Den Hollander; Esther Salas; Jeffrey Epstein<\/p>\n
The attorney suspected of shooting Judge Esther Salas\u2019 son and husband is being portrayed as a misogyny-crazed \u201canti-feminist,\u201d but there seems to be more to the story, including links to the Deutsche Bank case Salas was hearing.<\/p>\n
Roy Den Hollander, found dead of an allegedly self-inflicted gunshot wound in a car in the New York Catskills on Monday, has been fingered by authorities as the primary suspect in the shooting of Salas\u2019 son and husband at their New Jersey home on Sunday. Other than the FedEx uniform he was wearing when discovered and a package in his car addressed to the judge, however, it\u2019s not clear what links him to the scene \u2013 or what his motive was, if indeed he was the shooter.<\/p>\n
Den Hollander described himself on his website as a specialist in \u201canti-feminist litigation, investigations, and advice on general corporate matters.\u201d The media explanation suggested the lawyer hated Salas, whom he once dissed as a “lazy and incompetent Latina judge appointed by Obama,” enough to hunt her down five years later and attempt to kill her family. While he had a case before the judge in 2015 that didn’t go well, that motive doesn’t explain why he’d shoot her male relatives without trying to find her, or why he would then kill himself.<\/p>\n
While the insults directed at Salas are harsh, they\u2019re taken from a searing self-published manuscript riddled with casual misogyny directed against multiple women \u2013 chiefly his Russian ex-wife, whom he refers to as a \u201cRussian mafia moll,\u201d a \u201cprostitute,\u201d and a \u201cstriper [sic], call girl, pimp, money launderer, and drug smuggler for the Russian mafia.\u201d He even credits the woman with turning him from a \u201cstupid frigging fool\u201d susceptible to female trickery into the \u201canti-Feminazi\u201d lawyer he subsequently became. His own mother isn\u2019t spared either \u2013 he dedicates the book to her, along with hopes that she \u201cburn[s] in hell.\u201d<\/p>\n
As for Salas, Den Hollander landed in her court challenging the male-only draft policy of the US Army. According to his book, the attorney \u201cwanted to ask the Judge out, but thought she might hold [him] in contempt.\u201d While he disapproved of her handling of the case, he\u2019d soon moved on to bigger things, suing several news reporters (including NBC\u2019s Chuck Todd and Katy Tur and the New York Times\u2019 David Brooks) for allegedly violating RICO statutes by publishing \u201cfake news\u201d about then-candidate Donald Trump. Salas seemed all but forgotten \u2013 if anything, Den Hollander claimed to understand her motivation for dragging her feet on his case, suggesting she wanted to move up to a higher court and thus couldn\u2019t make any decisions that could be framed as political. There are zero hints in the manuscript<\/a> the attorney was nursing a five-year grudge.<\/p>\n Not mentioned in the sensationalistic media coverage of Den Hollander\u2019s past is the lawyer\u2019s stint with Kroll Associates, a shadowy firm with ties<\/a> to US and Israeli intelligence. Known informally as the \u201cprivate CIA,\u201d Kroll\u2019s ranks were stacked with former agents of the CIA, FBI, Mossad, and MI6. A member of the Bush family sat on its advisory board before that was dissolved in 1991, and then-Arkansas Governor Bill Clinton hired it during his first presidential campaign that same year. Den Hollander officially worked for Kroll from 1999 to 2000, but given that the company has long worked closely with lawyers, his relationship with it may have begun (or continued) in an unofficial capacity.<\/p>\n Given that Judge Salas was assigned to a lawsuit by Deutsche Bank investors against the firm less than a week before her son and husband were shot, Kroll\u2019s connections with that bank are also noteworthy \u2013 and absent from any media speculation on Den Hollander\u2019s motives. After leaving Kroll Associates in 2008, founder Jules Kroll launched Kroll Bond Rating Agency, a credit rating agency that has become something of a second home for high-ranking Deutsche Bank staff, employing over half a dozen<\/a> VP-level and above staff. The cozy \u201crevolving door\u201d relationship has seen KBRA vociferously defend Deutsche Bank in the press against allegations of wrongdoing \u2013 no matter how well-founded.<\/p>\n The suit in Salas\u2019 court alleged the bank had failed to vet \u201crisky\u201d clients like Jeffrey Epstein, the notorious (and now deceased) pedophile suspected of having his own rather extensive ties to Israeli and US intelligence.<\/p>\n According<\/a> to Vanity Fair, Kroll himself was hired by newspaper baron and Israeli spy<\/a> Robert Maxwell \u2013 father of imprisoned alleged Epstein madam Ghislaine Maxwell \u2013 to uncover \u201cpeople out to get him, to destroy his empire, to cripple him financially, and to destroy his life and business in any way they could.\u201d Maxwell died under mysterious circumstances \u2013 also officially declared suicide despite considerable evidence to the contrary \u2013 before he could compile the \u201cmemorandum of suspicions and unexplained events\u201d he planned to send Kroll, the magazine claimed.<\/p>\n If the shooting and apparent attempt on Salas\u2019 life are indeed linked to the Deutsche Bank case, Hollander\u2019s subsequent \u201csuicide\u201d would be far from the first suspicious death surrounding Epstein and his circle of high-flying associates. In addition to the well-connected pedophile\u2019s own infamous jailhouse suicide, performed during that crucial window of time when his guards happened to be sleeping and the surveillance cameras on the tier where he was housed were malfunctioning, his personal banker at Deutsche Bank supposedly did away with himself back in November. Thomas Bowers, head of the firm\u2019s Private Wealth Management Division from 2012 to 2015, was discovered hanging from a rope in his New York home before Thanksgiving, just as FBI agents were hoping to interview him about the loans he\u2019d approved to Epstein and his various shell companies. Epstein had followed Bowers to Deutsche Bank in 2013, where \u2013 despite his allegedly defaulting on some $25 million in loans from Citigroup \u2013 Bowers secured<\/a> further high-risk loans and credit lines for the convicted sex offender. Bowers was said to have visited Epstein\u2019s private island and attended events at his New York home.<\/p>\n The federal authorities were quick to declare Den Hollander\u2019s death a suicide, leaking to the press that he\u2019d shot himself before his name was even officially released upon finding the lawyer dead of a gunshot wound. But given that foul play is the rule, rather than the exception, in the circles in which Epstein moved, the shooting at Salas\u2019 home would seem to merit further investigation.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":" from rt.com Den Hollander; Esther Salas; Jeffrey Epstein The attorney suspected of shooting Judge Esther Salas\u2019 son and husband is being portrayed as a misogyny-crazed \u201canti-feminist,\u201d but there seems to be more to the story, including links to the Deutsche Bank case Salas was hearing.
