MODERATORS
•In 2009, JP Morgan hired Palantir to monitor it's employees, allegedly to look out for dishonest trading. However a Palantir backed security chief was allegedly caught spying on bank executives and was forced to resign in 2013.
•Coincidentally, for whatever reason, 2013 was also the year JP Morgan finally stopped doing business with Epstein, despite Epstein being previously arrested for "soliciting prostitution" with a minor in 2008 and deemed a reputational liability by the bank's general counsel in 2011.
•In 2011, Epstein decided he was interested in Bitcoin and requested a phone call with the successor 2 days before a big meeting to pitch Bitcoin to the CIA
•By 2015 Epstein and Thiel are casually discussing destabilizing the middle east.
•Between 2015 and 2016, Epstein invested $40M in Thiel's firm Valar.
•By 2017, Epstein is bloviating about Bitcoin, quantum computing and AI
•Last Fall, senator Roy Wydan called for an investigation into JP Morgan Bank Records, but JP Morgan would not hand them over without a subpoena. On the same day, democrats in both the House and Senate tried to subpoena those records but were blocked by Republicans.
•In 2025, Peter Thiel received preliminary approval for the first U.S. Cryptobank and JP Morgan announced they would begin to allow Bitcoin and Ether as collateral.
It sure would be interesting to know what those bank transactions between Thiel and Epstein were all about. It's interesting Epstein to such an interest in crypto just in time for traditional banks to finally draw the line on doing business with him.
