Epstein financiers
Note 1: Seems Epstein was very financially demanding, for what was described as a financial advisor: https://nypost.com/2025/10/18/us-ne...nt-nasty-emails-to-apollo-founder-leon-black/

Bannon financiers:
Note 1: Mercer's has indirect links to Thiel too: https://www.propublica.org/article/...s-into-a-5-billion-dollar-tax-free-piggy-bank
Note 2: Mercer backed Cambridge Analytica and CNBC had some investigative reporting: https://www.cnbc.com/2021/09/15/rob...dark-money-gop-fund-during-2020-election.html
Note Guo is interesting.. first he seems to to want to overthrow china's CCP but at the same time has links to china's intelligence services:

So if Epstein and Bannon were in cahoots for both the 2016 trump election and the 2016/19 brexit, there's money flowing from crime and possibly the Chinese state.
The question is will the Epstein files expose a financing picture driven by crime and foreign states of China and Russia that focuses on removing democracy?

Source: https://www.bbc.co.uk/news/articles/ce78gkd7pgjoAfter his arrival in the US in 2017, Guo's outspoken opposition to China's rulers inspired several ventures with Bannon.
They appeared frequently together in online videos, and in 2020 they launched a campaign called the New Federal State of China, with the goal of overthrowing the Chinese Communist Party.
