The Epstein Files, Mapped · Financial investigation

The Money Atlas.

A documentary examination of what the financial records establish, where money appears to have moved, and where the surviving evidence stops.

Explore transaction candidates, bank-produced charts, court schedules and recipient records. Individual events retain their original source grades and unresolved questions.

Choose a line of inquiry.

The underlying research reports describe several financial mechanisms. Each entry below connects to the source-controlled ledger rather than treating secondary analysis as independent proof.

Each question has an evidence trail.

These research threads are informed by the wider financial-forensics report collection. They open records within our original ledger and identify important limits before evidence can be treated as an established finding.

01 · Trust accounts

The Haze Trust

Explore the bank-produced charts of account movements and auction-linked credits while keeping internal sweeps separate from proven disbursements.

The bank-source register lists separately dated Christie’s and Sotheby’s credits that can be examined without assuming the downstream recipient.

The broader secondary report collection is a research index, not an independently verified source of allegations. The matching counters classify records already in Atlas 10; overlaps between threads cannot be combined into a financial total.
03 / Investigative reading room

Read a financial record closely.

These first-edition case summaries use the existing canonical Atlas 10 ledger. Every case opens a related record and its primary-source limitations.

Document examination

The Haze Trust and related accounts

Bank charts describe distinct related-account transfers. A listed transfer should not be promoted to a settled payment without original posting records.

The records do not establish a network-wide net cash figure. Reported aggregates and internal transfers must not be added together.

Source-controlled record: AT10-T000047

Source examination · Deutsche Bank Exhibit D

Three receipts are not the entire money trail.

Three 2017 auction-company payments appear in the Haze Trust bank chart. Later transfers between related accounts are recorded separately. Adding every row together would count some movement more than once.

The original auction receipts

The bank chart lists $7,725,000 from Christie's on June 19,

1,536,544 from Sotheby's on September 25, and
1,249,417 from Sotheby's on October 24, 2017. These entries already appear as AT10-T000050, 051 and 053 in the canonical 319-record ledger. Their total of $30,510,961 is gross source-listed receipts, not verified net profit.

Examine the original bank chart (Exhibit D) ↗

What a transfer between trust accounts means

The same exhibit records $36 million from Haze brokerage to Haze checking and $35.999 million from checking to a Haze New York branch account on March 10. They are separate legs of related-account movement, not $71.999 million in new income. The source does not explain the

,000 difference.

Why the final destination remains unverified

Later chart entries include

5 million moved from Haze checking on September 26 and
3 million on October 26. Their proximity to auction receipts does not prove the specific proceeds funded each later transfer. The record does not independently identify a final beneficiary or ownership of each artwork.

Accounting limit: The source register also contains 41 reported aggregates kept separate from 319 individual event or instrument records. Do not sum internal transfers or those aggregates into a purported network-wide net flow. No finding of auction-company wrongdoing follows from these receipts.

04 / Documented counterparties

Follow a recorded relationship.

The interactive graph draws individually listed candidate sender-to-recipient relationships. A line reflects its source classification and does not by itself certify bank clearing, beneficial ownership or culpability.

How to read the graph

One source-defined connection at a time.

Lines are generated from records that name both a sender and a recipient. The inspector reveals the source document and unresolved classification.

Gold line: listed record, not necessarily a cleared payment.
Dashed line: accounting or bank-produced relationship requiring documentary interpretation.
05 / Geographic context

Where the institutions appear.

This geographic index locates cities and jurisdictions relevant to the financial evidence. Pins are contextual research entry points, not reconstructed payment routes or claims about someone's physical presence.

Geographic labels refer to public institutional and court-record contexts. Map data © OpenStreetMap contributors. No transaction route is inferred from a marker.

Place index

Choose a city or jurisdiction

Each selection opens a relevant search through the source records. The underlying document, rather than this map, determines what actually happened.

06 / Source chronology

When records appear.

The bars count source-listed candidate events by assigned record year. Heights represent the number of entries rather than dollars, unique transfers or financial wrongdoing.

Choose a year to inspect its source-listed entries. Re-select a year to restore all dates.
07 / Independent source comparison

Two entries, examined together.

Choose any two of the 319 canonical records. This tool compares their reported amounts, state classifications, source identifiers and duplicate-group labels. Shared documents do not necessarily mean shared payments.

Loading the evidence register…

A duplicated source group signals a review requirement; it does not alone prove that the two records are duplicate bank postings. Original instruments and settlement documentation control any conclusion about money actually moving.

08 / Search the canonical ledger

Every entry can be opened to see the named parties, the classification, cited sources, the reported amount and the questions left unanswered by its original record.

09 / The source desk

Evidence with its limits visible.

The 63 source descriptions preserve the original document URL, the applicable page or exhibit locator and the limitations of what was actually reviewed. Source grades identify the status of an individual record; they do not establish a legal finding against a person.

Type A

Original, directly reviewed

Two event records meet the ledger's current highest source grade. Individual bank settlement documents remain subject to their stated scope.

Type B

Document-supported reporting

228 records use corroborated institutional, governmental, court or bank-produced sources, often with remaining original-document limitations.

Type C

Qualified or pending

89 entries require additional original images, posted transactions, beneficiary-bank records or independent reconciliation.

Methodology and safeguards. The archive has 319 candidate events and financial instruments, with 41 reported aggregates kept separate because adding them to individual transactions would double count the same money. Twelve Schedule D items totaling $160,011 were listed as outstanding at the 2019 cutoff; they are not represented as confirmed cleared payments. Reports from the broader secondary research corpus are used as research leads, with their claims admitted only where independently supported by sources here. Calendar proximity cannot establish the motive or purpose of a payment.
