Life and Crimes of Jeffrey Epstein


Born: Jan. 20, 1953, in Brooklyn, New York Parents: Mother, Pauline, a part-time school aide. Father, Seymour, a groundskeeper for the New York City Parks Department


CHILDHOOD Epstein skipped two grades and graduated from Brooklyn’s Lafayette High School at age 16. He enrolled at Cooper Union and later at New York University but never received degrees from either school.


CAREER 1974: Got a job teaching calculus and physics at the Dalton


School, a Manhattan prep school, but was fired two years later for “poor performance.” At Dalton School, he made an important connection with one of his student’s parents: Alan Greenberg, CEO of Bear Stearns. Impressed by Epstein’s acuity with numbers, Greenberg gave him an assistant job at Bear Stearns in 1976, and from there, Epstein quickly climbed the ladder, eventually advising some of the company’s wealthiest clients. 1981: Epstein established his own financial consulting firm, Intercontinental Assets Group Inc., where he helped clients


recover embezzled money and also assisted clients who were embezzlers. He began telling colleagues he was an intelligence agent. His association with powerful businessmen who did deals with overseas governments, as well as his extensive travels, bolstered his claim. 1987: Epstein began consulting for Tower Financial Corp.,


a collection agency that ended up being a half-a-billion-dollar Ponzi scheme. Although Epstein was thought to be one of its masterminds, he escaped unscathed, quitting Tower before it collapsed in 1993. 1988: Epstein set up J. Epstein & Co. (which would later be


renamed Financial Trust Co.), a financial management firm for billionaires. He became the financial adviser to billionaire Leslie Wexner, who was the CEO of L Brands and Victoria’s Secret. 1990s: Epstein moved his company to the U.S. Virgin Islands to avoid taxes. 2000s: Epstein expanded into financing media companies,


developing securities funding, and investing in hedge funds and startups. He also created his own nonprofit to donate millions to institutions like Harvard University. To this day,
