Epstein and Madoff: The Magicians of Black Money

Epstein operated above political divisions. The illusion of left versus right is just a distraction—every party ultimately serves the same master. The media has deliberately narrowed the Epstein case to a scandal about young girls, but that is only the surface. In reality, Epstein functioned as a money-laundering machine for the ultra-wealthy, powerful financiers, intelligence services, and covert operations. The closer parallel is not with tabloid scandals but with Bernard Madoff. Both men moved and “cleaned” vast sums of black money. In Madoff’s case, it is impossible to explain how $70 billion simply vanished. The real question, never pursued in either case, is: why was nobody allowed to follow the money? If investigators had traced the flows, the entire network of beneficiaries and hidden power structures would have been exposed. Money, no matter how cleverly concealed, always leaves a trail—yet both Epstein and Madoff were treated as magicians whose tricks we were never permitted to unravel.
