He's REALLY talking about the fact that American and international banks covered for Epstein for over 30 years. They took his many, MANY wire transfers for all that time when they should have been reporting his suspicious activities.

Meanwhile Epstein got obscenely wealthy making transactions on behalf of wealthy men. Supposedly Epstein bought and sold works of art, and made other investments for the sole purpose of tax avoidance, and the bank transactions into Russia are especially skeevy because they couldn't be traced.

The western banks - JP Morgan Chase, Bank of America, BNY Mellon, and Deutsche Bank - finally did file SARs - Suspicious Activity Reports - for Epstein's activities, but it wasn't until after he was arrested in 2019. This has been the thrust of Senator Ron Wyden who is trying to get these bank SAR records for the Senate Banking Committee to review and hold a hearing.

It's possible that the wire transfer records may have nothing to do with Epstein trafficking young women.... But how will we know if the records are never made available?
