SDNY COURTHOUSE, Dec
13 -- During the break following the first
week of the Maxwell trial, Kurt had gone out
to Coney Island, to Seagate, to the origin
of the crime or criminal of Jeffrey Epstein.
If he were in the UK or Czech Republic
perhaps he would go on a different, Maxwell
tour.
But the Epstein story, before Palm Beach,
New Mexico, and the US Virgin Islands,
before Saudi Arabia, Paris and Morocco, was
pure New York. Including, at first through
arms dealers and later straight pay-offs,
the New York-based United Nations.
After
being placed as a fox in the chicken coop
of and by Bill Barr pere at Dalton, in its
now-woke complex on 89th Street, and a
stint at Bear Sterns later to be bought
out with the Federal Reserve's help and no
public comment by JP Morgan Chase, Epstein
had set up in the Solo Building on 66th
Street in Manhattan.
If only he had
truly stayed Solo, pleasuring himself
rather than forcing girls to do so.
Epstein was essentially a repo man, going
after money, as well as stealing an
investment for oil from Michael Stroll.
Now Kurt at the
SDNY courthouse dug into this first
lawsuit against Epstein, Stroll
v. Epstein, 92-cv-1021 before Judge
Kenneth Conboy. It was for breach of
contract and was filed on February 10,
1992. While Epstein moved for summary
judgment on March 16, 1992, now the docket
in the SDNY did not list any lawyer
representing him. Had his counsel
withdrawn his name?
Because
a copy of Judge Conboy's pro-Epstein
order, unlike the docket on PACER, did
list Epstein's lawyer: "Elliot Silverman,
Gold & Wachtel, New York City, for
defendant."With all the solemnity of the law,
it went like this:
"CONBOY, District Judge: We have before us
an action for breach of contract.
Plaintiff Michael R. Stroll seeks to
recover from defendant Jeffrey Epstein
money allegedly owed pursuant to a
contract in which Stroll relinquished his
interest in a joint venture. Epstein
asserts that he executed the contract in a
representative capacity, as an agent for
the venture and as an officer of the
Intercontinental Asset Group ('I.A.G.'),
and that, therefore, he is not personally
liable under the contract. Pending before
the Court are two motions: (1) defendant
Epstein's motion to dismiss the complaint
for failure to state a claim upon which
relief can be granted, or, in the
alternative, for summary judgment...
Epstein's motion for summary judgment is
granted." But Kurt would dig further.
Beyond
this dead case and another one by
Hoffenberg, it was the arms dealers that
caught Kurt's eye. Before being thrown out
of the UN he had reported on the UN
bribery of the China Energy Fund
Committee, which as well as trying to buy
the oil company of Gulbenkian Foundation,
payments from which UN Secretary General
Antonio Guterres omitted from his public
financial disclosure, has offered the
thirty year president or dictator of Chad
weapons for an oil concession.
That
deal had began right in the UN General
Assembly on 45th Street, when CEFC's
Patrick Ho had waddled across First Avenue
from the Trump International Tower to meet
Sam Kutesa in the UN PGA's office, the
same one now occupied by Adbulla Shahid of
the Maldives.
The UN had found ways to replace Epstein's
money -- Ng Lap Seng, for example, and
CEFC and even Maxwell's Terramar, through
Amir Dossal. But the blood money had yet
to flow as easy and greasily as it did
under Epstein through IPI, with the Gates
Foundation and affiliates now partnership
with Guterres' Melissa Fleming. She had a
faux publicly-funded podcast called Awake
at Night - quite ironic for a supporter of
pedophilia, through censorship.
Adnan
Khashoggi was not only a merchant of death
and father of now dead Jamal the op-ed
writer. He was also a diplomat of sorts,
working the Saudi - Israel beat. The irony
if you could call it that continued under
Guterres, who smiling took a big check
from Saudi Crown Prince Mohammed Bin
Salman fresh off his killing of Jamal with
a bone saw in the Saudi consulate in
Istanbul.
But Adnan was down with the UN,
along with Douglas Leese, and the UN was
down with Adnan. Now the UN was just down,
doubling down on Epstein's child rape and
going ever younger, in ever poorer
countries.
From West Palm Beach to the refugee
hangars in the airport in Bangui in the
Central African Republic, both sought
victims and then evaded the law. But while
Epstein was finally arrested getting off
his private jet in New Jersey in 2019, the
UN and Guterres still thumbed their nose
at the law. For how much longer? #MaximumMaxwell.
