In all, more than a dozen Trump first term advisers, Cabinet members and major donors appear in the leaked offshore data. Included in that data is 500 pages detailing the activities of an Epstein offshore vehicle in the Bermuda-founded offshore services provider Appleby.

The documents show that by the mid-2000s Epstein’s firm had started working with Appleby. From at least 2000 to 2007, Epstein chaired a company registered in Bermuda called Liquid Funding Ltd. The entity was partially owned by the investment bank Bear Stearns, where Epstein had worked.

Epstein’s offshore company was loaded up with mortgage-backed securities and collateralized loan obligations — that would become synonymous with the financial excesses leading to the financial crisis.

The three main credit rating agencies — Standard & Poor’s, Fitch Ratings and Moody’s Investors Service — all helped Bear Stearns create the securities in a way that would allow the creative bundling to get a gold-plated AAA rating. The creative bundling of a child rapist and sex trafficker.

McClatchy reporters were able to reach one director, Marcus Klug, listed in the leaked documents as helping administer Epstein’s offshore vehicle. The company, of course, was a shell & its directorship duties pro forma. There was never a board meeting or a call between board members,” Klug said.

Follow the Appleby money. Epstein and Trump were both tied to it at the same time.

@weeklyshowpodcast.bsky.social & @colbertlateshow.bsky.social & @stephencolbert & @jonstewartdaily.bsky.social please shine your spotlight on The Paradise Papers! And please encourage the world to believe the victims who have already courageously spoken out about #Epstein and #PresidentCaligula.

A screenshot from Wikipedia about the Roman Emperor Caligula. The image at the top is a white marble statue of his head and neck with a red background. The text is as follows. “Caligula Roman emperor from AD 37 to 41 For other uses, see Caligula (disambiguation). Gaius Caesar Augustus Germanicus (31 August 12 - 24 January 41), also called Gaius and Caligula (/koligjule/), was Roman emperor from AD 37 until his assignation in 41.” The author of this post hopes that #PresidentCaligula dies of old age, with the memories of his intentional cruelty and his well-deserved fear of death as his only company. A screenshot from Wikipedia about the Roman Emperor Caligula. The text is as follows. “Of the few surviving sources about Caligula and his four-year reign, most were written by members of the nobility and senate, long after the events they purport to describe. For the early part of his reign, he is said to have been A screenshot from Wikipedia about the Roman Emperor Caligula. The text is as follows. “During his brief reign, Caligula worked to increase the unconstrained personal power of the emperor, as opposed to countervailing powers within the principate. He directed much of his attention to ambitious construction projects and public works to benefit Rome's ordinary citizens, including racetracks, theatres, amphitheatres, and improvements to roads and ports. He began the construction of two aqueducts in Rome: the Aqua Claudia and the Anio Novus.” If only #PresidentCaligula could do anything to benefit “ordinary citizens” or anyone who is not immediately useful to him.

"Hey, Taco President, let's talk about The Paradise Papers." "Why?" "Because both you and Epstein are tied to it."
