5. OK, you're right - but Wall Street managers weren't required to look into that

Banks like JPMorgan were supposed to file their SARs - Suspicious Activity Reports - and they failed to file SARs for Epstein on several occasions.

This is something different, Epstein was a glorified sales rep while he worked for Bear-Stearns, but he was also someone who brought in new clients to the firm by handling their accounts. That means he functioned more like a partner in a law firm. There are rules and regulations on how the banks and law firms are supposed to operate, but not so much for the Wall Street guys.

Epstein got away with a shit-ton of stuff and never got caught while he worked for Bear-Stearns, that we know of.
