According to [MENTION=65299]Swordsmyth[/MENTION] it’s “absurd” to post about the links of both Donald Trump and his long-time friend Jeffrey Epstein to the Bear Stearns bank.

Just pointing out the kind of absurd guilt by association you like so much.
Interestingly, the U.S. Attorney for the Southern District of New York (SDNY) oversees prosecutions of Wall Street banks and the privately owned Federal Reserve Bank of New York (both located in that district).
After Geoffrey Berman was ousted as US attorney, President Donald nominated Jay Clayton for SDNY US Attorney, who was previously installed by Donald to head the Securities and Exchange Commission (SEC).
Clayton, who Donald likes to “oversee” (not) prosecution of the major banks, has previously represented 8 of the 10 largest Wall Street banks when he was an attorney, partner at the Sullivan & Cromwell law firm...
Jay Clayton has worked for UBS and the
Deutsche Bank that was recently fined $150 million (after charges brought by Berman’s office) over amongst others its relationship with Jeffrey Epstein.
He also represented the film studio of Harvey Weinstein.
Clayton represented
Goldman Sachs in perhaps its most important deal, the $5 billion investment by Warren E. Buffett’s Berkshire Hathaway during the 2008 financial crisis. His wife, Gretchen, has worked at Goldman Sachs...
In the last year, Jay Clayton earned some $7.6 million from Sullivan & Cromwell. He has investments in Apollo Global Management, Bain Capital (founded by Mitt Romney), J.C. Flowers and Perry Partners.
Jay Clayton has also represented TeliaSonera that has business ties to Russia and Iran.
The deals Clayton was involved in, included its stake in Russian mobile phone operator MegaFon, with the Russian Altimo that has long been controlled by the notorious Russian billionaire, Chabad-Lubavitcher
Mikhail Fridman, who is best known for controlling the Alfa Group (including the Alfa Bank that communicated with the Trump Organization and the Spectrum Health of the DeVos family during the 2016 election campaign):

Clayton is by no means the only lawyer Trump has nominated, appointed with ties to the
Alfa Group...
See Rudy Giuliani with the heads of Alfa Bank; Mikhail Fridman (left) and Pyotr Aven in Moscow at Alfa’s “Award for Excellence in Foreign Investment in Russia”.
Jay Clayton has also arranged Initial Public Offerings for a number of companies, including the $1.2 billion
Och-Ziff Capital Management IPO (of Dan Gertler, the Chabad-Lubavitcher plundering the Congo).
During the financial crisis of 2007–2008, Clayton advised
Bear Stearns in its fire sale to JPMorgan Chase in 2007:

Alan "Ace" Greenberg as Chairman of Bear Stearns hired Jeffrey Epstein, after he was fired (?) as teacher at the Dalton School (where he had been hired by AG Bill Barr's father Donald Barr ).
The business relationship between Epstein and Bear Stearns continued for many years.
Greenberg also bank-rolled the Donald Trump myth with hundreds of millions for years.
Here´s a $352 million mortgage-backed bond to finance Donald´s first casino.
In 1986, Bear Stearns arranged a cool $250 million bond sale to buy the Plaza.
Trump even had 2 anonymous, numbered accounts at Bear Stearns to hide his identity.
Donald’t Treasury Secretary Steven Mnuchin is a member of Skull & Bones and former Goldman Sachs partner who once ran Dune Capital, a fund financed by George Soros. Steve Mnuchin has also worked for Soros Fund Management LLC and the Soros funded SFM Capital Management.
Steven’s brother, Alan Mnuchin, is a former banker at Bear Stearns (where Epstein started his amazing ascend and financed Donald Trump for years) and Lehman Bros. Alan Mnuchin’s advisory firm, AGM Partners, in one of those strange coincidences, has represented Edgar Bronfman Jr..
Steven’s father, Robert “Bob” Mnuchin, was also a partner at Goldman Sachs (where he worked for 30 years).
Bob Mnuchin and his second wife, Adriana, are neighbours of none other than the friend of Roy Cohn, Donald Trump and Jeffrey Epstein - Barbara Walters:
