If Epstein Shocked You, The Names Behind His Money Will Floor You. I’m Telling You More About Them…Right Here
Names, Wires, Shell Companies…The Ugly Truth Treasury’s Sitting On.
The Jack Hopkins Now Newsletter #530: Tuesday, September 9th, 2025.
August 2nd, 2025.
Not a date that will get carved into marble. Not yet. But it could be.
Because on that day…Senator Ron Wyden fired a flare into the sky. A letter addressed to Treasury Secretary Scott Bessent.
On its face? A polite congressional inquiry.
In reality? A battering ram.
A demand for the release of Suspicious Activity Reports (SARs) tied to Jeffrey Epstein’s global financial web.
Those SARs contain names. Not just Epstein’s. Names of lawyers. Bankers. Hedge fund titans. Accountants. Heiresses. Shell companies. Offshore fronts.
The names of people who…for decades…made sure the world’s most infamous predator could operate in plain sight.
Today…we go down the list. We connect the dots. We show you why these people mattered…and why Wyden wants their records unsealed.
By the time you finish…you’ll understand something the media won’t tell you: Epstein wasn’t the scandal. He was the smoke. The fire is the system that protected him.
And when you see how deep it runs, you’ll say the only words that fit:
Holy. Shit.
The Machinery of Coverup
Here’s why this matters:
Epstein’s crimes were horrific. But they were also expensive. Planes. Islands. Mansions. Lawyers. The logistics of abuse on that scale required an infrastructure.
And that infrastructure had to be financed…papered over…and sanitized.
That’s where the SARs come in. Banks file them when they see wires that smell wrong. Transfers that don’t line up. Clients whose activities look shady.
Now imagine a stack of those reports tied to Epstein.
Imagine the names in the margins.
Imagine the banks whispering to Treasury: “This doesn’t look right.”
That’s what Wyden wants the world to see.
So let’s walk through the names. One by one.
Darren K. Indyke: The Skeleton Architect
If Epstein’s empire was a house of cards…Darren Indyke was the man building the table.
For more than two decades…Indyke was Epstein’s lawyer. But not in the courtroom sense. He was the engineer...creating shell corporations…trusts…charities…and foundations. Gratitude America. Southern Trust.
Entities that sounded philanthropic but functioned as laundromats.
Victims allege in lawsuits that Indyke helped shuffle money to silence accusers. Court documents tie him to real estate maneuvers critics say buried assets in layers of legal fog
When Epstein died…Indyke became co-executor of his estate. And he’s been sued directly by survivors who allege he wasn’t just a lawyer…he was part of the machine.
If Wyden gets his way…SARs with Indyke’s name will reveal the arteries of Epstein’s financial circulatory system.
Not a coincidence. Not an accident. A design.
Richard D. Kahn: The Bookkeeper of Compromise
If Indyke was the architect…Richard Kahn was the accountant who kept the lights on.
A longtime Epstein financial adviser…Kahn knew where the money was…and where it went. He set up trusts. Managed ledgers. Oversaw filings that made illicit flows look clean.
Victims allege Kahn played a role in arranging sham marriages for trafficked women… designed to lock them into Epstein’s control. He denies it. But a federal judge let those claims proceed.
Kahn’s name in SARs would show which banks flagged his activity…and how many times Epstein’s network brushed up against law enforcement’s radar…only to keep humming.
Accountants don’t usually make headlines. But this one just might.
Harry Beller: The Shadow Associate
You probably haven’t heard of Harry Beller. That’s exactly why he matters.
Investigators in the Virgin Islands subpoenaed him. Wyden put his name in the letter. That means he wasn’t just a casual contact.
Investigators believe he was involved in moving money…signing papers…and acting as an intermediary.
The fact that regulators want his communications tells us this: Beller was part of the wiring behind the walls. Not famous. Not flashy. But essential.
The men you never hear about are often the ones pulling the levers.
Erika Kellerhals: The Tax Shelter Specialist
Epstein needed more than pilots and recruiters. He needed lawyers who could keep the IRS at bay.
Enter Erika Kellerhals…a Virgin Islands tax attorney.
She specialized in entity structuring…cross-border planning…and tax litigation. Her name pops up in Epstein’s charities and property filings in the Caribbean.
Kellerhals was the person who knew how to turn an island fortress into a “charitable trust.” Who could shuffle deeds from Epstein’s name to a foundation to a shell…burying ownership behind a fog of paperwork.
Her name in SARs means the banks were flagging those transactions. And if Treasury hands them over…we’ll see how the tax shelters really worked.
Jes Staley: The Banker Who Couldn’t Quit
Jes Staley was a titan of finance. Senior at JPMorgan. Later CEO of Barclays.
And he couldn’t quit Jeffrey Epstein.
Staley exchanged more than 1,200 emails with Epstein. He defended him as a client even after his 2008 conviction. He flew to Epstein’s island. He misled UK regulators about the relationship and got banned from banking for life.
Wyden wants Staley’s SARs because they prove something bigger than friendship: Wall Street didn’t just tolerate Epstein. It enabled him.
If the SARs show banks flagged Epstein’s wires while Staley waved them through… that’s smoking-gun evidence of complicity at the highest levels of finance.
Leon and Debra Black: The Billionaire’s ATM
No one funneled more money to Epstein than Leon Black…co-founder of Apollo Global.
Between 2012 and 2017…Black paid Epstein nearly $170 million for “tax and estate advice.”
That’s not a typo. One hundred seventy million.
Debra Black…his wife…wasn’t passive. As secretary of the family foundation…she signed off on documents acknowledging Epstein’s role…even after his conviction.
Wyden wants those SARs because they’ll show how those wires were processed. Which banks raised alarms. Who signed off.
Critics argue that Black’s extraordinary payments to Epstein bought silence…power… and untouchability.
The Wexners: Epstein’s Gateway Client
Les Wexner. Abigail Wexner. Bella Wexner.
Les Wexner…the billionaire behind Victoria’s Secret…gave Epstein more than friendship. He gave him power of attorney over his finances. Epstein lived in Wexner’s townhouse. Bought properties through Wexner’s umbrella. Even ran charities tied to his family.
When the scandal broke…Wexner claimed Epstein “misappropriated” $46 million. But you don’t give someone total financial control without deep trust.
Abigail Wexner co-ran the Wexner Foundation…where Epstein served as a trustee for years. Bella…Les’s mother…was a longtime corporate insider at The Limited.
SARs with the Wexner name would show the origin story of Epstein’s climb. Without Wexner…there may never have been an Epstein empire.
Alan Dershowitz: The Legal Firewall
Alan Dershowitz didn’t just defend Epstein. He built the firewall.
He helped negotiate the infamous 2008 non-prosecution agreement in Florida…a sweetheart deal that protected Epstein and his co-conspirators from serious federal charges.
Dershowitz has faced his own accusations (which he denies and settled in defamation court). But here’s the point: Epstein didn’t just buy influence in nightclubs. He bought it in courtrooms.
Dershowitz’s presence in SARs would show how deeply Epstein’s money intersected with his legal battles….and which lawyers helped turn predators into “philanthropists.”
Glenn Dubin: The Hedge Fund Titan Who Kept Inviting
Glenn Dubin…billionaire co-founder of Highbridge Capital…wasn’t just a casual acquaintance.
Epstein invested millions in his hedge fund. He helped broker Highbridge’s sale to JPMorgan.
And even after Epstein’s conviction…Dubin and his wife…Eva (a former Epstein girlfriend), invited him to Thanksgiving dinner.
Giuffre alleged Dubin abused her. He denied it. Virgin Islands prosecutors subpoenaed his records anyway.
SARs tied to Dubin could show how Epstein funneled money through Highbridge and Engineers Gate…blending financial respectability with personal darkness.
Elizabeth Johnson: The Heiress Client
Elizabeth Johnson…an heiress of the Johnson & Johnson family fortune.
Reports and testimony suggest Epstein managed her money…structured trusts…and received property as compensation.
Her name in SARs shows Epstein wasn’t just a predator. He was a financial consigliere to America’s dynasties.
This isn’t gossip. It’s a map of how wealth intersects with corruption.
Malcolm Grumbridge: The Maxwell Family Fixer
Malcolm Grumbridge…a British solicitor…served as the Maxwell family’s lawyer for decades.
He created shell companies and trusts. He was later disbarred for compliance failures. His name appears in Epstein’s black book.
If his name shows up in SARs…it means Epstein’s financial web wasn’t just American. It was international…stretching into the UK offshore networks where secrecy is a service.
Grumbridge is the connective tissue between Epstein and the Maxwells’ financial empire.
Scott Borgerson: The Husband in the Shadows
Scott Borgerson married Ghislaine Maxwell in 2016. A former Coast Guard officer. Founder of CargoMetrics…a maritime tech firm.
When Maxwell was arrested…Borgerson stepped down from his company amid scrutiny.
Why is his name in Wyden’s letter? Because SARs likely show transfers tied to Maxwell’s finances…and Borgerson’s companies may have been part of that network.
If true…it means Epstein’s reach wasn’t just hedge funds and retail moguls. It was bleeding-edge tech too.
The Bigger Picture
Take a step back.
Indyke and Kahn kept the books.
Kellerhals and Grumbridge built the walls.
Staley and Black moved the money.
The Wexners and Johnsons gave legitimacy.
Dubin and Borgerson provided cover.
Dershowitz defended the castle.
That’s not a list of coincidences. That’s a machine.
And Ron Wyden just asked Treasury to pop the hood.
Why the Media Distracts You
Why do you see headlines about birthday cards and party photos?
Because they’re easy. They’re safe. They’re visual.
You don’t see investigative specials on Indyke’s trust structures or Kellerhals’ tax filings. You don’t see prime-time breakdowns of Leon Black’s $170 million payments.
Because those stories cut too close to the bone. They implicate advertisers. They risk lawsuits. They scare executives.
So they give you fireworks while the forest fire burns behind the curtain.
What Happens If Wyden Wins
If Wyden gets the SARs released…here’s what happens:
We see who paid Epstein…how much…and when.
We see which banks looked the other way.
We see how billionaires and institutions laundered his legitimacy.
It’s not just scandal. It’s systemic rot.
And it will force America to face a brutal truth: Epstein wasn’t a lone wolf. He was a project.
Final Word
History will not remember Epstein as just one predator.
It will remember him as the Rosetta Stone of elite corruption.
And every name in Wyden’s letter is a clue in that code.
The question is: will we ever get to read it?
Be sure to read the Daily Kick…below.
Back soon. Stay strong…I know you will.

P.S. If you’re a paid subscriber…buckle in. Later today…I’ll drop a follow-up: the SARs nobody wants you to see…the banks that waved them through…and the names that could make even billionaires sweat.
Because the birthday cards are bullshit. The steak is in the wires. And I’ll serve it bloody.
The Old Boxer’s Secret
An old fighter was asked how he managed to stay dangerous after decades of brutal matches.
He said: “Most men train for the punches they throw. I train for the punches I take.”
That’s resilience in a nutshell. Anybody can look tough when they’re winning…when the crowd is cheering…when every punch lands. The measure of a champion isn’t how he performs when everything goes right. It’s how he endures when everything goes wrong.
That’s life. You can script the perfect plan…but the universe doesn’t care. You will get hit. You will take shots you never saw coming. You will hit the mat.
The old boxer’s secret wasn’t speed or strength. It was conditioning his mind and body to absorb the blows…to rise after being floored…and to keep fighting until the other man quit first.
The lesson:
Don’t just train for the sunny days. Train for the storm. Don’t just build for when life cooperates. Build for when it doesn’t. That’s when most people fold.
And that’s when you become unstoppable.
Mille Grazie for putting this all together for us in a clear understandable form. I agree that the birthday card is just a shiny obstacle trying to distract everyone from the more important information. This is a truly vile disgusting enterprise they were all involved in and the GOP going along with the cover up makes it worse. There is not a backbone or a shred of decency in any of them.
Okay so where do I start. First, thank you. You well and truly enlivened our post prandial chatter after lunch here in Europe. Second, Johnson and Johnson. Aaaah such probity! I think it was on this substack that I told in reply to another of your excellent analyses, the sorry tale of an Australian acquaintance who, decades ago, had partnered with an inventor of a child friendly cockroach toxic cupboard mat. The J in that story , which invited my acquaintance to show and tell to them in the USA at his own expense on the promise that they would buy his patent and make him a squillionaire overnight , but, after naively leaving them with a sample of said mat , heard zilch from them for months until they wrote to him telling him to stop bothering them: they had cracked patent and he could fuck off, was Johnson and Johnson.
