The real Epstein 'client list' was the friends we made along the way.
This week, I've got some bad news for your dumbest in-laws.
After years of speculation and accusations from MAGA mainstays such as Kash Patel and Dan Bongino, Axios reports that the FBI has found no credible evidence that Jeffrey Epstein "blackmailed powerful figures, kept a 'client list,' or was murdered."
News of the FBI's findings, which were exposed via a leaked memo, sent prices in our "Epstein Files release" market tumbling as low as 12%.
Despite the fact that Patel and Bongino now run the FBI, many right-wing influencers are in meltdown mode over the news, with many suspecting a coverup that goes straight to the top...
The top.
Of course, if you make a living as a right-wing influencer, "the top" only goes as high as Attorney General Pam Bondi.
Yeah, I'm sure if they get her out of the way, all the pieces will fall into place! Who hired her, anyway?
But will she go? We've just launched a new market on the subject, and prices are still in flux.
Check back soon for updates.
As we've previously mentioned, Elon Musk has expressed his own feelings on the subject.

Despite deleting the post above, Elon is still beating the Epstein drum, claiming the leaked FBI memo is "the final straw."

Does this mean his threats to start a new political party are moving forward? Our traders currently think there's a 71% chance.
Yes, it's all very sad and stupid. But at least you can make money off it!

🗞️ Kalshi in the news
"[Elon Musk] reposted a Kalshi [market] that stated the 'odds of Musk creating a new political party in 2025 surge to 41%.'"
"Tyler Winklevoss, the cofounder of the New York-based crypto exchange Gemini and one-half of the famed rowing/Mark Zuckerberg lawsuit team, was none too pleased. 'New York City on the brink of becoming Gotham City,' he posted, sharing the Kalshi projection."
"[Kalshi's] $2K NBA Finals ad... showed how AI is already competing with agency work."
