Speaker 2: Welcome to another edition of the look Back episode. Today,
we're going to take a look back at Darren Endyke,
and to do that, we're going to use an article
from twenty nineteen that ran in the Wall Street Journal.
The author of this article is Gretchen Morgensen. Headline, Jeffrey
Epstein's little known lawyer lands in the spotlight. Disgraced financier
Pedophile's attorney co executor of his will worked for Epstein
for over twenty five years as he expanded business and
social ties. So Darren Endyke was a huge part of
what Epstein had going on. Right, here's the in house lawyer.
I call him his Tom Hagen almost So it's always
a good idea to add a little more meat to
the bone, a little more context to the topic. So
let's dive in. Jeffrey Epstein's longtime lawyer has operated behind
the scenes for decades. Now he finds himself in the
spotlight over the scandal surrounding the disgraced financier. Pedophile. Darren
Endyke was named co executor of mister Epstein's will, will
filed earlier this month in a US Virgin Islands court,
a document mister Epstein signed two days before his apparent suicide.
Mister Indike and mister Epstein had worked together for more
than twenty five years as mister Epstein expanded his business
and social ties. So you mean to tell me this
Marmee son of a bitch worked with Jeffrey Epstein for
all these years, twenty five years. His signature is littered
across paperwork that you wouldn't believe a guy that has
been accused of facilitating marriages, structuring money transactions at the bank,
and this man has not been put under oath yet
you mean to tell me there's no indictment for this guy.
Why don't we refer back to that Rico article that
we read earlier today, as federal prosecutors investigate mister Epstein's
operations and some of his alleged sexual assault survivors seek
to recover assets from his estate. Mister Indyke has hired
a criminal defense lawyer, though no charges have been filed
against him. Now. When this happened and he hired that lawyer,
I thought it was fishy then, and I still believe
that there is a grand jury impaneled as we speak,
and it's likely that eventually, at some point we see
some sort of charges against mister Indyke. That would be
my guess. Obviously, I don't have inside information or a
track to somebody on the inside, none of that, but
it would be my guess that at some point mister
Endyke is indicted, and when he goes and hires a
lawyer like he did, obviously he thought that he was
in jeopardy of ending up in trouble. Among his wide
ranging work as an attorney, mister Endyke set up companies
for mister Epstein and his colleagues, represented mister Epstein in
real estate deals, and handled matters involving his charitable giving.
Public records show all of that is crucial to the
RICO operation, right and when you look at what the
RICO laws are, the predicates, all of this fits right in.
So again I leave it up to you to discern
how and why we don't have a RICO case here.
But mister Dyke was in the middle of all of it.
Anything that Epstein was up to, Aaron Endyke was right
there at his side the whole way. Twenty five years
at least, he also invested alongside mister Epstein, and at
least one instance contributed to politicians favored by mister Epstein
and represented him in a federal election Commission matter involving
an excessive political donation public records indicate. So he's just
following suit right Epstein to avoid whatever the laws are
for donating too much money, just give the money to
Indyke and tell him to donate it in his name.
Why not? They were so engaged in money laundering crimes
and plots and schemes that this was a nothing to them.
This was a given pulling a lick like this, right.
Mister Endike also once had an address at the Manhattan
condominium building where several Epstein employees lived, according to real
estate records. Now that's the building on E. Sixty six,
where a lot of the traffic girls lived, the employees lived,
and allegedly his brother Mark Epstein is a co owner
of the building. So they kept everything in house, right.
They wanted to make sure that everything that they had
going on was locked in and connected and that they
could be in control of all of it because they
had to be able to maneuver. They had to be
able to move things in the way they wanted them
to move so that there wouldn't be any gum in
the operation. Right, have all the girls in one central location.
You don't got to track them down. You can keep
track of them and off to the races. That building
was purchased in early nineteen nineties by a former affiliate
of Jeffrey Epstein and Company, mister Epstein's investment firm. Real
estate records and New York State filings show all that
means the fifty four year old lawyer could attract the
attention of anyone hoping to track mister Epstein's financial holdings
worth at least five hundred and seventy seven million, according
to court papers filed with his will, And we all
know it was much more than that. We all know
it was a lot more than that. Six hundred and
eighty million or something is what they had the official
number at. But if you add up all the other
shitty had going on, I wonder how much it really was.
How much is still sitting in accounts that nobody knows
about but maybe mister Endyke or maybe mister Kahn. Another
wrinkle in mister Epstein's case involves how much of mister
Dyke's work is protected by attorney client privilege. Well, if
he's doing something illegal, then attorney prime client privilege it
doesn't apply. So if they're engaged in a criminal conspiracy together,
that goes out the window. If you know they're once
again engaging in rico predicates, which they were, that goes
right out the window. And the Feds wouldn't even care
about that. They just that would get mopped up in
court real quick. When a lawyer conducts business dealings for
a client that don't involve legal advice or representation, that
work isn't covered by the privilege, said Peter Joy, a
law professor at Washington University in Saint Louis. That as well.
So if you're doing something like this and it's not
you know, has to do with the actual case or
with something legal, then it's not protected by confidentiality. Mister
Indike declined to comment for this article through Mark Agnafillo,
his criminal defense lawyer. Shit shocking. We haven't heard anything
from this guy because honestly, he knows the deal and
as a lawyer, he knows to keep his yap shut.
He's not going to incriminate himself, and Indyke's not going
to be an easy man to take down or to indict. Again.
He's a lawyer, he knows what's up, and he's been
along for every step of this journey. If anyone has
the secrets, I know a lot of people are like, oh,
it's Max. Well, I'm telling you right now, it's Darren
Endyke and this guy. Look, I'm not saying he's one
hundred percent guilty of anything, right, I don't know. I
wasn't there, but shit doesn't look good for him, and
I think that a good, thorough investigation that includes him
being at the very least opposed under oath by an
interrogator is probably a good idea in this instance. Mister
Indyke declined to comment for this article through Mark Agnafhilo
as criminal defense lawyer. Mister Epstein died August tenth in
a New York federal jail cell of what a coroner
said was a suicide. Allegedly, he had pleaded not guilty
to sex trafficking counts arising from a scheme federal prosecutor
said involves sexual abuse of dozens of girls. In two
thousand and eight, mister Epstein pleaded guilty in Florida to
two counts related to prostitution. Oh yeah, it's exactly what
it was, right, little girl's prostitution because they can consent.
He went to jail, but was allowed to participate in
a work release program later that year. And we know
that that work release program was garbage anyway, he manipulated it.
He was able to still abuse girls while he was
under their care. According to several people, so did what
were they really doing? Nothing? It was all for appearances, right.
While mister Epstein hired criminal defense attorneys to represent him
in the prostitution case, mister Dyke frequently visited mister Epstein
in jail. Court record show. In July two thousand and nine,
mister Epstein was released early, having served thirteen months of
an eighteen month sentence and Again, Anyone who doesn't understand
the relationship between Indyke and Epstein, They're not going to
understand the nexus of all of this. This is one
of the most crucial relationships Epstein ever created. This was
his go to guy. This was the man he could
feel secure with, the guy he would send for his
in house law needs.

Speaker 2: Mister Indite graduated from Cornell's University Law School in nineteen
ninety one, according to the university's website, and joined the
New York State Bar in nineteen ninety two. He owns
a house in Livingston, New Jersey, purchased in two thousand
and three for one point seven million dollars, and one
he bought in Boca Raton Florida in twenty fifteen for
three point one million dollars cash. Public record show man,
this guy has a lot of money for a lawyer
who doesn't have any clients. But the one wonder where
he's getting all that money from. I'm sure all of
it is made legally. Mister Endyke also owns a condominium
in Saint Thomas and the US Virgin Islands, where mister
Epstein owned two private islands. Public records show over the
past two decades, mister Endyke has made open record requests
to three federal agencies on behalf of mister Epstein. It
couldn't be determined what kind of information mister Epstein was
seeking or whether any was produced. Again, the relationship between
these two cannot be dismissed. It wasn't just a mirror, Oh,
you're my lawyer, go take care of this. It was
more of a where boys and you're my lawyer, go
take care of this if you get my drift. In
twenty thirteen, mister Endyke requested records from the US Customs
and Border Protection on behalf of mister Epstein. The type
of records obtainable under such requests, according to the CPB
website are information pertaining to an individual's US entries and exits,
apprehension detentions, and results of background checks. Can only imagine
what he was up to with that, huh? All the
girls they were bringing in from overseas. In March twenty fourteen,
mister Endyke asked the National Security Agency for documents, communications, memorandums, orders, agreements,
and or instructions related to mister Epstein dating back to
two thousand. The record for the request is marked denial
of information and below that not closed. Well, I would
hope they wouldn't give him that information, but when we're
dealing with Epstein and the shadow that he cast, you
never know. Mister Epstein, excuse me. Mister Endyke also has
ties to mister Epstein's main investment client, Leslie Wexner, the
billionaire founder of retailers L Brands and Victoria's secret Mister
Wexner said in a statement several weeks ago that mister
Epstein stole more than forty six million dollars from him.
The statement made no mention of mister Dyke. Again, I
never believe that Epstein's stole that money from Les Wexner.
Wexner gave him that money, and then this was all
their plan when shit went south. If you ever got caught,
I'll just say you stole this money from me, and
that will cement our breakaway from each other. That's they
really think we're that stupid. In nineteen ninety nine, mister
Dyke was secretary of the nonprofit Wexner Foundation. Securities filing
show A year earlier, mister Indyke supplied an affid David
in a legal dispute in New York federal court against
a German shipbuilder that it constructed mister Wexner's three hundred
and sixteen foot yacht Limitless. Oh these people, they just
you know, the oligarch conversation. Yeah, we're back at that.
Representatives for mister Wexter and l Brands didn't respond to
requests for comment. Mister Dyke also invested alongside mister Epstein
at least once. Regulatory filing show in two thousand and four,
mister Indyke held an unspecified stake in Second Capital Partners,
a private equity firm specializing in real estate investments. I
wonder why there were so gung ho about real estate investments.
Could it be that they can't be traced, that nobody
knows who owns what, so nobody can follow the money,
So nobody knows what you're up to. Nah, that has
nothing to do with it. One of mister Epstein's foundations,
for which mister Endyke was an officer, also held a
second City Capital partner stake at the time. Mister Dyke moreover,
was a registered agent for multiple companies located in the
New York address of a Jay Epstein in Company, and
he assisted mister Epstein in his nineteen ninety three purchase
of the Zoro Ranch, a vast property near Albuquerque, New Mexico,
actually near Santa Fe. And again, can we get this
guy on record. I'm not calling for people to show
up at his house. And you know, use some old
Western justice. Can the lawges work for once? And these
scumbags that have a mountain of evidence against them be
dragged in, kicking and screaming if they have to be
held to account. Is that too much to ask? And
lisas show that the ranch is owned by Cyprus Incorporated
of the US Virgin Islands, and that mister Dyke is
a vice president of Cyprus. A number of donations mister
Dyke made the politicians over the years mirrored those made
by mister Epstein, according to the Center of Responsive Politics.
On August second, excuse me. On August fourth, twenty sixteen,
for example, mister Indyke donated two seven hundred dollars to
US Representative Stacey Plaskett, a Virgin Islands Democrat. Mister Epstein
also donated to her that day record show, and on
July twenty third, twenty eighteen, mister Indyke and mister Epstein
both made donations to miss Plaskett. Anybody asked Miss Plaskett
where this money came from? Or Nah, no big deal,
We're just gonna go with the whole Oh, the Virgin
Islands was wronged here and they should get some money
on the back side. It is all Ludacris, folks, and
as you see, Darren Endyke most certainly deserves a closer look.
