What Jeffrey Epstein’s $460million Fraud Partner Told Us About the Money and Ghislaine Maxwell

Steven Hoffenberg, the man who said he orchestrated a $400million fraud with Jeffrey Epstein, is reported as dead.

Survivor Maria Farmer was said to have raised the alarm earlier this week when he wasn’t answering his phone.
Ms Farmer was close to Mr Hoffenberg, who converted to Christianity during a 20-year fraud jail sentence. The Daily Beast reported : “Maria Farmer called Derby police to check in on Hoffenberg, 77, after she failed to reach him over the phone. The two had been friends for years and spoke nearly every day. “He was family to me,” Farmer told The Daily Beast on Wednesday. “I loved him.”
“Mr Hoffenberg frequently commented to the press about Epstein and had accused the financier of being a “co-conspirator” in his Ponzi scheme. In one 2019 affidavit cited by The Daily Beast, Hoffenberg stated, “Epstein has remained free and has used and benefited from the ill-gotten gains he amassed as a result of his criminal and fraudulent activities.”
Of Epstein: “He was my best friend for years. My closest friend for years,” Hoffenberg told CBS News of Epstein in 2019. “We ran a team of people on Wall Street, investment people that raised these billion dollars illegally. He was my guy, my wingman.”
The businessman said he was determined to make up for some of the damage his business formet partner had caused.
Epstein worked alongside Hoffenberg in New York during the late 1980s and the early 1990s. He told us he was sex-trafficker’s financial mentor.
