You know, but to be killed in a federal prison, in a maximum security federal prison, not
any Joe on the street could pull something like that off.
Who would have the ability to put that together?
Oh, you're kidding me.
Come on, man.
It gives me the impression that you're trying to say he's covering up for Trump, is what
you're saying.
Well, a lot of people have suggested that that's who ordered the hick.
He said that if he said what he knew about both candidates,
they'd have to cancel the election.
There'd be a revolution in this country.
Did you ever go to the island with him?
Did he ever take you to the island with him?
No, I was on that island once.
It would have been the highest bail ever in the United States.
What was the number?
But the highest bail at that point in time
was $100 million.
So you guys were willing to put on
more than a $100 million bail?
Yeah.
It's hard to make six figures.
It's harder to make a million.
Six, seven hundred million dollars?
How do you make that kind of money?
We make good investments.
Come on, Mark.
You don't give me naive vibes at home.
If Israel had access to that information, how much influence would they have to be able
to get U.S. politicians to do for Israel what Israel wants to be done for them?
If they had it, they would have influence. I just want to find out who had my brother killed.
And I want to find out why. Okay, we could work together.
So this is the first time I've ever done an interview with Mark Epstein, Jeffrey Epstein's
brother. After the interview is done, which is an hour and forty, hour and forty five minutes,
I think most of the interviews he's been doing has been twenty five to thirty minutes,
he leaves, we have a conversation, comes back to make sure I knew the definition of sex trafficking.
I don't know why. And we defined it on what sex trafficking is. That was interesting.
He was comfortable with that being in the discussion.
We talked about so many different things. We talked about a weird phone call he had with Jeffrey in 06
when he was being accused of having sex with underage girls where he made a phone call to
Mark versus brother. It's very revealing what he says. We talked about Masada agent. Is he a Masada
agent? What's his link to it? His impression of the many, many times he hung out with Jalain Maxwell, what was that
like?
One time he visited the island, his brother, and then many different names.
One name came up when I asked the question, I said, so if you're telling me family life
was good, very nice, charming, charismatic, mom and dad good family They raise good kids You don't one day learn the business model that your brother is being accused of of holding people hostage with the information that he has
And possibly tapes and trafficking and all this other stuff
Who taught him and a name came up of a mentor and we looked up the mentor and we'll go through the process as well
Together when you watch this entire podcast. Here's all I'll tell you some of the information you're gonna get with the news
Well, you know, this is the news and we have to cut it and then we show the picture
There is no cut of a new so what it looked like
if you're if you're fascinated and interested in this topic of
not only it not being a suicide or being a suicide of
What was his power why was he
feared why did Leon Black pay him a hundred and fifty three million dollars
for a state planning fee consulting services tax on estate planning I don't
know who's ever got a hundred fifty three million dollar we asked them
you're going to enjoy this podcast with that being, here's Mark Epstein, the only surviving relative
of Jeffrey Epstein, his younger brother by 18 months. Yeah, why would you bet on Goliath when we got bet David value taming giving values contagious this world entrepreneurs
We can't no value to hate it. I didn't run homie. Look what I become
So today we're sitting with the only surviving family member of Jeffrey Epstein Mark Epstein the younger brother of 18
Months mark. It's great to have you on the podcast. Thank you.
He's asked to not be on camera,
so you will not see his face.
I'll be speaking to me sitting right here in front of me.
Mark, there's a lot of things that we've all followed.
We all remember the news that came out,
month after your brother went to jail in July of 2019,
August 10th of 2019, boom, Jeffrey Epstein is dead.
And then stories started circulating,
but nobody would be more curious about what happened then
than probably you as his only brother, surviving relative.
What question was more important to you to get answered,
the how or the why?
Well, first let me make it clear that when I heard that he was dead the morning of the
10th, I heard it on CNN.
I was having breakfast and the television was on.
So the Justice Department didn't notify me as they claim.
Okay, I heard it on CNN, just like you did.
And at first I thought, well, I had no reason to doubt that he died by suicide.
He was in jail, potentially facing a long term in prison.
And I know he probably wouldn't want to do that.
So I accepted the fact that he committed suicide.
I had no reason to doubt it.
And I just figured that was his will.
So I don't want anyone to think that I'm a brother that doesn't want to believe that
he killed himself because I fully believed it at first.
And then the next day, they did the autopsy and the autopsy was performed by the city
pathologist. I had the right to have my own pathologist there so we hired Dr.
Michael Barton who's very well known. Same fellow that was on 60 Minutes.
Oh yeah, he's been around for... he was part of the team that did the autopsy on JFK.
He's in his 90s. He's been very active all the time.
So I hired him. I see you have a picture of him.
And he was there to witness the autopsy on my behalf.
And they came out of the autopsy room.
I was there at the medical examiner's office.
And the doctor, Dr. Roman and Dr. Barnan,
said they couldn't call it a suicide
because it looked too much like a homicide.
So that started raising questions
because if it was a suicide, it's usually pretty clear.
Okay, and then on the initial death certificate,
which we had to get in order to claim the body,
it said cause of death said pending further investigation.
Now, in speaking with many pathologists
or a few pathologists since,
usually when it says pending further investigation,
you don't get an answer for many weeks.
You have to get an initial death certificate
to get the body, so they put pending further investigation.
You know, if it was clearly a suicide, it was a suicide. So then a few days later,
the chief medical examiner, Barbara Sampson, who did not see the body, she claims it was a suicide.
Based on what? What investigating was done in those few short days?
No one's been able to come up with an answer.
When I met with the Justice Department people months later, and every question I asked them,
all they said was, after a thorough investigation, we determined it was a suicide.
I said, but what about this?
After a thorough investigation, we determined it was a suicide.
It was like when somebody pleads the fifth, you have to question after the fifth, and
that's what I was getting.
And Barbara Sampson has not given anybody an answer of how she made that determination.
Someone said she was basing it on the fact that she thought that there was a prior suicide
attempt, but that's been debunked.
We know that Jeffrey's cellmate at the time attacked him.
The cop that was facing four murders or whatever he had going on.
And he's just been convicted more recently of the four murders he was charged with.
So he didn't try to commit suicide.
Also, like the day later, he was put on suicide watch and pretty quickly taken off a suicide
watch because they realized it wasn't a suicide attempt.
So what was the determination by Barbara Sampson
that it was a suicide, what was that based on?
And then Bill Barr, the attorney general,
came out publicly, I saw it on television,
saying that he personally saw the videotape
that showed the door to the tier where Jeff Selle was,
because the camera in that tear
was not working for some reason. He saw the videotape and he said nobody went in or out of the
tear and that convinced him it was a suicide. And I heard that and red flags
went up. Number one I thought this is the Attorney General of the United States.
He's probably a pretty busy guy. Why is he personally watching his videotape?
He couldn't he have a couple of people in his office
watch the videotape and say, nobody went in or out?
Wouldn't that suffice?
So the fact that he said he personally watched it,
I thought that was bullshit.
And then he said, nobody went in or out,
and that convinced him it was a suicide.
Well, here's the chief law enforcement officer
in the United States,
who should have some
criminal investigative experience.
And any third rate investigator you talk to will tell you that if nobody went in or out,
all that means is that if Jeff was killed, the killer was already on the tier.
There were 11 or 12 other prisoners on the tier that night who could have technically,
theoretically killed them. They wouldn't have technically, theoretically killed him.
They wouldn't have to come in and around.
And to think that somebody could get to that door, go into the tear, kill somebody, and
leave completely undetected is asinine.
When I heard him say that, I thought, the thought that came in my mind was that he's
the dumbest fuck on the planet.
Bill.
Bill. Yeah, Bill Barr.
Because how could you say something like that?
Because to get to that door, you have to go through six levels of security.
Yeah, but it's either he's the dumbest person on planet, which we know he's not, or he thinks
the people are the dumbest people on the planet who will fall for it.
Right.
So I'm thinking that he's covering this up.
Right. Obviously a cover-up.
So then the question becomes, who is he covering up for?
Right.
Okay, and say, you know, what was his job?
Who did he work for?
Who is he covering up for?
And he can't be reached, he won't respond to anything.
And who do you think it is?
I've heard you say this, and the way you do it,
it gives me the impression that you're
trying to say he's covering up for Trump is what you're saying.
Well, a lot of people have suggested that that's who ordered the hit.
But they're not on good terms.
They're not, they don't even like each other.
Well, but if Trump did this, there would be an if that was the case, this was protected
under all kinds of national security laws and Bill Barr would be restricted from speaking
about it. Oh if if bill Barr
From from especially what happened two nights ago on the debate. I'm sure you watch a debate
Anybody who has any Intel bad Intel on Trump
Would be a hero today anybody
They would make him the man of the year
They would make him the person of the year to be correct,
because I know Time Magazine wouldn't like that.
We don't want him to be upset about saying man of the year.
But there's no way in the world,
the price of getting any dirt on Trump today
is gotta be the highest price
that people are willing to pay today.
So for me, when I think about, is Bill hiding that from him? I don't know. By the way, let's continue. A few other
things you said. Michael, please go forward. If this is the case,
that would be classified information. Okay, so Bill Barr would then be
guilty of divulging classified information. So maybe he wouldn't want
to take that risk. And I don't think he's looking for a financial payout. I don't think about financial payout. I think it's jobs. I think it's at that point, you know,
to you and I, we're businessmen and businessmen, we broker deals. We go in on this property. We buy
it for a hundred million dollars. We go 20% to this business. We put 50 million dollars, 25 you, 25 me.
Let's ask for the money back in three years. No, they want it back in seven years.
Let's negotiate four years.
Great.
We can push them to get the money back.
Let's put certain controls.
What's the rate of return?
We like to make four times on our money in like three to five years.
Okay.
It's very transactional and easy, right?
And the political side, it's jobs, it's favors, it's control, it's fame, it's communities to be a part of, titles,
Wikipedia resume, legacy, what I'm gonna be called,
who I'm sitting with, who I'm shaking cans with.
It's a very different game on how they negotiate.
I'm not in it, you're not in it,
but both of us could speculate
that that could possibly happen.
Well, another part of that is on that list of things
is fear, government employees, employees have fear of losing their position being threatened you and I if we're businessmen
We don't have that fear right because our fate is more in our own hand
Sure, so but other people are not as fortunate
so so that that one right there to me that goes out the window when I think about Bill Barr because
He would have a very, very promising career if he could
destroy Trump's career.
So that I set aside.
However, let's go back to this because I've heard you go through this many times.
I've watched a lot of your interviews and I think you do a very good job going through
it and I applaud you for being curious to want to find out what the hell happened to
your brother.
So a few things, okay, to just kind of go through.
One, the night of the suicide, the two security, they fell asleep, the guards, they fell asleep.
And as a result, we were asleep, we weren't there.
Somehow, someway the doors left open.
And then they falsified some of the information when they were putting the records there.
They get indicted.
The charges are dropped because they decided to cooperate,
and all of a sudden nothing happens to them,
and then we find this noose that, yeah,
you know, they had to cut the noose,
and Rob, if you can pull up this picture,
you've seen this before for,
and even 60 minutes, as nothing looks like it's been cut.
Yeah, if you look at the long,
if you can zoom in on the long end of that noose,
that's a sewed hemmed edge.
That's right.
Nothing's been cut.
So what did they...
And even on that edge,
if it was tied to something,
the guy's weight hanging on it,
it would be creased.
It'd be signs that it has been tied to something.
That's just not the case here.
And even Michael Button,
when he talked to 60 Minutes,
when they said the typical consequences of
you commit suicide and you're hanging yourself, what breaks versus the three cartilages that
broke, that is not a sign of somebody that committed suicide.
No, it's interesting because Batten said he's never seen three breaks like this.
Another pathologist I've been talking to recently sent me a report, a study that was done on
those kind of breaks in suicidal hangings.
First of all, it's called an incomplete hanging because part of your body is still on the ground,
just feet were on the ground. Complete hanging is when you're just dangling from the neck.
So the study was done on these kind of breaks and the study was done in the Philippines, and they found that in 25% of the suicidal deaths like that,
about one or two bones get broken in about 25% of the cases.
There was no mention of three breaks
in a study that was done about the broken bones
and suicidal hangings.
So this stands out as an outlaw.
Anomaly. Yes.
For something like this to happen, yeah. Now, that kind of a wound on the neck So this stands out as an outlaw. Anomaly. Yes.
For something like this to happen.
Yeah.
Now that kind of a wound on the neck is more from what I'm also finding out from military
people is more consistent with a karate chop to the neck.
And that seems to be the way they quickly and quietly kill people is they karate chop
in the neck and then usually spin their head to break the neck.
Like you see in the movies, by the way, to assassinateinate somebody but they couldn't break his neck because that would be obvious
so in this case it looks like
He might have got the karate chop because that's that discombobulates you and it
Capacitates you and so you can't really fight back very well
And then it looks like he was strangled and if you look at the other photos of that I sent there's a groove in his neck
Look at the other photos that I sent. There's a groove in his neck that stayed in his neck,
which they were able to determine that he was dead
for at least two hours before he was found.
If you can see that picture.
He was dead for at least two hours before he was found.
Definitely at least.
We'll put that in post-production.
Yeah, because- If you have that, Rob,
to show it, I'd love to see it.
I mean, I could send it to you if you don't have that.
Because if you strangle somebody and you let them lie there, the skin will flatten out
because you have internal cell pressure, the tissues are still supple.
So it won't, you may get some abrasion on the skin from whatever was used, but the groove,
in order for the groove to stay in your neck, it takes at least two hours.
This way, the skin dries out, it will hold that form.
So he was dead for at least two hours.
Now, in more recent studying the photograph,
Jeffrey is relatively clean shaven,
which nobody noticed before.
And in prison, they shower and shave
Monday, Wednesday, and Friday afternoons.
So he was found at six something in the morning.
So if he was dead for just two hours, that means he died at 430 roughly.
So if he shaved in the afternoon, he'd have a 10, 12 hour stubble on his face because
your beard stops growing when you die.
He doesn't.
It looks like he died much earlier in the night because he doesn't have a very heavy
stubble on his face.
Now you mentioned the two guards.
Another important thing is that Michael Thomas, one of the guards, he came on shift at midnight.
The tier was locked up at 10 o'clock.
So he wasn't there when the tier was locked.
And there's never ever just one
guard there. The other guard, Tova Noel, she was on shift and there's mention in some reports
of an unnamed guard number one and an unnamed guard number two, who was there when they
locked up the tear. Who are those guards? Why are they unnamed? Can't find out.
That's why I asked this. At this point, who is convinced this is suicide?
I don't know many people that are convinced this is suicide.
Nobody I've spoken to.
Nobody who's looked at all the facts.
Who in the media is saying this was suicide?
Even at the media side.
Because even 60 minutes where, you know, put in wherever you want politically, left, right and center.
By the time I was done watching it, 60 minutes wouldn't necessarily be a center or writing.
I would say they're more left, you know, organization.
They've always leaned more towards left.
Even they left it open.
And why would they leave it open?
Why would you create those types of level of speculation for the audience?
I don't think the government or the people of power
or say the establishment would be happy
with that kind of a position for 60 minutes to take.
So who right now says this was suicide?
Well, nobody really.
Just as we speak, recently a new panel was put together
of forensic pathologists, all well-respected people,
and they're reviewing or going to be reviewing
the autopsy reports and the photographs
and all the facts that we have.
Five years later.
Five years later.
That was done by, I've been talking to a number
of journalists and there's a few journalists
who are pretty convinced also that it wasn't a suicide.
But I've been also sticking to facts.
I don't like to speculate.
That's why even mentioning the thing with Trump
is speculation and that's why I've been reluctant
to bring that up.
You brought it up, so I addressed it.
But factually-
No, I didn't bring it up.
You brought it up and you said,
Bill Barks, I had heard you say it before multiple times
and you said, I don't know who he's protecting
and I said, I've heard you say that before.
Are you speculating that it could be
he's protecting the Trump because they're not on good terms because the audience could kind of go to a place
Right and assume that's what you're saying. That's what I meant by that. Yeah
Well, yeah for you since you mentioned the name I addressed right in the interviews
I'm not the one to I get up his name because that's speculation and I don't want to speculate
I want to stick with fact, but but so what's more important to you?
Mark is it is it more the how or the why?
The who.
Because it wasn't a suicide.
Nobody thinks it was a suicide.
So who had him killed?
The why is someone got in and strangled him.
That's the how.
There's no mystery there.
OK, so the how check, we know it is not suicide. Let's set that aside.
Go to the why is your other question. The why would obviously be to shut him up.
He had a lot of information.
He had a lot of information on people.
Yeah.
Okay, such as?
Well, I don't know. Jeff and I were not that close.
He would tell me funny stories, things that we did, and I would keep him abreast with family news.
I hadn't seen him for a number of years before he died, but we were always in touch via email
or phone calls.
So he would tell me funny stories.
But I said publicly before in 2016, we were talking about the election, just I asked him
what he thought was going to take place between, you know, Hillary and Trump.
And he didn't tell me what he knew.
But he said that if he said what he knew about both candidates, they'd have to cancel the
election.
That was a quote.
I said, I don't know what he knew.
And he wouldn't just say that to me to impress me in any way, shape or form.
You know, obviously he knew something.
And he made that comment.
So you said you guys, I think the number you said is we didn't see each
other for the last seven years of his life or something like that, right?
Yeah.
How far did you guys live from each other?
Was it?
Well, we both have different homes in different cities.
Okay.
And so we were not necessarily in the same city very often and New York City.
Uh, I live downtown.
He lives uptown and in New New York City that's like two different
worlds but it's brothers seven years like there's no reunion there's no let's
break bread there's no no we had two different lifestyles two different
groups of friends but we were in touch you know so it wasn't a need to see each
other I know what I knew what he looked like I didn't need to see him so so when
when let's go to the why on the information that you're thinking you
know a story just came out I think four days ago I'm sure why on the information that you're thinking. You know, a story just came out, I think, four days ago.
I'm sure you saw the story that came out four days ago.
Maybe not, they don't watch everything.
Okay, so let me just read it to you.
So, Jeffrey Epstein's ex says he boasted
about being a Mossad agent.
Okay, let me read this story to you.
I don't know if you've seen this or not.
So-
Which ex is this?
So, Jane Doe is her name.
Jane Doe 200, a former girlfriend and victim, is suing Jeffrey Epstein's state,
alleging he boasted of being a Mossad agent and raped her. Epstein and
Jalaine Maxwell hinted at the intelligence ties with Maxwell warning
it was not good to be Epstein's enemy despite appearing kind. Epstein exhibited explosive uncontrollable anger toward others, dole believed that she
was in a committed relationship with Epstein unaware he was abusing underage girls elsewhere.
Epstein integrated into her life making grand promises and introductions to influential
people.
However, in 2001, he violently raped her at his Manhattan mansion leading her to fear
reporting him due to claimed
Massad connections. This is
Four days ago five days ago. What's today's date today's a 30th or the 29th today's a 29th five days ago
Did you have any speculation that your brother may be working for the Massad? None zero zero
So it wasn't like, you know, hey, Mark, you know, and I, you know, there's a lot of things
that I'm doing and, you know, I'm working on a few things.
Nothing was ever brought up.
No, we didn't really talk about what he was working on.
It was sort of like a joke whenever I would talk to him.
I was asking, I said, you know, what are you doing?
Just a normal question.
And he would tell me, well, you know, I'm in Paris.
Next time I'd say, what are you doing?
Because I'm on the island.
So it became a sort of like the equivalent
of what are you doing to where are you?
I don't know if he even realized he was doing it,
but to me it became a joke.
I'd ask him what are you doing?
He'd tell me where he was.
Do you think if,
do you think if you, there's missing pieces to getting to the bottom of some information,
right? And you know, I'm sure, I don't know if you're a movie guy or not, you like movies.
I like movies, yeah.
Okay, you ever seen the movie American Gangster with Russell Crowe and Denzel Washington?
Yes, yeah.
Okay, remember when Russell Crowe is trying to figure out who the hell is this guy that's
selling blue magic, right?
And he's sitting in the room and he's got all these faces.
He thinks it's, you know, Armando, you know, Assante, he's the guy, whatever the actor's
name is in the movie.
No, it's not.
It's, it's, it's Barnes.
It's this, it's that.
And then all of a sudden he realized, holy shit, it's Frank Lucas who's selling blue
magic.
And then he catches, you he catches the mistake with the coat
that his wife gets him and then goes to a boxing match.
Why is he sitting there?
Why is everybody saying hello to him?
And then they figured it out, right?
Do you think for someone like you as your brother,
is it more important to you for the world
to know who killed him?
Or is it more important for you specifically to know?
Because would you be happy if like, let's just say, you know, I don't know how old you
are in early 50s, mid 50s, I don't know your age, but you're young.
I'm 69.
60, you're 69?
Yeah.
You look great.
You can't see him.
I can see him.
He looks great, right?
And that's without makeup for camera, by the way.
I offered it to him.
He said, no, he doesn't want it.
And you know, it's okay.
But you're 69 years old.
With today's technology, you got 20, 30, 40 years left
to live, right?
Still got a lot of living to do.
40 would be pushing.
40, who knows?
Depending on what some of the things Ilan's working on,
maybe 50 years left to live, right?
But the point is you got a lot of living to do.
Would you be happy, content, living your life, knowing if only one person knew who killed
him, which is you, and nobody else?
Would you be content with that?
Well, it's not really for me.
It's sort of like if he was killed, somebody shouldn't get away with that.
Because for me, my brother's dead.
He's not coming back no
matter what I find out. But I think people should know the facts.
But I think the reason why I'm asking that question is, would you be willing to work
with anybody to find out and be involved on who was potentially behind it? Would you support being able to give intel information
in any possible way to get to the bottom of who killed him?
Would you be open to that idea?
Well, I'd help, but I don't have any information
that could help.
Like I said, Jeff and I weren't on a daily basis close,
and I don't know what he was working on.
I don't know most of the people he dealt with had no idea he had a brother.
I've met people who were surprised
when I said that Jeffrey was my brother, including Bill Clinton.
I met Bill Clinton and I told him to Jeffrey is my brother.
He was kind of shocked. He didn't know.
No. Yeah.
Got it.
And the meeting had nothing to do with Jeffrey.
Yeah.
The meeting had nothing to do with. When I met Bill Clinton, it had nothing to do with. Got it. Got it. And the meeting had nothing to do with Jeffrey. Yeah. The meeting had nothing to do?
Yeah, when I met Bill Clinton, it had nothing to do with Jeffrey. Got it. Yeah, but I mean, you know,
I get you saying that and, you know, everybody's kids are gonna have certain abilities that they
picked up from their parents and then things that they go learn on their own from other people they work with, right?
You know, Trump's kids, you see how Junior speaks.
I'm around Baron and I kind of watch Baron,
very similar to his dad.
Ivanka, maybe he's got a little bit more mom
and a little bit of dad.
And then you kind of watch the kids on how they are. A lot of
parents and in themselves, right? The same goes for a lot of different families, okay?
You see the Kennedys similarities, you know, Joseph being a guy at the top, there's a lot of
power that's coming in from Joseph with his sons, oldest son dies in war.
He was going to be the president.
He goes through depression.
You know, youngest ends up becoming a president.
That's the last guy they thought that was going to be president because he had back
problems and all these other issues, but he ends up becoming it.
But all of them, certain habits, women, all this stuff that they have, right?
Robert Maxwell, I'm sure, you know, Robert Maxwell,
the things he was involved with,
matter of fact, if you've never seen the movie Tetris,
I don't know if you've seen the movie Tetris or not.
Not that one.
I think you would enjoy Tetris.
He's in Tetris, negotiating with Russia
on how he wanted to get the rights to Tetris to buy
and they're offering this $3 million, $5 million,
and you kind of see, and then Robert Maxwell's daughter, Jelaine, boom and he was a media tycoon
and then you and Jeffrey, I watched some of his interviews, I watched how you
speak, what were some of the values mom and dad taught when it comes down to
having each other's back? Was it, hey, we always have each other's back,
it's Epstein's first, family this,
was it those types of values mom or dad
passed down to you guys or no?
Now first of all, in making the comparisons,
Jeff and I were not very much like our father.
He was a simple, not a businessman,
just a nice, good, quiet, content guy.
Really? Yeah, yeah.
And my mother was more the dominant parent or more parenting.
Was she in business?
No.
She was just a good mother.
She was just a good mother?
Good, loving mother.
Yeah.
And was it like loyalty, have each other's back, defend each other?
Was it those kinds of values?
Well, just we came from a close family.
We had a lot of family around and it was just a normal, happy kind of family situation.
None of us had much to start with.
And both of you guys, both of you ended up making money, right?
You've done good for yourself and he had, you know, the estimations of how much he had
with his estate.
Where did that drive towards the money come from?
How did that happen?
Was it a competitiveness? Was
it somebody in the life that influenced it? No, it wasn't competitiveness because if we
could help each other, we always would. It wasn't competitive. We would talk that we'd
be able to get whatever we wanted, not because somebody would give it to us, but we would
sort of raise to have the confidence that we could figure out what we wanted and figure
out how to go about doing it and going after something. So we were raised
to be very independent and very confident. Got it. Okay. So and then you
said the last seven years you guys have spent a lot of time with each other. I'm
assuming from a year and a half, my sons are a year and a half apart to be exact,
similar to yours, similar to you and your brother. Okay
They're their best of buddies
They're you know, they'll fight they'll do all this stuff
You know all these things that have happened and then God forbid a one doesn't see the other one for a day
They're bitching about it, right? I'm like what happened? I thought you wanted your own room
I thought you wanted to do this and that relationship how close were you guys when you guys were?
Well, we were very close. Years ago when we were younger men, we used to speak just about
every day. But then life goes on and you go, I had a family, I was more concentrating on
raising children. Jeff was doing his stuff and we stayed in touch, but just there wasn't
any reason to get together anymore. If something would happen, we would get together.
No similar interests, no Yankees, no Mets, no Knicks, no baseball cards, no collectibles,
paintings, art.
No, we were both into music, but in different ways.
Like I said, we had some mutual friends from the old days, which occasionally we'd see,
but most of the people we were close to left New York.
So there was no reason why everyone would get together in New York anymore.
And like I said, he was traveling the world in his directions. I was in mine, but we stayed
in touch.
Was there any time where you're kind of like, hey, as a brother to say, hey, man, you know,
some of the stories I'm hearing in the market, you know, be careful, you know, what you're
getting yourself into, you know, and how you're doing this. Was there any kind of conversations
with the two of you guys or no?
No, because that was his world and I knew he could do it, take care of himself in his
world and he knew I could take care of himself in his world
and he knew I could take care of myself in my world.
So it wasn't that kind of a relationship
where feedback's being given to each other,
it's just brotherly love.
Yeah, and just laughing a lot.
Got it, so when you see these stories,
because it's not like the stories,
it just recently happened,
the stories have been happening linked to your brother
for a very long time.
It's not like a brand spanking new stories.
Okay, he's being linked to this, linked to that.
How did you process that?
Was it like, hey, Jeff, was this stuff true?
Well, what happened in 2006, okay,
when he first got into trouble,
I was in the city, New York City, he was in this,
he asked me to come see him.
So I was uptown and I went to his place.
And he told me that he was getting into trouble.
He wanted me to hear it from him.
I didn't know anything was happening up until that point.
Then he told me that he was getting in trouble
because he was with women that were too young.
He told you that?
He told me that.
It's because he wanted me to hear it from him.
So instead of hearing it on the news.
So that's how I found out about it.
And what was the reaction? It's like, okay, we'll talk later or?
Well, honestly, I said to him, I said, I'm glad mom's dead because I know this news would have killed her.
I'm glad mom's dead.
Yeah, because if my mother was, she had died two years prior, you know, and if she was still alive, I know this news would have killed her.
Was Pop still around or no? He passed away back in 91.
Okay, got it.
So this is 06, 04, so mom passed away in 04?
Yeah, it was two years ago.
Wow, got it.
So that's how I found out about it.
And what was his reaction when he said that?
He understood.
And then from there, you're somebody that, you know,
gives me the vibes that you're going to get the
answer to any question that you want where you're not gonna just sit there and
be like yeah suicide shit lost my brother okay I'm gonna trust the
government it's suicide and move on right
well no if it was truly a suicide look if they if they came out of the autopsy
and said yeah this was clearly suicide well. Look, if they came out of the autopsy and said, yeah, this was clearly suicide, well,
I would have mourned the loss of my brother and then gone on with my life.
Because like I said, I had assumed that it was a suicide, because that's what I heard
on the news.
And I said, at that moment, I had no reason to doubt it and looking at the bigger picture.
But on the other hand, after the fact, you know, what's not really made public is that
when Jeff was first arrested in July,
his attorneys called me up and he told me he was arrested.
Jeff called me from Paris, it was a Thursday night.
It's just a normal, how you're doing phone call.
And then the next day he flew home and he got arrested.
So that was the last conversation I ever had with him
was that phone call from Paris.
And then he's arrested, his attorneys called me a couple of days later, told me that he
was arrested.
And they asked me if I would participate in his bail because it helps if other people
participate.
And I said, sure, put up my house in Florida for bail for him.
Because I know he wasn't a flight risk and he's my brother.
I was helping him out.
And most people then were, well, who's this brother?
Because now I'm became public that he had this brother putting up a house.
Then I had everybody trying to find dirt on me, because trying to link me to his activities
and they were writing things that were not true about me.
I was getting death threats.
I had Ohio armed guards for a while.
And then a few weeks later, obviously he didn't get bail. He was in jail.
A few weeks later, they were going to appeal the decision for bail. And his attorneys called
me up again. And Jeff was putting up a lot of money for bail. And they asked me if I
would guarantee his entire bail, in essence doubling it. And I said, yes, I will. So between
his bail assets and my guaranteeing it, and another friend was putting up assets,
it would have been the highest bail ever in the United States up to that point.
I Googled it to see what the highest bail was.
What was the number?
But the highest bail at that point in time was $100 million.
So you guys were willing to put on more than a $100 million bail?
Yeah.
Yeah.
Well, you're not spending it.
I totally get it, but there's still risk to it. Yeah, but I didn't really see just, you're not spending it. It's-
I totally get it, but there's still risk to it.
Yeah, but I didn't really see those risks.
And you know-
It's your brother.
It's my brother.
So I agreed.
So the hearing for the bail appeal
was coming up in a few days.
I wasn't aware of the dates.
I wasn't that close to the details.
You know, he was dealing with his attorneys.
This wasn't my thing.
But I found out that the hearing
was coming up in a few days. Now the question becomes,
why would he kill himself before that bail hearing? Because if he got bail with what
would have been the then highest bail ever, right? He'd be living in his house in the
city on 71st street, which was a pretty nice house. You know, he'd have an ankle monitor
on he'd have armed guards to make sure he didn't disappear,
he had cameras all over the place,
but he'd be living in his house,
waiting for a trial a year later.
Is that what prompted the fact that, no,
they took this guy out for a reason?
Well, this was just part of the, you know,
why would he kill himself then?
I could understand more if he had the hearing,
and bail was denied again,
and then he's facing, spending a year in jail,
waiting for a trial.
Then I could see if he wanted to take himself out,
take yourself out.
Look, he didn't have any children to worry about.
Our parents were gone.
He knew he didn't have to worry about me.
So if he decided to take himself out,
I would have just accepted that as his decision.
Yeah, so you see that valid.
By the way, what that tells me is that there is true love,
brotherly love for each other, for you to be willing to put up the money where it's...
Are you following the story of this guy? Rob, what's the guy's name that is being accused of
killing these two girls? And he said, I drove over one of the girls until she was a spaghetti.
You know what I'm talking about? No, I haven't heard that.
Have you been following with the tattoos on the side of his lips?
He looks like the Joker.
You know who he is.
This is like the...
He's all over the place.
I haven't heard.
Wow.
Sorry.
No, not that guy.
Have you guys seen this or no?
Humberto, have you seen this or no?
No.
Okay, so I got to show you this.
Wade Wilson. That's his name.
Go to Wade Wilson.
So Wade Wilson, he's on trial.
This guy picks up two girls, kills both of them.
One of them, he says he drove over so many times
until her body was like a spaghetti,
like noodles, and then his father is testifying.
So his father had him, his father's ex had him
when he was 15 years old, the father was 15 years old.
So it's just one of those things, wasn't planned young,
you kind of have the kid, and he's not in the picture,
so the relationship's not the best.
And the father is being asked,
so when he called, what did he tell you?
He says, yeah, my son called me
and he said he killed somebody.
I said, really?
And then what did he say?
He says, that's when I was on the phone,
I had him on speaker
and my wife was listening to the conversation.
And then what did you do?
And the father is not defending the son.
You can tell there is no support and affinity
between the father and the son, right?
If a father doesn't defend the son,
what else do you need to do?
I mean, at this point of the game, it's over with, right?
No one's gonna sit there and think you're innocent.
You're defending your brother.
And a lot of bad things have been said about your brother
and the things that he's done, right?
But I'm not defending him criminally.
No, not defending him criminally.
You're defending his bill to sell,
I'll put it up money-wise instead of saying,
don't bother me, kind of go mind your own business,
go find somebody else.
I don't have any relationship with the guy.
A brother that doesn't have a good relationship
with the brother wouldn't put up the bill.
Would you agree with that?
Yeah, yeah, that makes sense.
So this takes me back to the question I was asking you. So when he calls you and he says, hey, Mark, I'm going to get in trouble because
there's some things in 06 with young girls and you say, I'm glad mom is not no longer with us
because she had died two years prior to that. And then stuff pops up in the public. Did you ever
want to go do your own due diligence and research to find out what really Jeffrey was up to that maybe he wasn't fully disclosed and everything, or you were not that curious
to want to investigate your own brother?
Well, I knew he had really good attorneys to do that.
As much as I love my brother, I also believe in you make your bed, you sleep in it.
So it was his problem.
He seemed to be dealing with it.
When I spoke with him, he wasn't way bent out of shape. I'm not a criminal investigator. Like what would you suggest I could have done?
I don't know what would be on that list.
Oh, no, I'm not suggesting anything.
Look, I mean, a simple question would be,
do you think,
I mean, I'm not a criminal investigator.
I'm not a criminal investigator.
I'm not a criminal investigator.
I'm not a criminal investigator.
I'm not a criminal investigator.
I'm not a criminal investigator. I'm not Oh, no, I'm not suggesting anything.
Look, I mean, a simple question would be,
do you think, did you ever go to the island with him?
Did he ever take you to the island with him?
No, I was on that island once in 2000
at the millennial new year, the Y2K.
I was in the Virgin Islands sailing around
and I stopped at his island.
Just, he told me to see what he bought
because he didn't fix the place up yet.
He had just bought it.
I don't remember what year he bought it,
but he didn't build it out yet.
So I went to see what he had there.
And he wasn't there at the time.
So I just went to see what he bought.
Oh, so he wasn't even at the place.
When I was there, no.
Was Jelaine at the place?
No.
Just the caretakers were there.
The caretakers were there.
So you were never there when there was a party
and with the girls and all this.
No, we didn't hang out together.
We didn't socialize together.
When you heard all the news and the accusations
that all these, hey, you know,
Bill Clinton was flight log is this.
And you see the flight log list
with all these famous names that you hear about.
I mean, you've seen the names.
I don't need to tell you the names.
So many powerful people that actually went to the island.
Do you sit there and say, yeah, you know,
he probably did some stuff he shouldn't have done
and he's probably guilty of it,
some of the things that he would have done.
Well, he told me he was getting in trouble
for being with girls that were too young.
He didn't deny that, you know, so I figured he was,
you know, he was sort of accepting the fact
that he was with girls.
Now, whether or not he knew they were too young,
again, I'm not trying to defend him,
but people are telling me that girls have said
that they were told to tell him that they were of age,
that they weren't underage.
This is again, I like to stick with facts,
so this is secondhand information,
but journalists who have spoken to some of the girls
have said that they were told
not to tell him the true age.
When you went into the house, did you see any famous paintings like, you know, the Bill Clinton painting people are talking about?
I didn't see that painting now.
Oh, you didn't see it? Because this is 2000. Maybe it took a lot longer to paint that painting.
Yeah, I don't know when it was.
It's a legendary painting. So, okay.
The Diddy case, are you following the Diddy case at all?
No, not whatsoever, no.
You're not a big Diddy guy?
I'm not interested.
You don't listen to hip hop?
You're not a hip hop guy?
No, I mean I like some music,
but I'm not interested in Diddy.
Okay, well let me kind of give you
why I'm bringing the Diddy case,
which is kind of interesting,
is the claims against Diddy by maybe Gene Deal,
his former bodyguard that was with him all the time,
or some of these other names that are coming
and making acclaims, Jaguar, right, and all this stuff.
And all of a sudden, boom, they're raiding his Miami home
and his LA home, right?
Okay.
And, you know, I go back and I sit there and say,
well, if you went to a Diddy party,
he had cameras everywhere, he recorded everything.
So what if he's got videos on all these other people?
And if he's got these videos,
they're worried that what if Diddy decides
to leak those videos?
And what if Diddy got so much power with these videos
that he's negotiating it to get full protection
and he's kind of pushing the weight a little bit too much.
And hey, man, you just crossed the line
and you're not as powerful as you think you are
because these videos that you have in these tapes
we can really destroy your life.
Well, if you do, and then you think,
well Epstein who had all these parties
and maybe people that went to his place
and everybody wonders, you know,
how did Epstein even make his money?
You know, your impression of the guy, you know, how did Epstein even make his money? You know, your impression of the guy, you know,
being a billionaire, six, $700 million,
what is your impression of how your brother made his money?
Cause he made a lot of money.
He made a lot of money.
Well, he started on Wall Street when he was young.
And he started on Wall Street when-
He was a math teacher before, right?
Or something like that.
Yeah, he taught math in the school in New York City.
Well, he was very good at math, let's just put it that way.
And he was on Wall Street in the days
when Wall Street was like the Wild West.
And there was a lot of corruption going on.
I remember we were still living in Brooklyn
and he started on Wall Street and he came home one day,
this gotta be the probably the late
70s when he started and he said to me, I'll never forget, he said if the
general population knew what was taking place on Wall Street, there'd be a
revolution in this country. That's a direct quote from him in the late 70s.
In the late 70s? Yeah, when he started on Wall Street. You know, he was like the
youngest partner on Wall Street when he became a partner in Bear Stearns.
Got it. Yeah.
And all the corruption going on.
He looks like a skinny Lou Ferrigno here.
I don't know if you know who, does he not?
Am I like the only one? Absolutely.
Put a Lou Ferrigno next to him, he looks like a Lou Ferrigno twin.
That's why I'm laughing, because it's so true.
Hyping Young, yeah.
Oh my God, he looks just like Lou Ferrigno.
No relation, right? No. type and young yeah yeah oh my god he looks just like Lou Freig no no relation right you guys no yeah wow that was a little too close look at that that is wild very perceptive on your part
yeah so okay so late 70s he says if the market knew how much corruption there is if the population
knew how much corruption what was taking place on wall street there'd be a revolution did he ever
break it down and kind of give you
some ideas or not really?
Yeah, yeah, he gave me it for instance.
What was some of the?
Well, one instance I remember he said in the old days,
before they changed things, a broker would buy
say a million dollars worth of stock in the morning
and then he'd maybe sell it at the end of the day.
If the stock went up, he would then apportion it
to the clients he liked.
If the stock went up, he'd say, okay, I bought $200,000 for client A, $200,000 for different
people and they'd get the gains.
If the stock went down for some reason, he can give the losses to whoever he wanted to
give the losses to.
That's been changed.
I understand now, well, brokers are not really around like they used to be.
Everybody's doing their own work.
Then when they changed it, when the broker bought the stock in the morning, he had to
declare then who he was buying it for.
So that if the stock went up or the stock went down, those people got the gain or the
loss.
He couldn't then give the gains to his friends and the losses to his enemies.
So that was like just one simple example of what used to take place.
Anything else he told you or no?
Well, yeah.
Then he actually hooked up with an attorney and they started going after brokers that
were ripping people off.
I remember there was one case, I don't know who the client was, but the guy gave a broker
$3 million to invest.
After a number of trades, the money was gone.
The broker basically said, well, we made 10 trades and they all lost. Now, Jeffrey was a mathematician. And he knew that statistically, it's almost impossible
to lose 10 trades in a row, just like it's almost impossible to win 10 trades in a row, like the odds
are kind of the same. So when he sees that every trade was a loss, you know, even if you did it
randomly, you're going to get some gains. So then they started to look digging into this and they found that there was a lot more
trades made and money was mishandled and they would go after the broken, reclaim money.
And whatever monies they reclaimed for the investors, they got 50% off.
So they made a lot of money reclaiming money that was basically stolen from investors.
This is what used to take place. So that's, so that's, so what, what was, but I mean,
all of that stuff is great, but Mark, to go from half a million here,
a million here, two million here, three million here,
five million there, 10 million there, it's hard to make six figures.
It's harder to make a million. It's harder to make 10 million.
Six, seven hundred million dollars? How do you make that kind of money? You make a million. It's harder to make 10 million. Six, seven hundred million dollars.
How do you make that kind of money?
He made good investments.
Do you know anyone the best investments he ever made?
That he made? I don't know anyone particularly. I know, I know, we didn't talk too much about
it, but I know at one point in time he owned, or was one of the owners, if not the owner,
of the company that made football helmets. I think it was Rydell. You know, they make
all the sports team helmets.
He bought that company, they were in trouble or something
and eventually sold it and made a lot of money with that.
I don't know the details of it,
but I know he sent me a helmet,
so I knew that he actually had the company.
Who is this one guy that we did two stories on?
The one billionaire that said he paid $120 million
of consulting fee to Jeffrey Epstein.
Oh, that was black.
Yeah, that's black, right?
Yeah, because I heard that on the news also.
Yeah, Leon Black.
Can you go up and just put Leon Black and put Epstein?
Leon Black Epstein.
For estate planning is what I remember.
Estate planning, he said he spent some,
there it is, okay.
Billionaire paid Jeffrey Epstein $158 million
for tax and estate planning.
Look, you're smart, okay?
And I would use the word astute. You're smart, okay?
And I would use the word astute.
Who the hell has ever spent $158 million on estate planning services?
I just did estate planning.
And I know some of these estate planners
that are the high-end estate planners
that deal with billionaires.
I was at an event a few weeks ago,
only 60 billionaire families were invited.
I was there myself. We're at a Goldman Sachs event,
it's in Chicago, it was a very intimate event.
And even those guys use similar state planners
that you go through and you can do unique ways of doing it,
the revocable life insurance trust, the I-LITs,
all this stuff that you do.
Okay.
You want the world to believe Leon Black gave Epstein 158 million honors
just for tax on estate planning services?
If you're enjoying this interview
as much as I enjoyed doing it when I was sitting with them,
you may want to go order the shirt allegedly,
because the word allegedly is used a lot in an interview like this,
and it's right here. You can order the shirt.
Last time we launched the allegedly shirt,
sold out in no time, and trust me, it's right here you can order the shirt last time we launched the allegedly shirt sold out in no time and trust me it's very
interesting the looks you get when you're in the airport at the gym you got
a shirt on that says allegedly people will come and smile at you laugh at you
but many times they'll say where did you get the shirt from so pause the video
place your order and then go back to the interview take care of money I don't not
asking the world to believe anything do you you believe that? Do I believe it? I have no reason to doubt it.
Jeffrey was dealing with large sums of money for people. Look, if he saved the
guy a billion dollars, I don't know, I'm just speculating. Right. And reluctant.
Totally fine. No, no, it's totally fine. But if he saved the guy a billion dollars or the
company a billion dollars, well that doesn't seem like an unreasonable fee.
Can I give you another business model? Sure. Give me as many as you want.
Let's just kind of, you know, since we're in business,
maybe here's another business model.
Another business model could be, hey, Leon, OK,
I'll give you a crazy story.
I've been the life insurance business for 20 years, OK?
20-some years.
And you haven't tried to sell me a policy yet?
Not yet.
No, no, no.
Believe it or not, I stopped selling a while ago.
But we sold the agency two years ago.
Matter of fact, today is what day?
29th, tomorrow is the last day of my earn out of two years.
So it's been great.
And we increased EBITDA 78%, it's been good numbers.
They're happy, everybody's happy.
It's been a very nice exit.
But early on in my career, I'm 25 years old and I hear this story about
this one insurance executive, rock star, very good at what he was doing, climbing
up, he's gonna make millions, very good on stage, great communicator, doing very
good, married, three kids, I think I want to say he's Asian, Filipino,
not that that detail matters or not,
but guys are telling horror stories
to kind of get you from not making any mistakes.
So one day he hires this young Asian girl
that starts working with them to become an insurance agent.
They go on appointments, one appointment,
second appointment, third appointment.
After the third appointment,
she invites him back to her place. He says, no appointment, third appointment. After the third appointment, she invites him
back to her place.
He says, no, I can't.
He says, no, let's just go back.
It's right here, we can just go here
and you can show me some of the stuff
on the needs analysis we did.
Let's just go back.
Goes back, they go to her place,
one glass of wine, second glass of wine.
They end up in the bedroom and trust know trust the science, science takes over right and extracurricular activities etc etc he
leaves, goes home, doesn't see her for a week. A week later a package shows up.
Back in the days was VHS, takes the VHS, puts the VHS, shows everything that
happened with a note saying if you don't give me
this much money and wire it to this account, this is going to be sent to your family, this is going
to be sent to the company, and this is going to be sent to all your agents. The guy panics,
doesn't know what to do, sends the money. She still sends the tapes.
Destroys his life, destroys everything, but he made the decision.
That's in the insurance industry,
and it's only for $100,000.
Now, can we speculate and say,
what if your brother had some real dirt
on Leon Black to say, hey, Leon, here's what I got, bro.
And listen, we can go have a nice Bordeaux bottle of wine
and have some high-end Japanese wagyu beef
with full-grind sea urchin and whatever we wanna have
and it's all cool.
But dude, you need to wire me $158 million.
And I've already talked to my lawyers
because I've gone after people like you
in the early 70s and the 80s
when guys were stealing money from others. So I know how to deal guys like you if you can put a
consulting services tax and estate planning because our legal you know you
can do that and no one's gonna question it and you can talk to your lawyers and
everything but I need a hundred fifty eight million dollars in my account to
be transferred to this do you think there's a possibility that that could
happen I don't think so because that's not the Jeffrey I knew.
To go after guys that stole money from investors.
You didn't hang out with them a lot though.
But I know him for a long time.
I'm not a kid anymore, neither was he.
To go after crooked brokers who screwed investors, that's more who Jeffrey was.
I'd be surprised if he was blackmailing Leon Black for $158 million.
Also, another interesting point,
I mean, I doubt Jeffrey gave him wine
and took him into a bedroom
and has videotapes of Jeffrey and Leon Black.
That's not what you're suggesting.
That him and Jeffrey?
Yeah. No, no, no, no.
Not at all.
By the way, I'm being facetious and saying that.
No, no, I'm saying he may have a video
with Leon and a younger woman.
I understand that, but the point I'm trying to bring out
is that of, you know.
We don't wanna upset the LGBTQ community,
Mark, don't do that.
What's that?
I don't wanna upset the LGBTQ community.
It's a, you're taking shots at me.
I'm not looking to upset anybody,
but the journalists who I'm talking to,
you know, pointed out that, you know, if that was the case,
and with all the quote victims out there, you know,
none of them have said that they were trafficked
to anybody with names other than that girl, Virginia,
okay, who first accused Alan Dershowitz, you know,
and Prince Andrew, and she's recanted the Alan Dershowitz story.
She said, no, that was a mistake.
So, I mean, to me, and to a lot of people who hear this,
that seems more implausible, that she's accused,
how do you sleep with somebody, assuming she slept with him?
And then say, oh no, it wasn't him,
or did she really sleep with him?
There's a number of girls that have come out that could be a one-off if we if we go through the list of girls and
The pictures and in the plane young girls on his lap and all these other things
Are you are you are you even speculating that maybe even because you're not even doing that
You're saying that he did have relationship with some underage woman because he called and told you tell because you're not even doing that, you're saying that he did have a relationship with some underage woman because he called and told you.
You told me.
You're not even using that card, right?
I mean, we've seen this picture,
we've seen a lot of different things.
But all I'm saying is,
that is a pretty powerful business model.
That's a pretty powerful business model.
I can give you a whole different story
that I don't wanna go through, all I'm saying is-
Okay, but to go back to the initial question question is Jeffrey knew how to make money with investing.
I don't think he needed to go down that road to make more money. Oh Mark, come on Mark, to make
158 million dollars. He's made a lot of money in his life. No, but I get that. I don't, I'm not
disputing that. And he was far from the richest guy on the planet. Can I ask you a question? You said
something earlier. You said at the time I looked it up,
it was gonna be the biggest bill ever put up
over a hundred million dollars, right?
Right.
You've been around how many rich people in your life?
Plenty. Some, yeah.
Okay.
When have you ever heard a $158 million estate planning
services paid for, especially in a case like this with a
controversial figure like your brother. Mark, that's a little weird. Okay, but to
be honest with you, I'm the wrong guy to ask that question. I'm not involved with
the financial community. I'm not involved with estate planning, so I don't know what the norms are.
I think you're being fair, but you know, for one to sit down and do
some of those services, that's a little bit
weird to have that kind of a number being brought up.
Okay, so let me ask you, when you see and they say, well, he probably had a lot of videos
and he's kind of used this against them to hold them accountable and, you know, all the
emails back and forth with Chase and how Chase was doing banking relationships. I don't know if you read that one where, you know, the Chase relationship with him with
2000 email exchanges.
I don't know what it was where a federal judge on, you know, this class action lawsuit
with JPMorgan Chase had to pay $290 million to sexual abuse victims of Jeffrey Epstein,
who claimed that the bank ignored warnings about the disgraced financier? I'm sure that I don't, you know, I don't am not intelligent enough about this to speak about that.
I've heard about that, that Chase was in trouble and that was a shock to me.
I had no idea why a bank would be called on the carpet.
I don't know what was taking place.
So I don't know what to tell you about that.
This is all news to me.
Like I said, I've heard that Chase and wasn't there another bank that also had to pay out?
Oh, yeah. Was it, was it? I don't want to mention a bank's name in case it's wrong. I've heard that Chase, and wasn't there another bank that also had to pay out?
Was it, I don't wanna mention a bank's name
in case it's wrong, but I know Chase had to pay out.
But again, I don't know why.
I'm not interested in that stuff.
I haven't been looking at it.
Because the thing I was concerned about
was the circumstances of his, what I'll call his murder
at this point in time.
See, that's why I asked you a question at the opening
and I said, what's more important to you,
the how or the why, you said the who, right?
And I think to me is, if you figure out the why,
you'll figure out the who, okay?
Not the other way around.
It's not figure out the who, you'll figure out the why.
I think how, check.
Why, check.
Who, check.
I think that's the sequence, right? It's how, why, check. Why, check. Who, check. I think that's the sequence, right?
It's how, why, who.
So the why is the stepping stone for you to get to the who.
Because-
Part of the who and part of the why,
the question becomes like,
assuming that he was killed, okay,
and it wasn't a suicide,
then the question becomes,
well, who would have the power or the ability to have this
done in a federal prison?
If he was walking down the street in a car, drove by and he got shot in the head, that
could have been anybody.
But to be killed in a federal prison, in a maximum security federal prison, not any Joe
on the street could pull something like that off.
So it becomes who would have the ability
to put that together?
Oh, you kidding me? Come on, man.
Mark.
And who would have the ability
to have the justice department report come out
with so much bullshit in it?
Who do you think?
Well, I've already given you my opinion.
No, that guy doesn't have that much power because so.
The president of the United States?
You think the president has that much power? Are are you seriously good night listen Mark I like your humor
I think you're being fair I think I'm having a lot of fun talking to you you
know politically you know you know you've done stuff with Adam Schiff with
Maxine water I've never met Adam Schiff but you did something with them in the
past you were part of a this is kind of the bullshit that's been put out about.
So an article, I can read it.
You can read the article.
That doesn't mean it's true.
There's a lot of things.
So tell us about it.
Tell us what the...
No, I'm involved with an organization
and part of what we do is we run congressional delegations
to different parts around the world.
We take small groups of congressmen to different parts
with like, for instance, we took a small group
of congressmen to Bahrain
a couple of years ago. They'll meet with the leadership of Bahrain, different ministers or presidents or whatever.
They'll meet with the US embassy people on the ground. They'll meet with...
Associated. So you're associated with Adam Schiff, Debbie Wasserman, Shultz, Maxine Waters.
This is the... you were listed on the board of directors
for the Humpty Dumpty Institute, having nothing to do with hip hop, right?
Which works with the United Nations in attempt to rebuild developing countries.
Reported that a tax filing from Institute where Epstein sits on the board of directors
showing that you loaned the international charity at least $100,000 in 2014.
The group lists Democratic representative Maxine Waters, Adam
Schiff of California, and Debbie Wasserman Schultz of Florida on the Congressional Advisory
Board of the Institute.
It was reported Epstein had a congressional delegation of Republican Democratic representative
to an event being held in Belgium in 2019.
That's what I read.
Yeah, and we've taken them to different places.
Part of the thing is what's interesting, what people find interesting, is that
our members of Congress, it's like
465 I think the number is, half of them don't have passports.
They've never been anywhere. Congress members are voted in for local issues.
But they vote on foreign policy issues, of which they really are not well informed.
Because they've never been anywhere.
So part of-
This was your way of-
Well not mine, it's the organization, this is what we do.
So we take them to places where they can learn
about what's taking place.
Also when we go to a place,
we'll get them to meet with opposition leaders.
So they get both sides of the story.
When they come back, they can maybe spread some information to Congress.
But it's fair to say you didn't campaign for Trump, you didn't campaign for Bush, you didn't
campaign for McCain, you didn't campaign for Reagan, you didn't campaign and help those
guys out, right?
I don't campaign for anybody.
Okay. But politically, you wouldn't consider yourself being a conservative?
I don't consider myself anything. Because politically, I look for the best idea.
I don't care if it comes from the right or the left,
because the right has good ideas, left has good ideas.
I just look for the best idea.
Fair.
And I wish the government looked at it that way.
And then do you believe an establishment
and an anti-establishment exists?
Do you believe in that premise?
You'd have to define that. I don't give this kind of stuff very much thought. So you'd have to define that.
I don't give this kind of stuff very much thought.
So you'd have to define what you mean by an anti-establishment.
Okay, so let me ask you a question this way.
Do you belong to a country?
I don't need the name.
I'm just saying, have you ever belonged to a country club?
No.
Okay, me neither.
Okay, I did for one week, literally.
That's a fact.
Right.
Because I went to the country club, called my wife, said, babe, there's no way I'm going
to do this.
I'm out.
But let's just say you and I go to a country club, okay? And we start hanging out.
After this conversation we have, you say,
Pat, can we go to dinner together, me and you?
We go to Casa de Angelo.
We have nice dinner, we break bread.
And then we meet the owner of Casa de Angelo and says,
hey, there's this country club,
lot of good business people, you guys gotta come to it.
We go to it, we join the country club.
And we've been at this country club for a year,
two years, three years, four years.
And all of a sudden, we at this country club,
someone comes to us and say, hey, we have voted for you to be we, at this country club, someone comes to us and say,
hey, we have voted for you to be the president
of this country club after four years.
And you become the president, I'm your vice president
of this country club.
That's been around for a hundred years.
Then there's a list of guys that have worked
at this country club and had influential positions
at this country club who have been there for 49 years, 43 years, 41 years,
38 years.
I think you know where I'm going with this.
Actually, I do not.
I'm about to tell you where I'm going with this.
Oh, I'm gonna give it to you
because that's a little bit of foreplay
and then there's the climax, right?
Baby, go ahead.
So, the point is,
who has more influence? Us, that we've been there for four years, who has more deeper secrets of darker information
and mistakes and challenges and dead bodies of this country club?
Me and you, who just became members and they announced us as president and vice president?
Or some of these guys that have sat on the board and have been there for 38, 45, 49 years?
Who do you think has more control over stories over
the dead bodies and horror stories that they have? Well, probably the guys who have
been there for a longer time but I've never thought of that question before.
It's not the world I come from, it's not the world I'm in. I don't participate. I'm a member of the
National Arts Club. That's the club I belong to. I love it. There's not a lot of
politics involved. But this is the point I was making to you. Yeah, you said earlier that
you know your speculation was that the reason why this is being hidden is because of Trump and Bill Barr and I'm my point is
the fact that the guy had never been in politics comes in
anti-establishment gets elected then there's people that have been there for 30 40 years who are part of the establishment
They know where everybody is buried Trump has zero
control over the establishment they said they tell themselves guys just deal with
this guy for four years and we'll get rid of him trust me he's not gonna be
around that's what I mean when I say a guy like that doesn't have a lot of
power when a new president comes in, they have what's called the
secrets meeting, where before he takes office he's sitting down, he's told like the classified
information he needs to know. My question is always, who's telling him that information?
That's right, so then you're part of that. I'm not part of it, I thought about it.
No, no, Mark, we're putting you in that group. You are part of these. No, but the point is, when I say you're part of that,
meaning in your thought is,
who are the people that are briefing them?
The other day I had this fellow on the Pascha,
we're talking about Invention Secrecy Act of 1951.
I don't know if you're familiar with it or not.
In 1951, this one senator, I think, wrote this bill,
John Sparksman, I think is his name and
Where they put these patents in there where they buy it from you because they think it's unsafe for the world
So let's just say you make a patent to create a car that can go
200 miles a gallon of water and you invented that but it's gonna put a half a trillion dollar industry oil business in America at
Five trillion dollar industry worldwide. Listen, give us the patent, here's 20 million dollars,
keep your mouth shut, you can't ever sell it to anybody
or else you're going to jail.
They come up with this, right?
They used to buy up the patents
for light bulbs that wouldn't burn out.
So that's the same model.
People would send the light bulbs that wouldn't burn out
and they bought those patents
because then the whole light bulb industry.
This destroys an industry.
So that's exactly it, right?
So to me, that is an element of establishment to protect the establishment so it doesn't it, right? So to me, that is an element of establishment,
to protect the establishment so it doesn't disrupt, right?
So I believe when you're saying
who are the people that give that report to them,
that's why I don't think Trump has much power
as you think he does.
I think it's the people that have been there
for 30, 40, 50 years who have been consistent
that have power over that.
So let me go back to it.
So when you say, do you really think these guys can pass the laws and all this other stuff
Yeah, a Leon Black and some of these other billionaires
Have the power with lobbying to to buy a lot of laws to do they can put the money to protect them
So I'm from billions of losses isn't that cool lobbying. That's exactly it
So that's the part with the power that these guys have. So that's why I say, you know,
Why would they pay a hundred fifty something million dollars to your brother for that kind of money?
By the way, did you ever meet Jalaine Maxwell? Yes. What is she like?
Well, I met her Jeff and her met back in the 90s in the early 90s 91
I think was her father and our father passed away the same year and they became friends and they used to hang out a lot.
And I used to see them a lot, usually in Florida.
I'd go to Florida a lot because my parents lived there.
My mother lived there.
So yeah, we used to do things together.
What was she like?
She was fine.
She was personable.
She was very nice as far as I know.
Also back in the 90s,
my mother happened to be in a very bad car accident
and she was in a hospital for quite a while.
And Galen was very helpful in organizing nurses
to take care of my mother.
And so she was very helpful.
So your memory of her is how she treated your mom.
So it's all positive.
Yeah, I had no negative memories of her from back then.
You never had dinner with her and all of a sudden,
food came in, the steak wasn't medium rare and she snapped at the waiter or things like that?
No, I don't think we ever had dinner out anywhere.
Because both Jeff and I are not big restaurant fans.
I think we had dinner together. It was usually his house or something.
I mean, maybe a couple of times, but no, but I've never seen the behavior you're speaking of.
You don't trust restaurant owners? It's the lack of trust in the...
I own a restaurant, be careful.
Forgive me.
My apologies.
Please, I don't want to upset you.
Okay, so Jelaine, Robert Maxwell, did you ever meet Robert?
No.
Okay.
What do you think about Robert Maxwell as a personality?
Well, all I see is what everybody else has seen in the paper.
He's a very successful guy.
Supposedly, he was tied with Mossad
and he ended up in financial trouble
and he raided the pension accounts of his employees.
You don't know as much as I know.
You don't know what I know about Robert Maxwell.
And he was either killed or jumped off of his boat.
That's my knowledge of Robert Maxwell.
And did that conversation,
my father ever come up with Jelaine or not really?
Not really, no.
Cause by that point in time,
I didn't see them very much anymore.
Got it.
Yeah, you know, going back to the Diddy part,
and maybe a part of my goal is to get you
to become a hip hop fan by the time we're done.
But with Diddy, when I got a call from Suge Knight,
I don't know if you know who Suge Knight is or not.
So one day I'm sitting around, I get it two months ago,
one of my guys says, hey, Suge wants to talk to you.
And I get on the phone and it's Suge, collect call from jail.
Hey, hey, hey, hey, Patrick, hey Pat, hey PBD,
how you doing?
Hey, just wanna know, you know, the hood fucks with you.
I'm like, all right, cool, so we start talking.
I'm a hip hop guy, I followed.
And we were on a flight one time
from Burbank to Vegas together, me and Shug, years ago.
And this is a regular Southwest airline flight
from Burbank, Bob Holt Airport.
And I said, hey, Shug, question for you.
I said, what is the stories about, you know,
Diddy hanging out with 13 year old Usher,
living with them for a year, allegedly,
Rob, if we can see what the timeline was,
and Justin Bieber goes there as a young boy
and stays with them on all this stuff.
Two kind of weird stories.
Says, you know, well, he says,
do you think those types of behaviors are natural or taught?
He says, that he didn't do that on his own.
He was taught that behavior.
And I said, okay, taught that behavior by who?
This is what Shug Knight claimed.
Shug Knight claimed by men like Clive Davis.
I don't know Clive Davis. I've never spoken to Clive Davis. I don't know Clive Davis.
I've never spoken to Clive Davis.
I've never done an interview with him,
but I've read a lot of weird things about Clive Davis
over the years.
Interviews, he said some very weird things,
strange answers that he's given.
But it made me think he's right.
You hear stories about many times
when a person goes to jail,
they become even a better criminal
because it's a university to know how to do
additional type of crime, right?
Did you ever have any friends or peers or people
you saw, Jeffrey, because the way you're explaining
happy family, mom, you said right kind of mom,
raised the right way, you know, all this stuff.
And then all of a sudden, boom, you pick up bad behavior.
Did you ever see him get associated with certain men
you were like, Jeffrey, stay away from that guy.
That guy gives me the bad vibes.
Did you ever have any experiences like that?
No, because we didn't socialize together.
So I didn't meet the people he was hanging out with
and he didn't meet the people I was hanging out with.
Like, I remember, I hadn't, I saw him,
I didn't see him for seven years.
Yeah.
Which, you know, and that puts it back to 2012.
My mother passed away in 2004,
and between 2004 and 2012,
maybe I saw him a half a dozen times.
So like I said, we lived different lives,
different worlds, different friends.
Never saw anybody, huh?
I mean, years ago, there were some people that, like, he was involved. I thought you were going to, when you first started talking about the money thing, I thought
you were talking about that guy, Hoffenberg.
I had met Hoffenberg once back in maybe in the 90s or early 2000s.
What'd you think about him?
He was just a guy doing business with Jeff.
He seemed okay.
You know, we didn't talk business.
I didn't know what they were involved with.
They just knew they were partners on something.
What happened with Hofenberg?
He ended up going to jail for some kind of Ponzi scheme thing.
And they were in business together?
They did some work together, they were involved in some way, shape or form,
the details of which I don't know.
Can you type in Hofenberg and Epstein?
Actually, I did meet him once after Jeff died.
I spoke to him once after that because I had questions about...
What did he tell you?
No news, nothing to report. I almost forgot that I spoke to him.
Jeff was a mentor. This guy was a mentor to him who once ran a Ponzi scheme and was found dead. He was 77.
Wow. So, okay, this is what I mean by it.
And so, so Huffman 77, died seven years ago.
His body was found Tuesday at Derby by police,
responded to a check on welfare.
His welfare authorities say he identified dental records
because his cause of death is pending toxicology,
test results and autopsy shows no signs of trauma.
And there was no indications of a struggle or forced entry the apartment go a little lower rap
Epstein the disgraced financier who killed themselves in New York. I hate when I see that when they say they killed themselves
So the kill themselves bothers you more than a disgrace. Yes while awaiting trial on allegations
He sexually abused doesn't get this one off and work
on allegations he sexually abused, doesn't get this from Huffenberg,
worked for Huffenberg's bill collection,
oh this is the guy that they would go
and collect the monies from the bad broker.
No, no, no, no.
In the late 80s when prosecutors said
the Ponzi scheme began, what was the business model?
Huffenberg who once tried buying the New York Post
ended up getting busted in one of the country's
largest frauds, he admitted to swindled thousands
of investors out of 460 million dollars and was sentenced in 1997 to 20 years in prison. ended up getting busted and one of the country's largest frauds he admitted to swindled thousands
of investors out of 460 million dollars and was sentenced in 1997 to 20 years in prison.
He claims Epstein was actually the architect of the scheme, but Epstein was never charged.
He was released from federal custody in 2013 according to the Bureau of Prisons.
It was not immediately clear how he ended up living in a small apartment and multifamily
home in Derby, about 12 miles, Bridgeport.
Gary Bace, one of Huffenberg's friends and lawyers and a former acting deputy as general,
said Huffenberg and Epstein had a special relationship and Huffenberg and Epstein was
a smart, said Epstein was the smartest person he knew when he came to money.
Said Huffenberg was also very intelligent, which may have contributed to the downfall.
He was way too smart for his own good.
He thought he could get away with the Ponzi scheme but he could not.
He did not have self-control.
He always thought he was smarter than the next guy and that was one of the problems
but he was a good man.
So he was more, Huffenberg was more, Rob can you go back to Huffenberg's Wikipedia if you could?
He was more like a, who's the guy that did the $52 billion that they made a video about
him, a documentary about him, and Pacino I think starred him, or De Niro starred him.
You know who I'm talking about, Rob, the guy from New York?
You know who I'm talking about, who did the $52 billion scheme in New York? What's his last name? Madoff, right?
So was Hoftenberg like a Madoff or you don't know?
I have no idea. I met Hoftenberg a couple of times briefly and didn't give me any indication of who he was and I never met Madoff.
Pleaded guilty, 427 in 20 years plus 1 million dollar fine for every restitution amount in his family.
Okay, so you made him, so your impression of him was what?
Was he sharp, what was he like?
It just seemed like one of Jeffrey's associates.
They didn't leave in any strong opinion
or negative or positive.
So one of his opinions, but the way they're writing it,
they're saying that this guy could have been his mentor.
You weren't aware of that.
I know they worked together, did some stuff together.
I don't know the details of the relationship.
See, this is where I'm going with this,
because you know Jordan Belfort from Wolf of Wall Street?
You ever seen the movie Wolf of Wall Street?
Yeah, sure.
Okay, so first time Jordan and I
talking to him somewhere in Manhattan Beach,
I said, so tell me about your family.
Well, I said, what were you supposed to be?
He said, I was supposed to be a doctor.
Really?
Yeah.
What was your major?
I think he said biology, if I'm not mistaken.
And I said, so how did this happen?
Well, you know, I get out, I wanna be somebody,
good family, nothing in the upbringing of mom and dad,
so you can't blame the mom and dad.
And then stocks, boom, penny stocks, learns bad habits, JT Marlin, and then you know
whatever the company's name is, not JT Marlin, I think that's from the movie Boiler Room. But anyways,
he starts his company and the next thing you know, he makes so he learned his bad habits from somebody
I'm just curious, you know where he picked up some of these habits
Do you know when's the first time Jeffrey Epstein and Jelaine started spending time together? Yeah, I think was 91 or 92
At that time had he already been accused of underage girls or not yet. No, that wasn't until the early 2000s
So do you think maybe the underage girls,
because some people say that Jelaine played a big role
in recruiting the girls and bringing them in
and groom them in, do you think a part of that
maybe was brought in from Jelaine?
I don't know, but I've heard the same stories you've heard,
but I can't comment on it.
Again, to me it goes to the how, why, who, okay?
On the why side, when you hear a Masad,
how much thought you put into that,
that he could have been a Masad agent?
Very little.
Very little?
Yeah.
It's either like, you know, I can't confirm it or deny it,
I don't know, so I don't,
things I don't know, I don't speculate on.
I wanna read this one story too from,
let me see if I can find this.
Let me find this.
All right, so let's see which one this is.
Ba ba ba ba ba, da da da da.
Yeah, so here we go.
Epstein was rumored to be associated with intelligence
to US journalist Dylan Howard, Melissa Cronin,
and James Robertson linked Epstein to the
Israeli Mossad in their book Epstein, Dead Man Tell No Tales.
They relied for the most part of the former Israeli intelligence officer Ari Ben Manashe.
According to him, Epstein's activities as a spy serve to gather compromising material
on powerful people in order to blackmail them.
There's also possible connection to the Mossad via Jelaine Maxwell, whose father, Robert
Maxwell, is said to have had contacts with the Mossad.
Epstein's victim, Virginia Joufray, also alleged Epstein to be an intelligence asset,
linked on Twitter to a Reddit page that alleged Epstein being a spy running a blackmail operation. This continues. A
US attorney in Florida, later US Secretary of Labor Alexander Acosta,
reached a settlement with Epstein's lawyer including Alan Dershowitz in 2008
which allowed him to receive a very light prison sentence. Acosta later
reportedly stated that he was told that Epstein belonged to intelligence and that the issue was above his pay grade. According to Acosta,
he was pushed to give him a good deal and former diplomat and CIA Director William Berms met with
Epstein three times. According to CIA spokesperson, Berms hoped that Epstein would help him transition to the private sector. So, you know.
The key for me in all of that is all of these things
were started with rumor has it, this is alleged.
Show me facts and then I take things seriously.
Because there were a lot of things rumored and alleged
about me that I know were not true.
So when I hear things are rumored and alleged,
it already starts off with a grain of salt. It know, it's like in the movie, you ever see
the movie Erin Brockovich? Of course. Okay, there's a scene where she's saying that you
have to go after PG&E. And Ed, the lawyer was saying, well, we have to go after PG&E
corporate, because the local PG&E is not where the money is. And he goes, you know, you have
to show that PG&E corporate knew about it. it and she said of course they knew about it I mean everybody
knows they knew about it and he said show me the document that proves it so
it's this kind of thing people are alleging things and I said things have
been alleged about me I hear that and I say okay this is what they're alleging
you don't give me naive vibes you don't give me naive vibes. You don't give me naive vibes at all. You give me
vibes of someone that if you're curious, you want to get intel, you put the time to go pursue it and figure out what it is and
you also give me the vibe that you can
juggle the speculation to kind of get to the bottom of something and use logic and reason and facts and data and all of that.
Here's where I'm going with this. If you and I buy 20% of a company,
nowadays it's not on a handshake, we document it.
And we put it on a deal.
And that may take 30, 60, 90 days to close, right?
Depending on how much the money is
and what kind of a, are we buying private, public,
it could be faster or slower, right?
That's why I don't take partners in anything. You I both but that's what that's a documented right you you
document that okay if if I sell a house and you're my real estate agent we're
gonna have an agreement they're gonna come and say can you sign this that I'm
your representative anything you saw goes through me and then we decide 90 days,
180 days a year, whatever. What bullshit bullshit. All of these things require
document. When you become a CIA operative or a Mossad they don't say let's write
this contract that you're there is no contract. CIN Mossad is like this.
There is no arrangement because neither party wants to put that in place. You know that I know that so it's not
so if you're waiting for proof to see that he was Mossad because you're going to see a contract saying
that you know such and such as a Mossad
that'll never happen not in your lifetime in my lifetime.
um, and then not in your lifetime, in my lifetime. And then, you know, for all the other thing to avoid speculating, let's speculate that he was,
let's say he did play the role,
and let's say he did provide, you know,
certain assets and information for Israel,
Mossad, whoever it may be.
And let's speculate that he did have all these parties, people came over, he has tapes, video,
all that.
Speculate is what we're doing.
If Israel had access to that information, how valuable would that be?
And how much influence would they have to be able to get US politicians to do for Israel what Israel wants to be done for them if they had
that? Well it's a big if and if they had it they would have influence the exact
amount I don't know I'm not don't travel those circles yeah I was just to address
something you raised before about Humpty Dumpty Institute and the congressional
advisory committee yes those people are people were on the Congressional Advisory Committee.
It's not a committee that had meeting.
These were people that liked what Humpty Dumpty was doing and supported our activities.
How did you come up with that name?
I mean, Mark, that's a concern.
Who was the branding team?
Well, what happened, a group of us,
we were involved part of the United Nations Association.
This goes back like 30-some odd years.
And what we were doing in those days, one of the things,
we were heavily involved in landmine eradication,
getting landmines removed from around the world.
And we found that the UNA was kind of a great organization.
It was very bureaucratic.
We had started a project called Adopt a Minefield.
The United Nations had a book of different minefields
that really needed clearing, certain villages
in different places.
And there was a price tag associated
with what it would cost to clear a particular mine area.
So we would then partner, we'd find organizations that wanted to get active.
And let's say a school group figured they could raise $50,000 to fight landmines.
Well, they'd go through the book and they'd find a landmine that needed $50,000 to clear.
And they would adopt the minefield.
Got it.
So we put that together as part of the United Nations Association.
And we were flying back from a trip to Africa,
because we had worked in Angola and Rwanda
and different places.
And we figured, we can probably be more effective
as a small private group than doing it through the UNA.
So we separated from the United Nations Association.
We left the Adopt a Minefield program with them
because it was started under their auspices, and we started the Humpty Dumpty Institute. It became
a takeoff because if you look at the nursery rhyme, okay, it's all the king's horses and
all the king's men couldn't put Humpty back together again. Well, the king's horses are the
military and the king's men are the politicians. They can't do it. So we decided that to get these things done,
we needed a public private partnership.
So we work with the government to get things done.
We got a lot of funding from the government
back in those days.
The US Department of Agriculture supported a lot
of the landmine eradication by giving us excess commodities.
Like we'd get powdered milk.
The US government is sitting on billions
of tons of powdered milk.
And so they gave us some to sell in countries and we used their money to clear landmines.
They gave us a few million dollars worth of red lentil beans to clear the landmines in
Sri Lanka.
So these are the kind of projects that we do.
So the Humpty Dumpty Institute became about putting the pieces back together again with
public private partnerships.
And we were told when we asked people, they said if we can get past the laugh factor for
two years, it'll be a good name.
And if you go to the UN, and well, see, you're laughing.
But at least you guys knew.
Oh, well, absolutely.
Because all I think about is the Humpty dances, your chance to do the hump.
That's all I think.
Well, if you go to the United Nations, if're dealing with the United Nations and the world of NGOs...
Rob, I'm sorry, I go there. It's my...
So we're an NGO, you know, non-governmental...
Sure, for sure.
And if you're dealing in that world, you have UNESCO, you have tons of acronyms, it's all letters.
You don't remember those letter names. People remember Humpty Dumpty.
Yeah, I mean...
It's a very effective name.
Unfortunately, unfortunately, it's stuck. Because we made it past the two-year-life factor. It's stuck. Every time I hear the Humpty Dumpty, I'm going to think of two people.
I'm gonna think about Humpty and you. Okay. That's where I'm gonna go. And you were compelled to say
that you said this, you brought this story up after I asked you if your brother was a Mossad agent
and he did have those tapes of very powerful people
in different political places like Prince Andrew, like the US government, like billionaires,
how valuable would that be to the Israeli government to leverage in a way they negotiate with
political people and billionaires around the world? You said yes, that's a big if. If yes,
that's very powerful. Then you went into telling the story.
Why did you transition into bringing the Humphrey's?
Well, no, because I wanted to clear up the point
about the connection with Adam Schiff.
Okay, I got you.
Even though we have this connection, we've never met.
We don't sit down with a congressional advisory committee.
I just learned you don't like restaurants
because you own one, so you don't go to restaurants.
I would have signed, but I prefer to eat at home.
Eat at your place.
Yeah.
Any final thoughts before we wrap up?
Because to me, I mean, I'll finish up
with maybe this one here and then give you the final words.
Megyn Kelly said something,
I don't know what the date was on this one.
Megyn Kelly came out and said,
earlier this year, maybe even January
or something like that, she said,
we're gonna hear a lot more about Jeffrey Epstein
in the coming year and you may even be hearing
from him directly.
What did she mean by that?
I actually have no idea.
Jeffrey's dead.
I don't know if she meant that he's not dead.
I think she may have said that he,
because when you hear, when she said that,
some people are like, oh my God,
Jeffrey's on an island with Elvis and Tupac
That's what they're doing. You know they're playing backgammon, and we're gonna hear about them all at the same time
They're gonna come out right. I think they were on an island. They wouldn't be playing backgammon. It's a good game
You know it's a good game. I don't know if you've played it or not. I used to you don't play it anymore
No, what's your game? What do you you don't play games or you have problem with games or not? I used to. You don't play it anymore? No. What's your game? What do you you don't play games or you have a problem with games? No, I keep myself busy
with projects I work on. No Sudoku, no Mineswap? Cross right puzzles.
Okay, fair enough. I respect it. So I think the way I saw one, Megan said
it is, maybe have you seen the recent, is it Bad Boys 4?
Have you seen the one that just came out?
I just took my kids to go watch it.
And they play a clip of the original,
what do you call their boss?
What was their boss's name in Bad Boys 4?
In Bad Boys 1, 2, what is a guy's name?
That he has to do Woosa.
Do you know who I'm talking about?
That guy, what's his name zoom in Conrad Howard okay so that's their boss right
and in this he starts speculating and thinking that people on the eye on the
higher-ups are using the government to steal money from people I want a shock
yeah I mean that would never happen, right?
And he makes a video saying,
if you're watching this video, I'm dead.
And here's what you need to know, dot, dot, dot.
Do you think your brother for as smart as, you know,
is it Hoffman?
What was the other guy's name?
The Huffenberg?
Huffenberg, that said your brother's the smartest man he's ever met.
Math guy, calculating.
You think your brother would ever allow the world to do what they did to him,
knowing the fact that he has all this information without having a dead man's, you know,
switch in place where, you know, they're gonna come out and say,
you're gonna do this, it's gonna be released to everybody.
You think your brother would have tape
that could potentially leak all if it was?
Well, if he was the guy you're trying to portray here,
he might have had a tape like that,
but I don't think that was who Jeffrey was.
And not because he's my brother,
I'm more than willing to admit when he says he did something,
I know he did something, he did it.
I'm not here to defend him just because he's my brother.
I won't do that.
That's why I only address the charges against him
because he told me that he was with girls
that were underage and he had lawyers to defend him.
That's their job, that's not my job.
I'm just concerned about the death,
the untimely death of my brother.
Now he didn't know, when he came back from France,
he didn't know he was getting arrested.
He had a non-prosecution agreement with the government.
He wasn't supposed to be tried again for the same charges.
And that's what they were basically doing.
And they were starting to say, well, this is New York.
That was the Southern district or something.
And I'm like, well, he had to deal with
the federal government. And as far as, well, he had to deal with the federal government.
And as far as I know, we have one federal government that will take you from Alaska
to Hawaii.
And if you have a deal with the federal government, that should cover the entire United States.
So why was he being charged with the same crimes that he had a non-prosecution?
And that was a big part of his upcoming defense, from what I understand.
So that's why he was surprised he was in jail,
and that was the defense he was looking forward
to pushing forward.
If you listen to David Shone,
on the Crime Waves podcast,
I don't know if you know about that.
He says that this was the defense,
part of the defense they were looking to put forward.
And then, you know, then obviously turns up dead.
Final thoughts.
Sure.
I just want to find out who had my brother killed.
And I want to find out why.
Okay.
We can work together.
They go hand in hand.
Yeah.
I'd shake your hand, but the camera is,
see I'll do it afterwards.
Mark, I appreciate you for coming out
and agreeing to do this.
And you were kind enough to allow this to extend past
the hour, hour and a half, Mark,
we covered a lot of different things.
And these types of interviews,
the great thing about these types of interviews is,
this also prompts others to go and do their own due diligence
and who knows what they come up with it.
Well, that's why I've been doing these this past year.
Look, for four years, we were trying to find out
what position his body was in when he was found.
Yeah.
Because it's very important, okay?
Couldn't get that information.
And then last June, the Justice Department
finally came out with a report.
And if you read it, I think it's somewhere on page 70
when they describe how his body was found,
it's in opposition to the results of the autopsy.
They don't match.
That's why a new group of forensic pathologists
are reviewing the case,
because there's things that don't make sense.
Just 120 page report you were talking about?
Yeah, look at page, like somewhere around page 70 or 71,
describe how he was sitting.
If you have a minute, they say he was
in a basically seated position with his legs extended
in front of him and he was hanging from the top bunk.
And when they cut him or tore him down, you saw the news that his buttocks were an inch
and an inch and a half off the ground.
So that means he's been hanging, we know for at least two hours, he was dead, supposedly,
that's all. So he was hanging
that way for over two hours. And if that's the case, when someone dies, there's a thing
called levity. Your blood settles in your body. That's why they tell you never move a dead body,
because if they find a dead body laying on its stomach and its back is blotchy from blood pooling
there, well, you know the body's been moved, it's been turned over. Because if you die in your back, body laying on its stomach and its back is blotchy from blood pooling there.
Well, you know the body's been moved, it's been turned over, because if you die in your
back, after a couple hours, your back starts getting blotchy from the blood settling.
So the way they described that he was hanging, well, the back of his legs and his buttocks
should show signs of the levity of the blood settling down his body.
They're clear.
I can show you a picture of his legs. They're as clear as yours and mine.
Very unlikely. And since it seems like he was longer for a lot more than two hours,
dead for more than two hours because of the shaving, you know, he was clean shaving,
he should have levitity in his legs. And he has some on his upper back, you know, that, so that's a question.
You know, another question, if he was going to kill himself, why shave that day?
Yeah, you brought that up at the beginning.
Yeah.
When I spoke to someone about Dr. Barton, I was asking him about that.
He said that's rare.
He goes, guys usually don't care what they find.
He said when women commit suicide, a lot of times they do it by overdosing on pills. And he goes, a lot of times when they find women, suicide victims from pills,
they have lipstick on and makeup. They want to be found looking good. Get out of here. Yeah, yeah. I
was shocked when he told me that. I said to him, I said, it's amazing the kind of information you
have about these kinds of things. Yeah, when women commit suicide, they tend to want to be found looking pretty,
so they put makeup on.
Guys don't usually take care about that.
So again, and Jeffrey wasn't the kind of guy
to shave every day, you know,
so why would he have shaved
if he was gonna kill himself later that day?
Before his bail hearing, you know, it doesn't end up.
If you were in his position,
would you kill yourself a few days before you might get bail?
Listen, I'm not part of the camp that believes it's suicide.
So I'm not there at all.
I'm part of the camp that he was taken out.
Well, yeah, well, let your listeners
think about those questions.
No, of course, for sure.
Trust me.
Everyone, the interviews I've watched,
you do 20 minutes, 30 minutes.
I'm like i want to see
him sit down and talk today a lot of questions i had you answered and i'm glad it was very helpful
and i learned even more on what else i want to leave and go looking at myself and i'm sure the
audience gonna go look at a bunch of other things give me one of these here on camera
appreciate you we did get your guys, did you see that?
