When the FBI raided Jeffrey Epstein’s New York mansion in July 2019, on the day he was arrested for child sex trafficking, agents forced open a large safe to find diamonds, bundles of cash, passports, binders of CDs and hard drives.
But an issue with the warrant meant they could not leave with the items. And when they returned with a new one, the safe had been emptied while they were gone - according to FBI documents.
Richard Kahn, Epstein’s accountant and bookkeeper since 2005, had told the mansion’s staff to pack two suitcases with the contents of the safe and deliver them to his home, agents wrote.
After the FBI spoke to Kahn’s then lawyer, Kahn agreed to hand over the suitcases untouched, but he did not want agents coming to his house and declined to say who had told him to remove the items.
Very good point. I didn’t even think about the fact that the trafficking victims were probably children. *For some reason, I assumed they were mostly adult employees who were coerced into silence about witnessing all of the child abuse through control of their passports or something.
/*probably because the media keep whitewashing it with misleading language. I guess I shouldn’t be surprised that the BBC is carrying water for pedophiles again. It’s sort of their thing.
