JPMorgan flagged $1B in Epstein-linked transactions to Trump

11. Exactly. The sex was just the bait. The game was money laundering and extortion

Epstein, Maxwell, and Trump were all in Russia's orbit, if not entirely loyal Russian agents. We already knew that Trump handled a lot of money laundering in cahoots with Deutsche Bank, but that obviously (now) involved other banks like Morgan. We know for certain that Deutsche ran this Russian money laundering scheme very intentionally as a line-of-business. We don't yet know whether Morgan's involvement was peripheral or intentional. Obviously some people within Morgan were well aware of it, but we don't know if it was sanctioned/driven at the executive level.

Given these things, it is pretty clear what Trump's role was. We know he was helpful to Epstein in recruiting women and girls for the sex ring, and that some of those activities took place at Mar-a-Lago. But that, as salacious as it is, is really a minor part of the story. Trump boasts of knowing "all the best people". His role, in addition to lending his casinos and real estate properties to the money laundering operation, was to bring these "best people" into Epstein's sex trap to feed the extortion racket.

And in this case, the extortion was not necessarily for money. When we see the full list, we will see that it is heavily populated by powerful people from governments and private industry. The Kompromat was useful in many non-cash ways, causing businesses and governments to take certain decisions that Epstein and/or the Russians could monetize.
