Overview
- On July 23, Sen. Ron Wyden formally delivered a letter to Attorney General Pam Bondi outlining seven lines of inquiry into Jeffrey Epstein’s funding network
- Wyden’s investigators identified four major banks that flagged $1.5 billion in potentially suspicious transfers tied to Epstein’s trafficking operations
- His office documented more than 4,725 wire transfers involving Epstein’s accounts that warrant further scrutiny
- The roadmap calls for probes into payments from ultra-wealthy financiers such as Leon Black and hundreds of millions routed through sanctioned Russian banks linked to human movement
- The Treasury Department has refused to release the underlying Suspicious Activity Reports and the Justice Department has not yet responded to Wyden’s demand
