Speaker 1: What's up, everyone, and welcome to another episode of the
Epstein Chronicles. Jeffrey Epstein had several people that were very,
very close to him, and one of those people was
his accountant, Richard Kahn. And not only that, but they
were so close that Jeffrey Epstein named Richard Kahn as
one of the executors of his estate. Well, yesterday, Richard
Kahn had an appearance before Congress where he was deposed
about his ties to Jeffrey Epstein, and of course we're
getting some preliminary reports about what was said. Now, like usual,
we're not going to go too deep here in this
episode because we don't have the actual deposition in front
of us. So instead we'll just talk about some of
the general answers and questions that came out after the
deposition wrapped up, and then, of course, once we have
the transcripts, we'll get those added to the catalog. This
article was published by ABC News and the headline Epstein's
accountant says he didn't see any red flags for abuse
or trafficking. Hold up, did they say, Richard Kahn or
Stevie Wonder? Because you'd have to be blind as hell
not to see any red flags. There were more red
flags here than a CCP rally in China? Are you
kidding me? Right now? No red flags? And I'm seventeen
feet tall. This article was authored by Peter Charlombeau, Lauren Peller,
John Parkinson, and j O'Brien. In his opening statement to
the House Oversight Committee, Jeffrey Epstein's longtime accountant, claimed that
he did not see any red flags in Epstein's finances
that indicated the late convicted sex offender was trafficking women,
according to his prepared remarks obtained by ABC News, and
it's the same song and dance that we've heard time
and time again. I had no idea was never around them.
I was just, you know, paying a couple of bills
here and there. I had no idea that he was
engaged in all this criminality. Meanwhile, Kahn and Endyke have
their names littered, literally littered over the vast majority of
deals that Epstein was involved in. So how can you
tell me you had no idea what Epstein was up to.
You knew, and not only that, in my opinion, you
personally benefited. Now with that said, I'm not saying that
they abused anybody I don't know, nobody ever said that,
but they were a huge part in the machine. And
we all know that Epstein and Maxwell couldn't do what
they did without the help of others, and certainly somebody
like Richard Kahan, or maybe we should just call him
Dick Con, that might be more fitting. Richard Khan told
blawmakers on Wednesday he was unaware of Epstein's crimes and
claimed he only interacted with Epstein's strictly on a professional level.
Oh well, okay, I guess if that's what you want
to call it, which is weird considering so many people
pulled us how close that Richard Khan and Jeffrey Epstein were.
But I guess they were all lying, and Richard Kahn's
telling the truth. While Epstein was alive, I never observed
any sexual abuse or trafficking of women, and never received
a complaint either by one of Epstein's victims or anyone
else of such abuse or trafficking. He said, yeah, I mean,
Epstein and Khan obviously just acquaintances. They weren't that close,
and the only reason that Epstein made Khan an executor
is to make CON's life more difficult. Letter on down
the road. Oh wait, that didn't happen, and KHN could
have easily just turned down being an executor, but he didn't. Okay,
I wonder why. And furthermore, how is it that KHN
and mister Endyke weren't wrapped up in some kind of
rico caase you want to talk about a gigantic conspiracy,
you want to talk about rico, It's all right here,
the same shit they were trying to hit Ditty with.
They should have dropped directly into Jeffrey Epstein's lap. And
if they would have done that, we would have been
talking about something completely different at this point. But unfortunately
that was never going to happen. And the narrow scope
of the investigation and the charges prove that. How do
you have an investigation where the FBI calls Les Wexner
a possible co conspirator but nobody ever talks to him.
How is that considered an investigation? It's not. What it
is is a gigantic jerk off, That's what it is.
So you can save your fougazy bullshit for somebody else.
We already know that no investigation took place, because, in
my opinion, if it did, mister Kahn would be giving
this interview from behind bars can acknowledge that Epstein gave
gifts to both women and men and said they accounted
for a very small fraction, oh of Epstein's spending. Well,
I'm sure that that's true. Epstein was somebody that was
spending a lot of money on a lot of different things.
But there's no doubt that he was giving out an
absurd amount of money as hush money to these women,
zero doubt. And it was all part of the web, right,
the web of coercion, and the financial part of it
was so that later on down the road, meaning now
Epstein supporters, I can't even believe I'm saying that, And
people that want this to go away can just point
to those payments and say, look, these girls, these women
that were all prostitutes, they wanted it. Did you see
the short dress they were wearing. That might as well
be what you're saying. And I rejected entirely. I did
not see them as red flags for abuse or trafficking.
He said. So after Epstein's first arrest, no big deal.
You're just like, ah, you know, he was just framed.
All the evidence that came out, all the smart people
year around. You're being a smart person yourself. Allegedly you
had no idea what Jeffrey Epstein was and there were
no red flags that concerned you. That is quite the leap.
But unfortunately, there's nothing that's ever gonna happen to anybody,
even the ones that lie in of Congress. What's Congress
is gonna do? Send them a strongly worded letter, have
a little press conference about them. I mean, that's about
the extent of their oversight and the extent of their power.
They're not going to do anything worthwhile. And this whole
entire thing is nothing more than political theater when we're
talking about this committee, and I've told you that from
the very beginning. And if it wasn't for the discharge petition,
forget it, this would have been done, buried and gone.
He argued that Epstein's financial practices were completely standard practice.
Concett Epstein told him his two thousand arrest was a mistake,
that he did not know the girls were underage. Con
said he believed him at the time. Had he known
the truth, con said he would have quit work immediately.
Oh yeah, sure you would have. Because the truth wasn't
very clear. How many of these guys are going to
use that excuse. Oh well, I believed Epstein saying that
he was set up, saying that you know, the girl
was seventeen and ten months And if you're wondering why
I'm so apoplectic about what happened in Florida, this is
why it gives all these people the cover they need
to try and smooth this over. But I refuse to
accept it. I refuse to accept any of that bullshit. Sorry,
nobody can tell me that there was a real investigation here.
Nobody can tell me that Epstein faced the kind of
scrutiny that you or I would have faced. So anybody
trying to pitch that shit, they might as well talk
to a wall, because I'm not interested in that conversation.
There is no doubt what Epstein was up to, no doubt,
and anybody that's denying it has motivations to do so
for whatever reason, but they're not motivations that come from
a good place. I can promise you that I was
not aware of the nature or extent of Epstein's abuse
of so many women until after Epstein's death. Con said, however,
it pains me to think, and I deeply regret that
I may have unknowingly assisted Epstein in any way. Oh,
there it is. Oh I don't recall. Maybe I don't know,
but if I did, it was unknowingly. This is the
kind of bullshit they're going to keep doing, the same
kind of bullshit they're going to keep saying, and the
same sort of shit they expect us just to accept.
And considering the emails I've received, I don't think anybody
out there who's listening to this program is willing to
accept their nonsense. Conserve this. Epstein's accountant for over a decade,
and some of Epstein's victims alleged he played an instrumental
role in creating the complex financial infrastructure that enabled the
financier's crimes. Well, that's true. According to all the documentation
we've seen, there's no doubt that without Cohn and without Indyke,
Epstein could have never done even close to what he did.
And that's just a fact. Con has consistently denied any
wrongdoing and says he was unaware of Epstein's crimes while
serving as his accountant. The Closed Door Deposition, a recording
of which is expected to be released by the committee,
could provide a rare window, and now Epstein paid for
his lavish lifestyle and funnel thousands of dollars to his victims. Yeah,
if you believe what Conna is saying, I don't, And
if I'm being real, I don't really believe anything people
are saying in these depositions. Nobody's scared of being under oath.
What's going to happen again? A strongly worded letter Robert Garcia,
He is going to have a press conference. Give me
a break already. While some of the recent witnesses deposed
by the House Oversight Committee, including Bill and Hillary Clinton
and retail billionaire Leslie Wexner, have drawn immense publicity, the
interviews have largely left unchanged the public's understanding of Epstein's
life and crimes all by design. That's what this committee
was built for. It was built to whitewash this. I'm
sorry to say it, but it's true. And this whole
entire dance is being led by James Comer. By turning
to Ebstein's former inner circle with Kahn and his longtime
lawyer Darren Endyke, who is set to be deposed next week,
the congressional investigation could offer a broader window into Ebstein's life,
legal troubles, and the complex web of bank accounts and
shell companies that comprised his fortune. Boy, if you think
that's going to happen, I got some seriously fantastic beachfront
property right here in Las Vegas to sell you. Nobody
is going to rat on themselves. Nobody. And these people
that are getting up there and giving depositions, they're very
aware of how not to walk into the trap of perjury.
Kahn began working as Epstein's in house accountant in the
mid two thousands and worked for Epstein until his death
in twenty nineteen. Khan and Endike served as the co
executors of his will, and Epstein planned to give Khan
twenty five million dollars. According to documents released by the
Department of Justice earlier this year. Following Epstein's death, his
estate was valued as much as six hundred and fifty million,
though the fortune has decreased over the last decade as
the estate has paid out multiple settlements to Epstein's victims.
Last month, Knnan and Dyke agreed to settle one of
the last class action lawsuits filed by victims of Epstein
for at least twenty five millillion dollars without an admission
of wrongdoing. The estate was last valued at approximately one
hundred and twenty seven million, according to a court filing
last October. And all of that should be paid out,
by the way, everybody who got assaulted, everybody who was abused,
they should be getting gigantic bags. But the truth is,
the vast majority of those girls didn't get a giant bag.
The class action complain alleged that both men were personally
essential for Epstein by helping structure as bank accounts, managing
cash withdrawals, and creating a complex financial infrastructure created to
simply facilitate the illegal sex trafficking venture. The lawsuit also
alleged that the men helped Epstein facilitate at least three
sham marriages to obtain immigration status from Epstein's victims. YO,
this is something that is going to come out later on,
and I think there's a lot more than three. Now,
I can't prove that, and I don't have any kind
of contemporaryeous evidence to back that up besides what we've heard.
And I think as we dig deeper and we hear
from more women from these different countries, if we hear
from them, then that's what we're going to find out.
That there was a vast scheme going on that had
to do with immigration fraud. Knowing that they would earn
millions of dollars in exchange for facilitating Epstein's sex abuse
and trafficking in Dikin, Khan chose money and power over
following the law. The complaint said. The settlement did not
include an admission of wrongdoing and still needs to be
approved by a federal judge. While both men were named
as defendants in the case, the settlement will also be
paid through Epstein's trust rather than by them directly. Neither
of the co executors has made any admission or concession
of misconduct, said Dan Wiener, an attorney for both men,
said in a statement to ABC News last month, that's
not surprising. Not a single woman has ever accused either
man of committing sexual abuse or witnessing sexual abuse, nor
clanned at any time that you reported to them any
allegation of mister Epstein's abuse. Well, who was sounding the checks,
who was doing the books, cooking them? Probably let's talk
about those financial crimes. Can we ever get around to that?
Or did those not matter? Lawmakers last year began increasing
their scrutiny on both Khn and Indyke following a report
in The Wall Street Journal that both men were never
questioned by law enforcement investigating Epstein and Blaine Maxwell. Yeah,
and I'm the asshole hauh for pointing it out at
the time. I remember people saying, there's no way, of
course they've been talked to. Yeah, Well, guess what the
fix was in in light of the work Indike and
con performed for Epstein and the outside role they played
in his personal and financial affairs, it's inexcusable that the
DOJ and the f never questioned these individuals in connection
with investigations into Epstein and Glinne Maxwell. A group of
five Democratic senators wrote in a letter to Attorney General
Pam Bondi an FBI Director Cash Ptel last year, a
failure of this magnitude cannot be attributed to simple oversight
or misunderstanding, and its incumbent on Congress to understand why
such a failure occurred. And by the way, it wasn't
just the Trump administration. The Biden administration tried Glene Maxwell,
and they did it with a narrow scope for the
same exact reason they were covering it up. So when
I talk about a cover up, that's what I mean,
that this has been covered up for decades now. Documents
released earlier this year offered some new details about Cohn's
role managing expenses for Epstein and serving in roles in
some of the companies that comprised the complex web of
Epstein's finances. According to a twenty twenty lawsuit against the
Epstein estate filed by the US Virgin Islands government, Epstein
paid con more than ten million dollars between twenty eleven
and twenty nineteen for his services. Ahead of his deposition,
Daniel Ruzuma, an attorney for Khan, declined to comment. So, look,
I have no idea what Khan actually said during that deposition,
but I doubt it's going to be impactful, and I
certainly doubt that he'd said anything to incriminate himself. So
I don't think that Khan or Indike are ever going
to have to answer for their bullshit when it comes
to Jeffrey Epstein, because for that to happen, there would
have to be a real investigation, and we all know
that that's not going to occur. So once we get
the deposition transcripts. We'll get those added to the catalog.
That way, we get a full accounting of what mister
Kahn had to say for himself during his appearance in
front of Congress. Information that goes with this episode can
be found in the description box.
