Epstein's Money Man Spills 9 Secrets About the Pedophile's Wealth

0:00Jeffrey Epstein's accountant, Richard Khan, the money man, the man who coordinated payments, finances, purchases, managed his estate. He was in the hot seat, grilled by the House Oversight Committee on what exactly he did and what did he know about regarding the deceased's sex offender. We're going to get into his responses. We're also going to get into the responses from lawmakers, try to understand one information he shared, as well as what the Epstein files reveal about him. Welcome to Sidebar, presented by Law and Crime. I'm Jesse Weber. Now as we're talking Epstein's money man, let me tell you something.

In the years that I provided outside accounting and bookkeeping services for Jeffrey Epstein, I was not aware of the terrible and unforgivable things that he did to women and girls. My relationship with Epstein was strictly on a professional level. That is the theme of a big day on Capitol Hill that happened yesterday. Jeffrey Epstein's Money Man testified in front of the House Oversight and Government Reform Committee, Richard Khan. You want to talk about a name that appears over and over and over again in the Epstein files. Epstein's accountant worked with him since 2005, seemingly managed his financial affairs, handled wire transfers, signed checks, taxes, distributed money on Epstein's

2:03behalf. Richard Khan, you type that in, appears over 50,000 times in the Epstein Library on the DOJ website. Now this is somebody that the committee obviously wanted to interview because they always say follow the money. What is the connective tissue? Now to give you an idea, this is the guy whose name came up when we discussed Epstein having secret storage units. Remember we had that whole discussion, did Epstein purposely direct all these materials to the storage units so they weren't on his properties. So if authorities were going to search his properties that couldn't find these things, we actually did a full sidebar episode on what appeared to be in one of those properties. But how about this? Richard Khan, apparently sending this note to Epstein in 2012, it says, we had a lot of excess equipment furnishings and supplies at 301 and trying to preserve as much usable stuff left behind such as computers, supplies, etc. I will need some time to get rid of it. If you do not care where the stuff ends up, let me know and apps can be ready sooner. Like apartments

3:04can be ready soonerized soon. That's what it means. How about this? Regarding items in what seems to be the Palm Beach Island garage, sent from Khan to Epstein in 2015, Yanush would like to review with you as he believed some items such as old computers once wiped can be discarded. Now Khan told the committee in his reportedly seven hour deposition that despite being Epstein's account working with this guy for years, serving as the co-executor of his estate. I mean, ABC News reported that Epstein was going to pay this guy $25 million that Khan said, quote, he was not aware of the nature or extent of Epstein's abuse of so many women until after Epstein's death. Apparently told the committee, in his opening statement, had I learned of any of his horrific behavior, I would have quit work immediately. We track the expenditures as meticulously as possible, including gifts by Epstein to women and men. The gifts represent a very small fraction of Epstein spending. I did not see them as red flags for abuse or trafficking. And he emphasized, he quote,

4:07did not see anything that suggested to me that Epstein was abusing or trafficking women or otherwise acting unlawfully. While Epstein was alive, I never observed any sexual abuser trafficking of women and never received a complaint either by one of Epstein's victims or anyone else of such abuse or trafficking. But he did admit the following, and I think this is key. However, it pains me to think and I deeply regret that I may have unknowingly assisted Epstein in any way. Now, what are the key moments of his testimony? And we don't have the full transcripts or the videos of his testimony, at least at the time of this recording, but it comes from what the oversight committee chairman James Colmer told the media told reporters, quote, he confirmed, meaning Khan confirmed there were five clients that paid money to Epstein. And that was Les Wexner, Glenn Dubin, Steve Sinovsky, the Rothschilds, and Leon Black. We've already deposed Wexner and we're going to be deposing Leon Black very soon. These were people that made significant transactions. So what Khan said is he was under the impression that Epstein made his money as a tax advisor and a financial planner. So these

5:11were the five people that transferred significant sums of money to Epstein. Now, again, to be clear, just because if they did financial work with him or had financial transactions with him, doesn't mean that they participated in any criminality or had any knowledge of any criminality, although I'll circle back to those names in just a minute. By the way, regarding President Donald Trump, who we've talked about a lot, we also know that his name appeared in the Epstein files, most notably in a collection of uncoroperated allegations of sexual abuse. Colmer said that Khan, quote, had never seen any type of transaction to Trump or anyone in his family. However, I will tell you, Representative Suhas Subramaniam said to reporters that Khan told the committee that the Epstein estate did reach a financial settlement with someone who had made accusations that were related to Donald Trump. Oh, and he also said that it came out former Israeli Prime Minister Echu Barak had financial dealings with Epstein. Now, you go back to Richard Khan, okay? Back to potential legal liability. I have to go to what Representative Robert Garcia said after Khan's deposition,

6:13quote, Epstein's massive sex trafficking ring would not have been possible without the consistent payments and services of his longtime accountant said that Khan made some important admissions. Quote, he helped facilitate a fake marriage between two women connected to Epstein, admitted to impersonating Epstein in communication with banks, and confirmed Epstein spoke about Donald Trump a lot. It's not credible that he had no knowledge of Epstein's activities and his testimony today only raises more questions. So is he suggesting that Khan wasn't telling the truth that Khan committed perjury that he engaged in fraud-related crimes, banking crimes? By the way, I should tell you that CBS has reported that Khan and Epstein's lawyer, Darren Indike, actually settled a lawsuit regarding fake marriages where you had foreign-born victims of Epstein would marry American-born victims, and this was all for purposes of skirting the immigration system. What about this statement from Representative James Walkenshaw? Today we've heard from Mr. Khan a lot of inability to recall, inability to recall emails, text messages he was involved in. If he was

7:18ignorant of Mr. Epstein's crimes, he was willfully ignorant, willfully as a key legal term there. So obviously his testimony is raising a lot of questions, right? You go back to some of the emails in the Epstein files that reference Khan. When you hear about what the analysis is of his testimony, I just want to read to you some emails. So for example, look at this one. This is an email from Khan to Epstein, November 2017. Bella sent me the latest batch of medical bills for girls, just wanted to confirm that you do not want to see these, and that Bella should pay all medical once girls confirm for accuracy. The response back from Jeffrey Epstein, bleaching is not acceptable, sorry, pay it, but it's out of hand. Now we did a whole episode on Epstein arranging or seemingly arranging for medical appointments and procedures and treatments for the females in his life and the secret network of doctors who were providing him services and access to him. But how about this? You have this communication where Khan is seemingly explaining the purpose of certain wire transfers,

8:21including payments sent to a friend for tuition for school, school, right? Anytime you talk about school with Jeffrey Epstein, you always have to think about how young were these females in his life, so CNN claims you have this email here that shows he's arranging a $3,500 tuition payment for a model. You look at this one about paying for an Airbnb Epstein writes to Khan, how did we send the Airbnb money? Receipt? Khan seemingly responds, I signed up to send from my PayPal account, so your name was not involved. They authorized charge, but not yet confirmed from landlord as they have 24 hours. Interesting, why is there a need to make sure Epstein's name is not there? It could be a number of reasons, but just got to call it out. Also, remember that mention of girls? There seems to be a lot of reference to girls and emails that are connected to Khan, so how about this one? There was an email that was sent to Khan in 2017. Hi Rich, I believe Jeffrey bought US open tickets for the girls, but I have not seen any request for payment. We don't know who these

9:22girls are. This back and forth regarding girls and their cable boxes being taken out. Khan is a part of that. You have this exchange regarding lottery tickets where Khan seemingly writes to Epstein in 2016. Okay, now up to 1.5 mm, maybe mega-millions. We'll buy tickets today for girls, Woody too, meaning maybe Woody Allen. Any others, please advise. Thanks. This email from Epstein's purported secret girlfriend or associate Kermina Shuliaq, we've talked about on the show before, we dedicated a full episode to her. Two Richard Khan, 2016, this seems to be regarding made services. Just to clarify, Bianca is doing only the girls' apartments, no laundry, no cleaning supply. The guest departments are still on tests on Leo. I just spoke with Bella, so she knows already. Thank you. Also, look, it's kind of hard to connect a lot of this or put into context, but I'll just give this to you. So for example, you have this 2011 email from Epstein to Khan. Rich, please wire a Nadia 10K. I don't know who Nadia is. I don't know the context of the purpose of that payment,

10:24but again, whenever you talk about Jeffrey Epstein and females and money, gotta mention it. By the way, with that idea of keeping Epstein's name out of things, just look at this correspondence from March 2019. So this is just months before Epstein would be arrested on federal sex trafficking charges. His lawyer, Darren Indike writes, please see attached the filed certificate of formation and draft operating agreement for truth robot LLC. Thanks. Epstein writes back, can't have my name. Indike writes back, will delete and have rich. So I'm assuming that's Mr. Khan sign as treasurer of Southern financial LLC. By the way, I have to mention this too. The BBC reported that Khan at one point, when you're wondering what his role was, had asked Jeffrey Epstein staff to pack up suitcases with the contents of Epstein's safe from his New York mansion and deliver it to his home. This is according to who appear to be federal agents and apparently the FBI, there was evidence that they had spoken to Khan's lawyer and that Khan had agreed to turn over

11:28the suitcases, but apparently he didn't want agents coming to his home and that he wouldn't reveal who told him to remove this stuff from the safe. So just interesting to think about. And it should also be noted that after Epstein died, Khan and Indike, they were the ones who were managing the sediments that were paid out from the Epstein victim's compensation fund to the victims. So you're talking a pout of over $121 million to more than 135 survivors. Now that doesn't mean they had knowledge of what Epstein or Golan Maxwell were seemingly up to because this is after the fact, but just want to note what their role was after Epstein's death and after the allegations surged against him. By the way, Indike's lawyer, Daniel Weiner, sent in a statement to CBS after it was announced that Khan and Indike were subpoenaed for testimony. By the way, I think Indike is going to appear for testimony next week. Quote, it is worth emphasizing that not a single woman has ever accused either Mr. Indike or Mr. Khan of committing sexual abuse or witnessing sexual abuse, nor claimed at any time that she reported to them any allegation of Mr. Epstein's abuse.

12:33Indike and Khan did not socialize with Mr. Epstein and they have always rejected as categorically false any suggestion that they knowingly facilitated or assisted Mr. Epstein in his sexual abuse or trafficking of women, or that they were aware of Mr. Epstein's actions while they provided legal and accounting services to Mr. Epstein. But right now I want to go back to those big names that Richard Khan seemingly called out to the committee. Victoria's secret CEO Less Wexner, former Apollo global management CEO Leon Black, former Microsoft Windows division president Steven Sinovsky, hedge fund investor Glenn Dubin, the Rothschild, the big banking family. These are names that we have already heard about a lot so far. So for example, Epstein apparently controlled Wexner's finances, controlled his assets for years as his financial advisor. He was even granted power of attorney at one point, which allowed him to seemingly make all sorts of decisions involving Wexner, his family, his properties, his money. Wexner has claimed that Epstein expertly condemned

13:34him out of millions of dollars, and that's allegedly how he acquired much of his wealth. Wexner released a three-page statement ahead of his deposition to that committee saying he was pleased to testify and saying, of his never-participant or co-conspirator in any of Epstein's illegal activities. To my enormous embarrassment or grit, I, like many others, was duped by a world-class con man. I cannot undo that part of my personal history even as I regret ever having met him. And again, his actual testimony in front of the committee. He wrote a lot of interesting moments, but maybe none more memorable than this? Answer the question. Okay. I'm sure we all appreciate the stories. We're just trying to answer the questions they actually want to answer. Okay. That's very helpful. Thank you. I hope it is. As an example, I wouldn't, I didn't have the, I did inventory furniture or valuables. It is like, how could you have a solarware in your house? I didn't count forks and spoons, and it's like, Jeff said, people could be walking out with forks

14:36and spoons. Gee, that's a good idea. We got to have an inventory. But then there was a, I hired a lady to be like the house manager who had run the US Embassy in Rome and said, yeah, I know how to do this. I said, and I said, well, why don't we keep inventory of stuff that she said, yeah, I could do that. So she did that as a, as kind of a puny example, but I wouldn't have had the idea. But then all the things were inventory that wasn't work for me or Jeffrey. It was just regularly done. Yeah, kind of tough to hear, but that's when his counsel, his lawyer seemingly said, I will effing kill you if you answer another question with more than five words, okay? Wexner laughed, I explained it at the time. You could say that looks quite nefarious, but any lawyer is not going to want their client to say more under oath than they have to. Leon Black. Now, we've talked about him before. The investor, former CEO of Apollo Global

15:39Management, Black reportedly left Apollo by the way in 2021 after a lot of questions came up about his relationship with Jeffrey Epstein saying it was for health reasons, though, but you do wonder if it's related to Epstein. Now, not only are there communications involving the two, like this one, Leon Black will come see J.E. tomorrow at 10 a.m., he may want breakfast, please be prepared, but there are also allegations that Black is a rapist. You have this email. Got a call from victim woman who said that she heard about lawsuit against Black. Victim said Black raped her around 20 years ago, 2001 or 2002, in Epstein's townhouse. Victim described it, fell pain on massage table with head on floor and legs on his shoulders, excruciating. Steven Sinofsky, you see these communications in the Epstein files between Epstein and his former Microsoft division president. According to Japan Times, Sinofsky had turned to Epstein on how to leave Microsoft at one point and even shared or allegedly shared non-public information with Epstein

16:39and also this separation agreement. There seemed to kind of be an element of trust there because Epstein wrote him in this 2013 email chain. Today's price is higher, mutual dates. You can't take money and then say I will disparage you in a year. August 18th is a vesting day. Sinofsky writing back in part, everyone is human. As long as it is one way since there is no way I'm going to sue for this stuff, I want the SEC filing to make them look petty. Not me. Glenn Dubin, hedge fund manager, billionaire. Now Glenn Dubin is a name that we've talked about before, okay? He was mentioned in these documents. There are communications between him and Epstein. And you may recall that at one point in time renowned Epstein accuser Virginia Jufre had claimed that Elaine Maxwell, the convicted sex trafficker, had ordered her to give Glenn Dubin a massage, which according to her, meant sex. Dubin denied the allegations, by the way. And I shall also tell you that Dubin's reported wife, Eva Anderson Dubin, this doctor, this founder of Dubin Breast Center

17:44at Mount Sinai. I mean, we just talked about her a lot in a previous episode of Sidebar because apparently not only was she a former flame of Epstein and allegedly provided him very special medical services, right? Access to doctors, medical appointments, and not only for him, but to others as well, at the institution. But there was also an allegation that she was soliciting Epstein for money. So a con seemingly confirms there is a money trail or transactions with these kinds of individuals. And that is significant. It doesn't necessarily mean that they were involved in criminality. It doesn't necessarily mean that they had knowledge of criminality. But there was a connection here. And I've always wondered is Richard Khan potentially going to be that connective tissue? And I will tell you also next week's going to be interesting. If Indike, this, you know, Epstein's former lawyer does in fact sit down for a deposition, what will he have to say? Although I do wonder if there are attorney client privilege issues that can limit his testimony in a certain way, we shall see. But again, another aspect to the ongoing
