'Mobster' Jeffrey Epstein Predicted Russian Leader Vladimir Putin’s Moves Before They Came to Light, Author Claims

Author Michael Wolff claimed dead child abuser Jeffrey Epstein acted like a crime leader in his uncanny ability to predict geopolitical events, including those conducted by Russian leader Vladimir Putin.

Wolff made these claims in his latest column titled "The Godfather" for his Substack publication, HOWL.

In the essay, Wolff compared Epstein’s eerie ability to anticipate major geopolitical events to that of a seasoned "mobster.”

He noted that Epsteinn possessed a deep, cynical awareness and frequently dropped extraordinary information into casual conversation.

“As with mobsters, there was a sense of knowingness, of a deep, well-informed cynicism, and, too, the suggestion that he had important people, politicians, law enforcement, bankers in his pocket and always talking to him,” Wolff wrote. “There was a constant sprinkling of extraordinary but otherwise casually revealed information.”

“By the late 1970s, mobsters had begun to reliably act the role of mobsters, becoming what journalists and Hollywood wanted to see,” Wolff wrote, adding, “Epstein understood that, in a world of ever-increasing randomness if not absurdity, there might certainly exist a role for a man who seemed to know everything, and that he could play it.”

“Months before it occurred, he was predicting the invasion of Crimea, and years before,” Wolff wrote. “Putin’s sweep into Ukraine — with a sideline commentary on Putin’s s-- life.”

Epstein reportedly knew OPEC crude oil prices before they were publicly released, a benefit Wolff attributed to Epstein's social and business ties with Saudi Crown Prince Mohammed bin Salman.

The disgraced financier allegedly knew that Loretta Lynch would be nominated as U.S. Attorney General by the Obama administration weeks before the announcement.

Epstein maintained high-level connections within the Department of Justice, allowing him to know when other powerful individuals were under federal scrutiny.

Wolff described the dead rapist as “a person with no credentials nor apparent wherewithal whatsoever” but had somehow “command[ed] the attention and apparent respect of many of the world’s most powerful, successful, and talented people.”

The Trump biographer pointed out the ultimate irony of Epstein’s mobster-like foresight. Despite tracking the movements of the world's most powerful people, Epstein completely failed to realize when the Department of Justice was finally moving to arrest him.

“Reasonably, how could you not have run in the opposite direction?” he wrote. “As reasonably, how could you not want to see what was going on here, or sense that here might be the reality of ambition and power in New York, that there was something here that other people only got to read about voyeuristically, that this might be, for better or worse, the true center of the run amok world?”
