How did JE make his money? The finance mystery

This is one of the biggest unanswered questions. **Official story:** - Money manager for wealthy clients - Founded J. Epstein & Co. - Claimed billionaire status **Problems with this:** - No public client list - No audited financial statements - Wexner only confirmed client - Trading records don't support claimed wealth **Theories (varying evidence levels):** 1. Wexner money (some documentation) 2. Blackmail income (speculative) 3. Intelligence funding (speculative) 4. Other wealthy individuals (some names in documents) The financial picture is genuinely unclear. I've been trying to trace the money for months.
