Summary
This document is an excerpt from the book 'Filthy Rich' (Chapter 26, pages 108-109) detailing Jeffrey Epstein's financial dealings in the 1980s. It describes his tax avoidance pitches and a specific 1982 oil-drilling investment scam involving Michael Stroll, the former head of Williams Electronics. Stroll invested $450,000 but only received $10,000 back (which Epstein claimed in court was payment for a horse); the resulting lawsuit was settled out of court.
