Notable Quotes 3
But it doesn't look like there's any record of the property changing ownership between 1989 and 2012, and the sale in 1989 is to "Nine East 71st Street Corporation."
Then 13 years later, that corporation, with Epstein as the president, transfers title to another Epstein entity. So did he own it that entire time, rather than Wexner, as had been advertised??
Notice that the Grantor and Grantee lines are both signed by Jeffrey Epstein.
Red Flags 2
- Discrepancy between public reports stating Wexner owned the property and the deed records showing Epstein's corporation as the owner.
- Epstein signing as both Grantor and Grantee in the transfer of the deed to Maple Inc.
