Jeffrey Epstein is an American businessman who started his career as a math and physics professor at K-12 Dalton School in 1974.
The connections that he made at the school helped him in 1976 to become a trader in Bear Stearns, which was an investment banking company.
Since Epstein was very good at his job, he became a limited partner in the company only a few years after joining it.
However, he left the company in 1981 for unknown reasons and started his own company called Intercontinental Assets Group Inc. in August 1981.
In 1988 Epstein started another company called J. Epstein & Company. The company was managing the assets of some of the richest people in the world since it worked only with people whose net worth is higher than $1 billion.
Jeffrey later changed the name of the company in 1996 to the Financial Trust Company.
From 2000 until the end of 2007, Epstein worked as the president of Liquid Funding Ltd. which is a company that helps businesses and individuals to find financing.
In 2006 the police started investigating Jeffrey Epstein for sexual crimes and he pleaded guilty in 2008. Epstein spent thirteen months in prison, but that was not the end of his problems.
His victims filed lawsuits against him in 2014, 2015, 2016, 2017 and 2018 and he was arrested again on July 6,2019.
Although he is in jail, Jeffrey Epstein's net worth is estimated at $1.5 billion.
On July 15, 2019 Jeffrey's lawyer said that Epstein is willing to post a $100 million bail.
