Reputed federal informant, whistleblower found dead in L.A. after he's reported missing
A reputed federal informant and whistleblower who went missing after he was reported to have turned over a trove of secret files about Deutsche Bank was found dead at a Los Angeles school this week, a police official said Wednesday.
The body of Valentin Broeksmit, 46, was found Monday at Woodrow Wilson High School shortly before 7 a.m., Sgt. Rudy Perez of the Los Angeles School Police Department said in an email.
Ever hear that urban legend about the secret Deutsche bank files? you receive them in the mail and then your phone starts going. . .ring ring, ring ring. It’s a nytimes journalist calling you for a story. Then 7 months later you kill yourself.
The Wesner connection is the limited hangout. While obviously legit, it takes the conspiracy nuts down the Meyer Lansky timeline and has them frothing over cia, mossad connections, but they never get to any of the underlying truth, which was Epstein worked for a syndicate of western oligarchs who are all named in his little black book. Same thing as with the JFK assassination, where links to the mafia had people thinking the mafia were behind the assassination, as opposed to the CIA, which in turn didn't have the decision making power to off a president unless it was sanctioned by the same collection of industrial oligarchs Epstein worked for.
