Fed Chair Ben Bernanke told congressional leaders behind closed doors: “If we don’t do this, we may not have an economy on Monday.” That’s the story we’ve been told ever since—the crash, quantitative easing, TARP, and Maiden Lane—but this wasn’t accidental or unforetold.

Ryan Grim  and  Murtaza Hussain Dec 19 This week, the New York Times awoke from its slumber to publish an extensive investigation on Jeffrey Epstein that purported to put to rest the question of how the man made his money early in his career. In it, the Times dismisses the possibility that Epstein could have worked for or adjacent to intelligence agencies. “Abundant conspiracy theories hold that Epstein worked for spy services or ran a lucrative blackmail operation, but we found a more prosaic explanation for how he built a fortune,” the paper wrote.
