Jeffrey Epstein: International Moneyman of Mystery ShareThis

Epstein was in many respects the perfect candidate for Greenberg's consideration. Greenberg, a senior partner at Bear Stearns at the time and a legendary trader in his own right, has long made it clear that it's the hungry, brilliant guys lacking the fancy degrees that he favors at Bear. They even have an acronym: PSDs -- poor, smart, and a deep desire to be rich. It was a description that fit Epstein to a T. He was a Brooklyn guy with a motor for a brain, and while he did love teaching, this close-up view of the rarefied Upper East Side life of his students' gave him a taste for the big time.

The Most Influential Pizza Joint Owner of All Time
Also in Hillary’s immediate circle is a pizza joint owner named James Alefantis. Alefantis has been named one of the 50 most powerful people in Washington, DC. Let that sink in for a second. This is not some aging former senator who opened a pizza joint as a retirement gig, or a mega-lobbyist who plays restauranteur on the side to fulfill some childhood fantasy. This guy is just the owner of a pizza joint, that’s it.

All, remember, discovered after web sleuths discovered bizarre references to “pizza” in the Podesta emails.
Alefantis’ restaurant, Comet Ping Pong, is a divey pizza joint with ping pong tables in the back. It is host to all kinds of democratic party events and fundraisers. Alefantis is the romantic partner of David Brock, influential head of Correct the Record, an organization that tackles alleged right wing media bias, and a close Clinton confidant. Discovery of the first direct connection between Clinton and Comet Ping Pong emerged when researchers began searching the email leaks for other strange references to “pizza,” and discovered many mentions of Comet Ping Pong hosting everything from Clinton for President fundraisers and Obama campaign phone banks to birthday parties for Tony Podesta. Oddly, records also show George Soros-funded PACs donating thousands of dollars to the restaurant, and Alefantis himself visiting the White House on several occasions:
