Latest fun stuff from the Epstein files...and wow it's a rabbit hole.
Someone took all the photos in the Epstein files and ran an AI program to identify all the artwork on the walls of Epstein Island and cross-referenced it with known art thefts of original masterpieces.
Woo hoo! TWO hits, two multi-million dollar paintings.
BUT WAIT THERE'S MORE....
Two of the "stolen" paintings were accepted as collateral by Deutsche Bank for a half million dollar line of credit used often by Epstein. Remarkably, there was no "counenance letter" (sp?) required, i.e. "Show us a bill of sale indicating you legally own this".
BUT WAIT THERE'S EVEN MORE!
Much of the artwork on the walls was technically the property of billionaire Leon Black, who was long considered one of the premier money launderer in the United States and was infamous for demanding "the youngest of the young" on Epstein Island. Black owned hundreds of million dollars in rare paintings.
BUT WAIT...YEP EVEN MORE!
In the Epstein files there WERE "countenance letters" for Leon Black's legally acquired art.
BUT
There were also two "expert valuations" for each rare painting.
A LOWBALL valuation from Sotheby's art house to lower estate tax liability
And
A HIGHBALL valuation from Christy's Auction House art appraiser that was used to secure dozens of inflated lines of credit for each painting. Classic money laundering and income tax fraud.
You might recall Mushbrain used the Lowball/Highball technique to value his personal NY penthouse, Lowball for NY tax purposes, Highball for mortgage security with, you guessed it, Deutsche bank.
Deutsche Bank appears to have been the money laundering pipeline of choice for billionaires in America.
