A previously unexamined entity in the Epstein financial web. DB's Stewart Oldfield described Paul Barrett — "former head of GIO (like our ISG) desk at JPM" — as having "recently started his own RIA, Alpha Group Capital, with financial backing from Southern Financial (Jeffrey Epstein). Paul now has trading authority for Jeffrey's accounts."
This means:
The Barrett connection creates a direct JPM → DB financial talent pipeline around Epstein's accounts.
