Pu doesn’t need Epstein to ‘hide his money offshore’. There are more than enough knowledgeable people in Russia who’ll teach any aspiring businessman to create LLCs that own each other in a circle, while the actual decision-maker is nowhere to be seen. Pu likes his confidants to be close to him, he wouldn’t hire some schmuck from the other side of the world for this.
An actual wealth holder for Pu is cellist Sergei Roldugin, who’s friends with him since Roldugin’s military service in 1977. Roldugin was also holds positions in multiple state-funded culture-related initiatives that Putin personally oversaw. He’s also a businessman, or rather a business owner, somehow having shares in private companies worth dozens of millions of bucks each. He’s also been shown to own offshore companies that traded shares in state-owned companies, and got loans without collateral and with small interest. Lithuanian government confirmed Roldugin’s offshore operations — as Lithuanian banks were involved in the transactions — and considers them to be money laundering. Roldugin is named in the Pandora Papers and other journalist investigations, is indirectly a suspect in state investigations in Panama and Switzerland, and is sanctioned since 2022 by the US, EU, and some other countries.
They’re just all the same class of assholes. I was explained by one dude years ago that they all went to the same “business” schools and are all very much on the same line. They were educated and socialized together, so of course they have their little clubs of horror eveywhere.
No not Putin, or Epstein, but the whole cohort of biznesmeni/bandity behind the scenes who took over in the 90s, sponsored by the US and the rest of the “Washington consensus” scheme. Joining the lizards. Same class of creeps worldwide, is what I’m saying. Giving them and their secret services (CIA, Mossad, KGB/FSB) any kind of special status/perversion/allure per country lines, I think, is an unproductive distraction, and it ends up feeding xenophobia, Russophobia, and in Israel’s case, *gasp" antisemitism. Sorry it’s a bit of a thought in process but yeah.

Are you saying that Epstein studied law in Leningrad State University, or do you mean training in the KGB Higher School?
