Total imbalance: $476.4M

More outflow than inflow:

Unaccounted-for money: $99.8M

Here's what I'm thinking: Entity A took in the dirty cash. An "Entity B" not listed here picked it up and moved it to "Entity C," and when Entity C gets rid of the money it's clean, pressed,. starched and has nice crisp creases in it.

Somewhere between Entity A and Entity C, someone skimmed damn near $100 million. I suspect it was Epstein.

This throws a huge wrench into the "Trump had Epstein murdered to keep him from telling the feds who Trump was playing Hide the Mushroom with" theory. If Epstein stole $100 million from people he was laundering money for, there are plenty of people with both the motivation and the means to have him killed in jail. It's still thoroughly possible that Trump is the responsible individual but he's no longer the only candidate.

The one name I don't see In this report, and kinda expect to, is Donald Trump. How many layers of insulation did Trump have between himself and Epstein's network?
