6 More Suspicious Deaths Connected to Epstein

The transcription discusses a series of deaths connected to Jeffrey Epstein that the speaker finds highly suspicious. It begins with the death of Epstein's mentor, Stephen Hoffenberg, who was found deceased days after a welfare check. Police found no signs of trauma. The video then lists several other figures linked to Epstein who have died, including former Deutsche Bank executive Thomas Bowers (reported suicide), attorney Kenneth Starr (complications from surgery), and defense attorney Roy Black (natural causes at 80). It also mentions the deaths of journalist John Connolly and scientist Marvin Minsky. While official accounts often attribute these deaths to age, illness, or suicide, the narrator strongly suggests a pattern of coordinated elimination to silence individuals with knowledge of Epstein's activities. The tone is conspiratorial, arguing these are not mere coincidences but part of a broader effort to "clean up loose ends," despite a lack of official evidence supporting foul play in these cases.

Epstein's Mentor Stephen Hoffenberg Dies Under Suspicious Circumstances Folks, there have been a number of very suspicious, unexplained and just highly, highly suspect coincidental deaths connected to Jeffrey Epstein. Now I broke all over as many as I could find at least at one period of time down in this video. The many murders of Jeffrey Epstein I just dropped on my main channel trap Lord Ross. So go and check that out if you haven't had a chance. This is going to basically break down all of these crazy dark theories of all these people who have died around Epstein in an unexpected way. It is extremely suspicious, but literally not more than 22 hours ago from having posted this video, okay, I've seen people commenting, I've seen people messaging me. They're letting me know and they're saying that Ross, you missed a few bodies. There are several more murders that you didn't cover that basically should have been in this video that you missed, all right? And there's literally dozens of murders that I touched on in this video, but there are apparently more. So in this video, very quickly, I'm going to fill in the blanks. I'm going to fill in the gaps. I'm going to let you know about a handful of other very suspicious Epstein deaths that passed me by. And I'm going to correct the record not more than 24 hours later and basically let you guys know just how many more suspicious Epstein deaths are actually connected to this situation. OK, so let's start with perhaps the most suspicious of all, right? Basically, Epstein's former mentor, Stephen Hoffenberg would also die under very suspicious circumstances. And you're going to see what happened in this. Speaker 2 Police say they originally received a call about a welfare check last Saturday, but found that Hoffenberg no longer lived at that address. It wasn't until Tuesday of this week that they got an updated address and that's when they found Hoffenberg's body. 77 year old Stephen Hoffenberg, A convicted Ponzi schemer and mentor to Jeffrey Epstein, found dead in his Derby home this week. Police say a woman from out of state who identified herself as a sexual abuse victim of Epstein's and a friend of Hoffenberg's called asking them to do a welfare check. Speaker 3 And she hadn't heard from them in a couple days and she thought it was irregular because she heard from every day. Speaker 2 When officers arrived at his home on Mount Pleasant Street, they found his body, which police say was heavily decomposed. They believed he had been deceased for approximately 7 to 9 days. According to the medical examiner's office and police, there were no signs of trauma and no signs of foul play. Speaker 3 Nothing suspicious, nothing at all. We'll do a timeline sort of follow up just to kind of get, you know, who's, who's the last person to see him alive and so forth. But you know, it's pretty much routine from there. Speaker 2 Hoffenberg was sentenced to 20 years in prison in 1997 after admitting to scamming thousands of investors out of $460 million. He was released in 2013. Hoffenberg claimed Epstein was behind the Ponzi scheme, but he was never charged. Epstein worked for Hoffenberg's company at the time officials said the scheme began. Neighbors said they had no idea that was who was living in the multi family home and that Hoffenberg often kept to himself. Speaker 4 I just, as a rule, I say hi to people. And he would nod his head, but you could tell he did not want to chitchat. Speaker 2 And police say they had never been called there or had any issues with him. Speaker 3 We had no records of him at all internally as and as any involvement with the Police Department. Speaker 2 The medical examiner's office still has to do a toxicology report and has not yet released his cause of death in Derby. Gabby Molina. FOX 61 News. Speaker 1 So they're saying that this guy, he was running a Ponzi scheme for Jeffrey Epstein. Nothing to see here. A lot of BS. He was killed. Nothing suspicious. Yeah, right. They think we're stupid. This just getting crazier. He was Epstein's cleaning up the loose ends. This was in 2022. Ironically, that's the very same day that Lil Dirk's murder fire actually took place. I believe it was a few days before that. Anyway, this is insanity, all right? This. What the hell are we doing here? There's more and more and more, OK? There's more and more and more. More Finance Figures Connected to Epstein Die Unexpectedly Now, ironically, it seems to be a lot of these finance guys that are ending up deceased following their connection to Jeffrey Epstein. Now, another very suspicious incident would fall upon the shoulders of a former Deutsche Bank executive, Thomas Bowers. OK, former Deutsche Bank exec connected to Trump loans dies by self deletion in Malibu. It's too many self deletions of people that you would never expect to fit the profile of a self deletion. Thomas Bowers worked above. Trump's personal banker was 55. All right, a former Deutsche Bank executive who reportedly signed off on some of the the institutions unorthodox loans to Donald Trump offed himself in his Malibu home on November the 19th. Thomas Bowers, the overtime head, sorry the one time head of Deutsche Bank's American Wealth Management division, where he oversaw Trump's private banker, committed a self deletion and he was hung, according to the LA County Medical Examiner's office. He was 55. Trump's relationship with Deutsche Bank, which lent him around 2 billion after most other institutions had forsaken him for his history of defaults and bankruptcies, has come under investigation by two congressional committees and the New York attorney general, who are hoping the bank can shed light on some of Trump's elusive finances. At one point, Bowers had a close connection to those finances. Rosemarie T of Rablich, A managing director at Deutsche Bank who became Trump's private banker in 2010 after being introduced to her client Jared Kushner, reportedly directly to Bowers. Verablik reportedly helped Trump secure loans from her bank, which Bowers approved, including more than 100 million to buy his Doral resort in Miami, even after Trump and Deutsche had to sell messy litigation over a Chicago loan that went bad. Rosemarie is widely recognized as one of the top private bankers to the US ultra high net worth community, Bowers said in a press release when Deutsche Bank hired her in 2006. Bowers hasn't been employed by Deutsche since at least 2015, when he joined Starwood Capital Group as COO and was then appointed to the board of directors of Opus Bank in 20, 2016. Bowers isn't the first Trump connected Deutsche exec to commit themselves to the nether regions. In 2014, Deutsche's derivatives analyst William S Brookschmidt, who reportedly had links to Trump and Russia, would off himself with a dog leash at his home in London. And that's all the information that they've got on us right now. That's very interesting. OK? Also interesting on top of that, OK, New York Times Business investigations editor David Enrich, who actually wrote a book exposing Trump's connections to Deutsche Bank, would actually state that Bowers was not linked to Epstein. So there was reports that he was linked. Then there was saying that he wasn't linked. It said there are a lot of rumors about Tom Bowers, the former Deutsche Bank executive died last month, including that he was Jeffrey Epstein's banker. This isn't true. Bowers left Deutsche Bank before Epstein became a client. Bowers was shocked when I told him in July that Deutsche Bank had banked Epstein. OK, didn't, didn't mention anything about the connections to Trump, but hey, we're going to just, we're going to just, we're going to just skate on past that. OK, Now there would be more. OK, in 2016, Marvin Minsky, who was also accused by Virginia Guthrie, one of the most high profile, if not the most high profile victim of Epstein, Prince Andrew, etcetera. He would die in 2016, years before his name would even publicly be linked to Jeffrey Epstein. So this would basically go around. Pioneering computer scientist Marvin Minsky dies at 88. Marvin Minsky, the pioneering mathematician and computer scientist whose contributions to artificial intelligence rank him among the leaders in the field, has died, MIT confirmed Tuesday. He was 88. The cause of death Sunday was a cerebral hemorrhage, according to MIT. The founder of MI TS AI laboratory and author of the influential books the Society of Mind and the Emotion Machine, Minsky is widely credited as one of the fathers of artificial intelligence, whose influence extended to the very fields of optics, computer languages, robotics and psychology. Marvin Minsky helped create the vision of artificial intelligence as we know it today, Daniela Russ, director of computer science and AI labs at MIT, said in a statement. The challenges he defined are still driving our quest for intelligent machines and inspiring researchers to push the boundaries in computer science. Journalist John Connolly and Lawyer Kenneth Starr Pass Away Another interesting person who would later be connected to Epstein would check out OK. One of the people that probably was a real thorn in Epstein's side that ended up passing away would also take place in 2022, investigative journalist John Connolly, who apparently extensively investigated Epstein while he was live. He would also pass away. OK, again, a lot of these guys are old. You know, maybe there's, there's good reason, you know, maybe they're checking out because they're old. But it's just, it's just anyone connects to Epstein. These files trump any of these things they just check out. It's very, very spooky, says John Connolly, journalist who investigated Jeffrey Epstein dead at 78. He was a journalist and former NYPD detective. He infused numerous celebrities in his storied career. Hard hitting investigative journalist and former NYPD detective John Connolly passed away Saturday at 78. The cop turned scribe was known among media insiders for his unending rolodex and unique ability to mix among Hollywood execs and stars, Wall Street rainmakers, polls, police and wise guys alike. Connolly was a co-author with James Patterson of the 2017 book Filthy Rich, The Shocking True Story of Jeffrey Epstein, The Billionaire's Scandal, which was turned into a Netflix series, who's also a contributor during his career to magazines including Spy, Vanity Fair, Premier, Us Weekly, Radar and New York. And he penned prominent pieces on Steven Seagal, Heidi Fleiss, Donald Trump, Michael Jackson, Arnold Schwarzenegger, among others. And he would also appear in the documentary Who Killed Jeffrey Epstein? For Investigation Discovery? Connolly told The Post in 2020 of his findings on Epstein over the years, like all good grifters, he had ways of moving people in directions where they shouldn't go. Once they did, they were screwed. And I said as an author, Connelly, I've been working on a new book on infamous LA Private Eye Anthony Pellicano to be called The Sin Eater. Pellicano was released in 2019 from federal prison after 16 years behind bars for wiretapping and racketeering. Before Pellicano was incarcerated, he'd worked for some of Hollywood's biggest names, including the late Paramount studio boss Brad Gray, former CIA power agent Michael Ovett and the King of Pop himself, Michael Jackson. A power record that when Pellicano once confronted Connelly, the toughest Nails author with a rye wit, told him, meet me at famed bookstore Book Soup in LA, Bring your Spalding, I'll bring my Louisville Slugger. Connolly's long time partner, music industry veteran Donna Dorothy Carvello, confirmed to the Post Connolly had passed after a brief illness and there would be a memorial service in spring. Everybody that knows a lot about Epstein just checks out. That's just what's going on, OK? That's just what's going on. Yes, he's 78, he's an older guy, OK? But it's just all the people with the knowledge inside their head that we need, they just check out, they just disappear. Another one September 2022. Kenneth Starr, one of the attorneys who helped Epstein win his West Palm Beach case in 2008 and secured him a sweetheart deal. Ken Starr, who turned a blind eye to R word and defended AS trafficker dead at 76. The right wing lawyer known for probing Bill Clinton's affair, mishandling essay cases at Baylor and helping Jeffrey Epstein secure a sweetheart deal. Kenneth Style, the lawyer known for investigating Bill Clintons affair with Monica Lewinsky, mishandling essay cases as the president of Bailey University and helping Jeffrey Epstein secure a sweetheart deal, died Tuesday, September the 13th. He was 76. He's checked out another one. Another one, Starr's family, confirmed his death, saying he died from complications from surgery at Saint Luke's Medical Center in Houston, TX. Starr was a stalwart conservative foot soldier throughout his career. He started as a lawyer and was nominated by Ronald Reagan to serve on the US Court of Appeals in 1986, a post he maintained for about 6 years before resigning. George HW Bush later appointed him as Solicitor General, and he was even briefly in the running to fill a Supreme Court vacancy later taken by David Souter. Though always lurking around the right wing, Starr really started to rise to prominence in the mid 90s when he was tapped to investigate Bill and Hillary Clinton's alleged involvement in an Arkansas real estate project. Neither Clinton was prosecuted, but Starr's probe probe expanded to include an investigation into Paula Jones claims of essay against Bill Clinton, as well as Clinton's affair with Lewinsky. The Starr report, released in September 1998, claimed that Clinton lied about his affair with Lewinsky and cited obstruction of justice, perjury, abuse of power, and more reasons for impeaching Clinton. The report led to Clinton's impeachment in the House of Representatives, but he was acquitted of all counts in the Senate. After making a name for himself investigating Clinton's sexual improprietary, Starr returned to his career as a lawyer and found himself involved in a handful of prominent cases. He successfully represented the Juneau, AK school board and principal that suspended the student for unfurling a bomb hit Jesus sign as the Olympic torch pass through the city. That's insane. That is insane. He failed to secure constitutional immunity for the mercenary firm Blackwater after its contractors slaughtered 4 unarmed civilians in Fallujah. He also failed to uphold Prop Eight in California, the ballot measure banning same sex marriage that was later overturned in the courts. Despite being busy defending opponents of same sex marriage and private military contractors, Starr found plenty of ways to return to the world of sexual improprietry. With his plethora of plethora of connections to George W Bush's administration's. Starr joined Jeffrey Epstein's legal team and played a crucial part in pressuring the Justice Department to drop its S trafficking case against the billionaire. For his efforts, Starr helped his clients secure the infamous sweetheart deal that landed him in prison for just 18 months and effectively ensured him immunity from future prosecution. Epstein wasn't the only alleged child diddler that Starr helped, either. In 2013, he wrote a letter of support for Christopher Cloman just before he was sentenced to 43 years in prison for doing bad things to five girls while teaching at the elite Potomac school in the 60s and 70s. This guy is representing the evils, right? Three years after that, Starr resigned as chancellor of Bailey University and professor at his law school not long after being removed from his post as president. The reason? The investigation found Starr and other administrators mishandled numerous accusations of essay, including multiple R allegations against the school's football players. For his final act, the man who made a name for himself trying to take down one president tried to help another stave off the same fate. First, as ATV talking head, he argued against impeaching Donald Trump over the Mueller report, claiming that it would be bad for the country. Starr later joined Trump's legal team when he was impeached the first time for abuse of power and obstruction of justice after he allegedly tried to pressure the Ukrainian government to investigate Joe Biden. OK, more lawyers, more people connected to Epstein and that other guy, all right. Roy Black's Death, Epstein's Plea Deal, and Lingering Doubts Would also get in trouble. So all the way to 2025, now prominent criminal defense attorney Roy Black, known for representing Jeffrey Epstein, he would also pass away at AC. To be fair, these guys are older guys. OK, maybe this is natural, but what's everybody doing? Just dying? Come on. Speaker 5 Well, the South Florida legal community is mourning the loss of a legendary defense attorney. Speaker 6 Roy Black was a nationally recognized criminal and civil defense attorney. He handled some of the most high profile cases of the country, often get his clients cleared a very serious charges. Speaker 5 Black died at the age of 80 at his home in Coral Gables. CB CS Mami Rodriguez takes a look back at his very stellar legal career. Speaker 7 Very few lawyers know how to work a courtroom the way Roy Black did, whether it was in front of a judge or a jury. Black was a masterful advocate for his clients, both in criminal and civil cases. Ed Show had is a Miami defense lawyer who handled many cases with Roy Black. Speaker 8 Well, Roy had some unique qualities as a trial lawyer that are hard to duplicate. Speaker 7 Shohat said Black was a quick study, remembering the smallest details about complex cases. He said Black could address a jury like few attorneys can, coming off intelligent, even professorial, while at the same time staying down to earth and approachable, even likable. Speaker 8 He was at once down to earth and at the same time he came across as someone who was trying to teach the jury the case, not simply try the case representing for the client to get information about the jurors. Speaker 7 In 1991, Black represented William Kennedy Smith, a Kennedy cousin found not guilty of rape charges. It was during that trial that Black met his future wife Leia, who was a member of the jury. Other high profile cases include the William Lozano police shooting that led to riots in Overtown, tax evasion trial of race car driver Elio Castroneves, accused sex trafficker Jeffrey Epstein's case, and the DUI case against singer Justin Bieber. While Black didn't win all his cases, he never lost his cool. Speaker 8 But he never raised his voice in a courtroom. He was very even keeled and I admired that about him as well. Speaker 7 Roy Black is survived by his wife, Leah, his son RJ, and his daughter Nora. Funeral arrangements are still pending. And guys, I saw him operate in court. Just a one-of-a-kind attorney. Speaker 5 Smooth out. Speaker 1 So people saying how convenient, timely of course, 1 less to testify. Very, very convenient. I certainly hope this wasn't Jelaine's only insurance policy or she's in serious danger. People saying he was murdered, he was Epstein. Consider, Jelaine warned, OK, it is crazy. With Roy Black gone, coincidence or otherwise, there's less pushback to complicate Maxwells testimony. She's in a position where cooperating with the DOJ narrative could mean a lighter sentence or even protection. This is how power operates and is currently a win for Trump and the DOJ. I have no dog in this fight. I'm simply an observer. Let's see how it all unfolds. Let's see, indeed, some people saying somebody might have made a call, but the Miami, Miami Herald, OK, the same outlet that actually exposed Epstein's 2008 plea deal and broke the Epstein case wide open in 2018 with its Perversion of Justice series, they would report that they don't believe that the death is linked to Jeffrey Epstein. So what we're going to do is we're going to do a little switcheroo and I'm going to show you here exactly what was said. So basically, this is their article. They said Roy Black's death is not linked to the Epstein scandal, his family says. And so it says here. When major news media reported on Tuesday about the death of renowned Miami criminal defense attorney Roy Black, many outlets highlighted that he was a member of financier Jeffrey Epstein's prominent legal team in his essay case. Well, it was only a matter of minutes, if not seconds, that the conspiracy theorist begun spewing on social media about a suspicious link between Black's death and the resurging Epstein scandal that is engulfing President Donald Trump in the White House and the Department of Justice. Viral posts would claim that Black's death was no coincidence, calling it another piece removed from the board. The reality is Black had been fighting an undisclosed terminal illness before he died at his Coral Gables home on Monday at 80, according to his new partner Howard Srebnick and the Black family. Roy was courageously battling a life threatening illness for many months, requiring aggressive treatments which ultimately led to dehydration and renal failure, they said in a statement provided on Wednesday to the Miami Herald. The coincidental timing of Black's death would thrust the legal legend into the Epstein cauldron stirred up by right wingers and MAGA constituents who have widely condemned the Justice Department along with Trump, for not disclosing the full record of the federal government's S trafficking case against the New York and Palm Beach billionaire. As have been repeatedly promised by the president when he was campaigning for his second term back in 2007, Black was a member of Epstein's All Star criminal defense team that included top lawyers from South Florida, Washington and New York, including Kenneth Starr, Alan Dershowitz and Gerald Leftcourt. And Black was going to be the lead, according to Martin G Weinberg, a Boston defence lawyer who was also on the team. Roy was selected by Epstein as his potential trial attorney, Weinberg said, adding that he would have been the cornerstone of the defence team if the criminal case went to trial. But he noted that while Black was involved in Epstein's defence strategy, he never played the lead role as his trial attorney because the case was resolved through a plea agreement in South Florida. In 2008, Epstein pleaded guilty on state charges to soliciting teenage at his Palm Beach mansion and served about one year in jail after US Attorney Alex Acosta chose not to present a 53 page indictment to the grand jury alleging the more serious federal charges of's trafficking dozens of youngins. If convicted, those charges would have carried a potential punishment ranging from a mandatory 10 years in prison up to a life sentence. Epstein victims called it a sweetheart plea deal that allowed him to go to work or do whatever he wanted for six days out of every week. The deal also shut down an FBI probe into whether there were more victims and other powerful people who took part in Epstein's crimes. Records show that Black was not among the lawyers who attended Epstein's plea and sentencing hearing in June 2008 in West Palm Beach Circuit Court. Also, his signature was not among the lawyers who signed Epstein's non prosecution agreement with the US Attorney's Office in Miami in September 2007. Acosta's non prosecution agreement was initially kept secret from Epstein's victims. The agreement also immunized several of his Co conspirators from federal prosecution. The Herald's investigation of the secretive plea deal, part of its Preservation of Justice series. The by the Herald investigative reporter Judy K Brown led to a cost of resigning as US secretary of Labor in 2009 during the first Trump administration. In July 2019, Epstein was indicted on the S trafficking charges by federal prosecutors in New York City, but he would check out at 66 in his jail cell following the month before he could face trial, authorities said. Epstein's former girlfriend, Julene Maxwell, was later indicted by New York prosecutors on federal charges of recruiting young UNS for the billionaire at his homes in Manhattan, Palm Beach, New Mexico and the Virgin Islands. Maxwell was found guilty in New York of federal federal court of conspiracy and S trafficking charges and sentenced to 20 years. OK, so basically now we're this is sort of rehashing stuff about Pam Bondi changing her store and Epstein, the list sitting on a desk, yada, yada, yada. But look, it's another very suspicious death. I personally do think that, you know, you could definitely make an argument that these guys are older, you know, they're checking out naturally. Just so happens that Epstein had a lot of old guys in his orbit that knew what was going on. But I don't know, it's a little bit too convenient. It's always the guys, always the guys that know the most that just mysteriously check out. I'm very suspicious, right? Let me know what you thought of this video. Let me know what you thought of these theories. Do you feel like these are just all coincidences? You know, there's not really been allegations of foul play in these incidents, but also it's just a little bit too perfect. I personally, I'm still very suspicious. Now, if you want to know more about some of the suspicious deaths that have gone on around Jeffrey Epstein, go and watch the video that I dropped and many murders of Jeffrey Epstein on my main channel, Trap Law Ross. You can check that out now. And today is my challenge, my personal challenge. I'm trying my best to drop 10 videos today. OK, this is technically the second because I did 1 yesterday that got it couldn't post and I have just posted that now censored. This video hopefully doesn't have the same issue. I don't think I said anything too crazy, but I'm whiling out. I'm trying to do 10 videos today. We locked the Frick in, right? I just want to just churn out content all day. This is what I was put here to do. I want to give you guys so many stories. So many stories on my plate today. I've got stuff about Israel, Iran, Rihanna, the Clintons. I've got an insane line up of stories for you guys today. So stay locked in. I hope you enjoy all the content I've got. I'm going to grind and run it up even though I'm very tired, all right, I'm very tired. I'm on the Red Bull Pink edition today we locked him so let me know you thought this I'll catch you guys next video. Thank you so much for your support and until next time guys, I'm out. Peace.
