Marvellous framing & what a fabulous social comment & installation! The power of art. 🤗
Have also read - elsewhere - that it wasn’t a ‘real estate deal’ Thump & Epstein fell out over but a Ruzzian money laundering ‘deal’. Two crooked creeps together. 🤮

That was the story told back in 2004.
Epstein was bidding on a Palm Beach bankruptcy sale property. Maison de L'Amitié.
He asked his buddy, Donald, to view it and give some advice on remodeling. Donald back-stabbed JE and overbid him, winning the sale.
Trump had just filed for his fourth of six bankruptcies, and should not have qualified for this mortgage.

Donald flipped the house to Russian oligarch, Dmitry Rybolovlev. This is a way for Russians to launder money into dollars. Rybolovlev tore down the house.

Recently, Micheal Wolff reported that Epstein told him Trump was money laundering in this way. After being arrested in NJ/NY Epstein feared for his life.

Here's one of the places that printed Wolff's assertion. I think I saw this as an interview by the Daily Beast's Joanna Coles.
I'll post it if I come across it again.

Another interview, this time with Vicky Ward.
Michael Wolff is not very at ease in this interview. You do get a feeling for why he developed such a long relationship with Epstein.
