This document is a court filing containing an excerpt from a 2003 Vanity Fair article detailing Jeffrey Epstein's financial entanglements with Steven Hoffenberg in the late 1980s and early 1990s. It describes schemes involving Emery Freight, Pan Am, Riddell Sports, and Pennwalt, noting that while Hoffenberg was sued and prosecuted, Epstein remained elusive and avoided deposition despite receiving significant payments. The text highlights regulators' difficulties in tracking Epstein and allegations that he used funds from Hoffenberg for investments while claiming they came from a mysterious Swiss banker.
