Notable Quotes 2
The biggest question remains the $200 million that Epstein's Southern Trust took in as revenue and made in profits -- in the years after his Florida conviction.
We also have been told by an eyewitness that two weeks before Epstein's arrest, there were several large garbage bags with shredded documents seen outside the office door to Southern Trust. Do you know anything about this?
