Investigations into the late Jeffrey Epstein's financial network have identified South Dakota as a primary domestic hub for his secretive accounts. A 2021 probe found that while Epstein utilized offshore havens, he also established 81 trusts in South Dakota, which was the highest number for any single U.S. state in his network.Key Findings on South Dakota Ties Trust Concentration: Epstein used South Dakota's favorable and "liberal" trust laws—which offer near-absolute secrecy and asset protection from creditors—to shield his wealth.Nature of Accounts: These accounts were often "secret" or "hidden," making it difficult for investigators and victims to track the full extent of his domestic assets.The 1953 Trust: Just 48 hours before his death in August 2019, Epstein moved the majority of his $577 million fortune into a "pour-over" will and a private entity known as the 1953 Trust. While this trust was established in the U.S. Virgin Islands, it was designed to interact with his broader web of domestic trust structures, including those in South Dakota.

"Senator Ron Wyden said in Congress that the US Treasury Department file on Epstein detailed from one account no less than 4,725 wire transfers that totalled $1.1 billion, and that he had extensive financial correspondence from Russian banks over his sex trafficking activities."
It’s like you can’t get away from State Treasurer Josh Haeder.
