite the condo situation because she owns a house nearby, Chien said. When Pao's attorney Therese Lawless asked if that meant only women who owned a house in the area were invited, Chien said that he found her phrasing of the question "kind of obnoxious."
Kleiner's attorneys worked to show that women were not purposefully excluded from the trip. Higher-ups like John Doerr, Randy Komisar and Ray Lane were not invited either. Another partner, Amol Deshpande, who testified later Wednesday, said he was not invited to the trip and wasn't offended about it.

Why not? "I don't ski," he said, drawing laughs from the courtroom.
Chien also organized an all-male dinner at Al Gore's home that eventually included two Kleiner partners and representatives from a handful of Kleiner-backed companies like Dropbox, Flipboard and Yelp . John Doerr, who did not attend, asked the firm why there had been no women invited to the dinner, and Pao later complained about not being invited, especially since she was on the board of Flipboard at the time. Chien said the number of attendees was limited by Gore's dining room, which could only seat 10 people.
>Kleiner Perkins Trial Details Firm's All-Male Ski Trip And Dinner Party
Chien and Pao had a good working relationship when he joined in 2007, but it devolved after Pao was made an investing partner around 2010, Chien said. That change was indicated in emails: Chien chafed at some of Pao's work decisions, writing to other partners things like "This constant Ellen bullshit really pisses me off," and "This is stupid shit. Why is she always positioning when I'm just trying to help the partnership source?"
Chien called the allegations in Pao's lawsuit including that he had declined to invite women to the Al Gore dinner because women "kill the buzz" "hurtful and untrue," and denied saying anything like that. Kleiner's attorneys also showed multiple emails where Chien invited Pao to join meetings and business discussions she was interested in.
Attorneys also dwelled on Chien's performance reviews, which characterized him as having "sharp elbows" and being "highly aggressive" and "harsh" – criticisms also leveraged against Pao, who did not receive the same promotion Chien did.
The trial, which comes at a time when the gender imbalance in Silicon Valley is under intense scrutiny, will likely stretch on for a month or more, with a witness list full of Kleiner's biggest names, including Aileen Lee, John Doerr, Mary Meeker, Randy Komisar, Matt Murphy, Ted Schlein and more.
It's surprising that the lawsuit is at trial at all, given how much of the firm's dirty laundry is likely to be aired, but both sides appear to have dug in their heels over the $16 million Pao is asking for. Earlier mediations were not successful. Testimony continues on Thursday, beginning with Sue Biglieri, who has been at the firm since 1989, and general partner Ted Schlein.

Al Gore’s cleantech fund joins forces with Silicon Valley’s leading VC
14 Nov 2007 | News
Science|Business Reporting
Generation Investment Management, the fund co-founded by former US Vice President Al Gore, is joining forces with Silicon Valley’s leading venture capital investorKleiner PerkinsCaufield & Byers (KPCB) in a global collaboration to support companies that can contribute to solving climate change.
The partnership will provide funding and business expertise to public and private companies, and to entrepreneurs. Gore, who is chairman of Generation Investment, will join KPCB as a partner, while KPCB will share Generation's offices in London and John Doerr, Partner at KPCB, will join Generation's advisory board.
Gore said, “This alliance brings together world-class business talent to focus on solving the climate crisis. Together, we have a working understanding of this urgent, multi-dimensional challenge and are resolved to help business and government leaders accelerate the development of sustainable solutions.”
The KPCB and Generation alliance combines the research expertise of two organisations with a track record of successful investments in public and private companies, from early stage to large capitalisation business. It aligns Gore, the KPCB Greentech Innovation Network and the Generation Advisory Board towards a common goal.
In addition, KPCB's presence in Asia and the US, combined with Generation's presence in the US, Europe and Australia, will support global scale solutions.
Doerr said the move “marks a turning point for climate entrepreneurs around the world. Generation and our new partner Al Gore will help innovators and entrepreneurs accelerate their business, technology and policy solutions for the most critical problem of our time.”
The collaboration is looking for opportunities spanning sectors such as renewable energy technologies, building efficiency, cleaner fossil energy, sustainable agriculture and carbon markets.
Generation co-founder and Managing Partner David Blood said, “There is a significant gap between the capital needed and the capital currently deployed to create enduring solutions to the climate crisis. To address this financing gap will require the efforts of many players, including entrepreneurial ventures, multinational businesses, governments, multilaterals and investors.”
Gore announced also that as part of the agreement between the two firms,his salary as a Partner at KPCB will be donated directly to the Alliance for Climate Protection, the non-partisan foundation he chairs that focuses on accelerating policy solutions to the climate crisis.
