My timeline regarding Epstein and Ghislaine Maxwell and other connections:
Part II, 1/7. (See Part I here, all pb: >>9853529, >>9853535, >>9853543, >>9853551, >>9853559, >>9853564, >>9853571 )
1981: Epstein left Bear Stearns, likely due to an insider trading investigation by the Securities and Exchange Commission (SEC) involving Edgar Bronfman's Seagrams corporation. Bronfman had advised investors and bankers of their impending offer to another company. Epstein left Bear Stearns one day after the SEC began the investigation. After leaving Bear Stearns, he told a few friends at that time he had become a “bounty hunter,” working for the government or wealthy individuals recovering lost or stolen money, and that he was licensed to carry a firearm. The reality was a bit different, because this was exactly when the Iran Contra operation was taking place, and, it was at this very time Epstein claimed he was working for the CIA, something he later denied. One of his clients was Adnan Khashoggi, an Iran Contra weapons dealer, a Saudi, and uncle of Washington Post columnist Jamal Khashoggi, who was himself assassinated in later years. Adnan had procuted a $5 million loan for Israel and Iran to do their parts in the Iran Contra arms deals. Epstein was finding money, alright, and he was doing it working for a bank that was a CIA front for funneling money, BCCI. Khashoggi, "acted as the middleman for five Iranian arms dealers for the United States, financing a number of them through BCCI” and “served as the ‘banker’ for arms shipments as the undercover scheme developed.” He also worked for "the U.S. government in connection with the Iran-Contra affair in operations that involved the direct participation of CIA personnel banked at BCCI’s offices in Monte Carlo and, for both, BCCI’s services were essential as a means of providing short-term credit for sales from the U.S. through Israel to Iran.”

'''In fact, even Bear Stearns had been working with BCCI at that time as a broker."'
