The death of late financier and convicted sex offender Jeffrey Epstein must be re-investigated in the wake of a "troubling" new report, according to a congressman over the weekend.
A new report on Saturday revealed that a prison guard responsible for checking in Epstein was tied to a "mysterious cash deposit" and an incriminating Google search. The New York Post dropped an article called, "Epstein prison guard googled him minutes before body found — and made mysterious deposit before pedophile’s suicide: DOJ," in which the outlet reported, "One of Jeffrey Epstein’s prison guards googled the sex predator minutes before he was found dead — and also made a mysterious $5,000 cash deposit 10 days before the predator’s jail-cell suicide, new Department of Justice documents reveal."
That report struck a chord with Dem lawmaker Ted Lieu, who demanded a new investigation to determine the cause of Epstein's death.
"The number of troubling 'coincidences' keeps piling up regarding the death of Jeffrey Epstein," he wrote on X. "The investigation into Epstein’s death must be reopened and conducted by an independent entity, instead of by people who work under a giant banner of Trump’s face."


BitGo’s move creates further competition in a burgeoning European crypto market that is expected to generate $26 billion revenue this year, according to one estimate. BitGo, a digital asset infrastructure company with more than $100 billion in assets under custody, has received an extension of its license from Germany’s Federal Financial Supervisory Authority (BaFin), enabling it to offer crypto services to European investors. The company said its local subsidiary, BitGo Europe, can now provide custody, staking, transfer, and trading services. Institutional clients will also have access to an over-the-counter (OTC) trading desk and multiple liquidity venues.The extension builds on BitGo’s previous Markets-in-Crypto-Assets (MiCA) license, also issued by BaFIN, and adds trading to the existing custody, transfer and staking services. BitGo acquired its initial MiCA license in May 2025, which allowed it to offer certain services to traditional institutions and crypto native companies in the European Union.Read more
