Bard Is Reviewing Leon Botstein's Epstein Ties. DOJ Files Show The Trail It Has To Answer.
Leon Botstein has framed Jeffrey Epstein as a prospective donor, not a friend. DOJ files show a longer accountability trail for Bard's review: post-conviction scheduling, campus logistics, repeated meetings, and a 2018 watch repayment chain routed through Epstein's office.
DOJ Files Show Obama White House Counsel Kathryn Ruemmler's Epstein Trail Reached 2019

What Epstein's DOJ Files Show About Barnaby Marsh and a 180-Day Offshore Workaround
A 2009 email shows Jeffrey Epstein telling philanthropy strategist Barnaby Marsh to set up an offshore entity so trust fees could flow through a company that might "alleviate" the need to be "anywhere more than 180 days." Later DOJ pages place Marsh in meetings and breakfasts with Epstein through 2017.

Richard Kahn Told Congress He Saw No 'Red Flags.' The DOJ Files Tell a Different Story.
Epstein's longtime accountant testified under oath that he never saw signs of abuse and that his role was 'strictly professional.'

Darren Indyke Signed the Wires, Structured the Cash, and Ran 15 Epstein Shell Entities
Deutsche Bank's own AML unit caught Epstein's personal lawyer withdrawing cash from both his account and Epstein's on consecutive days to stay below reporting thresholds — and he asked the teller if same-day withdrawals would trigger a report. One DOJ page lists him as authorized signer on 15+ Epstein shell entities. He directed transfers from $1,160 to $20 million through JPMorgan and Deutsche Bank. The FBI created FinCEN alerts for him alongside Ghislaine Maxwell. Five US senators demanded in December 2025 to know why the DOJ has never questioned him.

Richard Kahn Was Inside Epstein's Wires, Southern Trust, and a $20 Million Bequest

Leon Black Paid $158 Million to Epstein. FBI Testimony Alleged a Trafficking Ring. No Charges.
An FBI interview states Leon Black 'ran a sex trafficking ring,' flew a victim to Epstein's Florida home, and transferred $10 million to Epstein after forcing her to sign an NDA. A second victim — a 16-year-old — alleges Black violently raped her at Epstein's townhouse. Black paid $62.5 million to the U.S. Virgin Islands to make the government's claims disappear. The Manhattan DA found victims credible but filed no charges. At least 1,668 DOJ documents mention his name.
