Thanks, Gregz! That failure to cooperate may cause him to have additional problems within that royal house-hold.
But here's another individual who appears to be 'skating' smoothly without remorse!
ALEXANDER ACOSTA!
Read on ... but since this topic is a bit lengthy, I'll break it down into three parts.
Back a bit in time ..... The Miami Herald published a report giving stunning details about how President Donald Trump’s former labor secretary, Alexander Acosta, went to great lengths to help downplay billionaire sex offender Jeffrey Epstein's sex crimes while he (Acosta) was the US attorney for Southern Florida in 2007,
According to the report, local and federal investigators had gathered enough evidence back then to put Epstein away for life in 2007 when then-US Attorney Alexander Acosta met with one of Epstein's lawyers, Jay Lefkowitz.
Acosta and Lefkowitz were former colleagues from their time at top-ranked law firm Kirkland & Ellis. At the meeting, the two reportedly hammered out a deal that would see Epstein serve just 13 months, in a private cell block at a county jail, instead of federal prison.
Government documents obtained by the Herald show that in exchange for a lowered sentence, Epstein provided unspecified information on federal investigations.
It's unclear what kind of information Epstein provided to the feds, but his case came to light during the 2008 global financial collapse.
He went on to be a key witness in the criminal prosecution of two prominent executives with Bear Stearns who were accused of corporate securities fraud. Epstein was one of the largest investors in the hedge fund the two executives managed.
The two executives were later acquitted. It's unclear if Epstein's role testifying against the two executives was part of his plea deal.
While Epstein had to register as a sex offender and pay restitution to the dozens of victims that investigators identified, he only agreed to plead guilty to two prostitution charges.
The deal also kept the full extent of Epstein's crimes largely secret from the public.
And emails obtained by the Herald show that prosecutors worked with his defense team to push the case through Miami court, so the victims, who were mostly located in Palm Beach, wouldn't know about his sentencing and try and get the agreement thrown out.
Needless to say .... the lawyers for the victims and the investigators were left gobsmacked by the deal.
More to follow .... but here's a photo.
