JAMES PATTERSON
bought his own jet, a luxury yacht, and a Long Island mansion
to go with his expensive Manhattan apartment. He'd also briefly
owned a controlling interest in the New York Post.
To cover his tracks, Hoffenberg had been taking money from
investors and using it to pay previous investors. It was a classic
Ponzi scheme—one of the biggest in history—and Hoffenberg
ended up spending nineteen years in a federal prison.
Why was Epstein not implicated in the case? All that Hoffen-
berg will say when asked is: "Ask Robert Gold."
Another source suggests that Gold, the former federal prose-
cutor who had helped Epstein recover Ana Obregón's money,
kept the US attorney away from Epstein until there were only a
few weeks left before the statute of limitations ran out.
As for Epstein himself, he would always deny any wrong-
doing. Despite his proximity to Hoffenberg, he managed to avoid
the blast radius.
