In the months leading up to Jeffrey Epstein’s arrest on federal sex trafficking charges on July 6, 2019, a small U.S. Virgin Islands bank he owned that had employed no one and laid dormant for years suddenly came alive.

A flurry of transactions totaling more than $20 million passed through the bank named Southern Country International from April to early July that year, according to a Miami Herald investigation based on the recently released documents by the U.S. Justice Department.

And months after the disgraced financier was found dead in a Manhattan detention facility on Aug. 10, an additional $25 million was moved through Southern Country, with roughly a quarter of that amount coming from unspecified sources.

So Epstein didn't kill himself, and he wasn't actually killed either?

It is weird. I'm guessing that someone knew he would be killed and then set it up to take the money. I guess he could still be alive too. Who tf knows with that much money at stake and an entire government trying to hide what happened.

Or, and this is going to be wild, it could just mean nothing? How confident are you he didn’t move millions of dollars during other times of his life that were not followed by his death? Doesn’t even sound like a particularly big sum.

Are you seriously saying there's no conspiracy around epstein? That's hilarious. Of course it could be nothing, but seeing how trump is mentioned thousands of times, hung out with the dude and has many, many, many, accusers around that, odds are not in the no-conspiracy favor.

No, Sherlock, I am saying money guy moving money is not exactly a smoking gun.
