Mike Benz said the origins of Jeffrey Epstein’s power, wealth, and long-running protection from prosecution can be traced to his early career at Bear Stearns and the bank’s alleged role in handling covert intelligence financing connected to the Bank of Credit and Commerce International (BCCI).
In a detailed statement, Benz argued that Epstein’s work at Bear Stearns in the late 1970s and early 1980s placed him at the center of clandestine financial operations involving U.S. and foreign intelligence agencies, helping explain Epstein’s rapid ascent and his later connections across global intelligence networks.
“It opens correspondent account for the fledgling BCCI Luxembourg, 25 million daily turnover,” Benz said.
“That’s the very year Jeffrey Epstein joined Bear Stearns, right as BCCI is being scaled up by Kamal Adnan, the very counterparty in the Bear Stearns trades specifically to launder Safari Club Petro dollars.”
Benz said Epstein’s work coincided with key figures in intelligence-linked financial operations, including Kamal Adnan, whom he identified as a Saudi intelligence figure involved in the creation of the Safari Club, a joint intelligence arrangement involving the CIA and Saudi intelligence.
“And Jeffrey Epstein was working on the oil deals right in 1980 when he got the fake Saudi passport,” Benz said.
“And Kamal Adam is the Saudi spy master who created the joint CIA Saudi Safari Club.”

Benz pointed to Ace Greenberg, the longtime Bear Stearns executive, as central to Epstein’s rise within the firm and his entry into these transactions.
“Ace Greenberg, hey, that name sounds familiar,” Benz said.
“Ace Greenberg set up the BCCI Luxembourg account to scale up BCCI and the CI Saudi intelligence Safari Club.”
Benz said Greenberg’s relationship with Epstein went beyond routine employment and placed Epstein inside some of Bear Stearns’ most sensitive operations.
“Isn’t this the guy who hired Jeffrey Epstein and set him up with his daughter and made Jeffrey Epstein a made man,” Benz said.
“Jeffrey Epstein is personally green lighting Bear Stearns this activity with the CIA to scale up the CIS proprietary bank.”
According to Benz, Epstein’s involvement with BCCI-linked transactions explains nearly every aspect of his subsequent career.
“Guys, we just broke the entire Jeffrey Epstein story,” Benz said.
“If Ace Greenberg brought Jeffrey Epstein into the BCCI deal, deals at Bear that explains literally everything.”
Benz said Epstein’s meteoric rise inside Bear Stearns, his ability to attract powerful clients, and his early access to intelligence officials all stemmed from this role.
“It explains Jeffrey Epstein’s meteoric rise. It explains how he moved up in the company so quickly,” Benz said.
“It explains how he got all these huge clients so quickly.”
He said Epstein was already meeting with senior intelligence and political figures by the early 1980s.
“It explains how he in 1981 in 1982 he’s already meeting with major CIA mi six, Saudi intelligence officials,” Benz said.
“He’s meeting with Doug Lee, Stan Pottinger, Adnan Khashoggi, Middle Eastern shakes.”
Benz argued that Epstein’s alleged role involved disguising illegal arms sales and covert financing as legitimate financial transactions tied to commodities and oil.
“Here are the lucrative deals you immediately have Jeffrey Epstein handling CIA financing disguising illegal weapon sales as complex financial transactions for commodities or oil,” Benz said.
Benz said this role also explains Epstein’s later legal protection.
“That explains how he was protected every time he got in trouble with fraud,” Benz said.
“The Justice Department takes action against Jeffrey Epstein for securities laws violations. Jeffrey Epstein openly says in court that Bear Stearns was actually secretly moving money for the CIA.”
According to Benz, prosecutors backed off to avoid exposing sensitive operations.
“Well, that can’t come out in open court,” Benz said.
“Okay, let’s not move forward with prosecution. Don’t want to reveal national security secrets.”
Benz connected Epstein’s alleged intelligence role to his ties with British, French, Israeli, Saudi, and U.S. intelligence agencies, citing BCCI’s international reach.
“That explains how Jeffrey Epstein has these French intelligence connection points,” Benz said.
“That explains how he’s got these British intelligence connection points… and that definitely explains how he has all these CIA connection points.”
