Episode notes
Epstein Kept Banking Access
- Jeffrey Epstein lost his freedom but kept his bank accounts and access to capital throughout investigations.
- The host argues banks and politicians protected Epstein to avoid market disruption, showing systemic protection for the powerful.
How Fractional Banking Creates Fragility
- Fractional-reserve banking lets banks lend many times more than the deposits they hold.
- This creates systemic fragility because bank runs can collapse claims that don't exist simultaneously.
Banks Allegedly Ignored AML Warnings
- Big banks allegedly ignored repeated AML flags and unusual transactions tied to Epstein.
