Harry Beller worked for Jeffrey Epstein for 22 years as a personal accountant.
-
His large cash withdrawals were the subject of at least four JPMorgan Suspicious Activity Reports.
-
Congress and lawyers in civil lawsuits want to know about Beller's role in Epstein's financial life.
Harry Beller isn't one of the boldfaced names who can be found all over Jeffrey Epstein's social calendar and emails, like former Barclays CEO Jes Staley, Bill Clinton, Donald Trump, or Prince Andrew.
But for years, Beller was entrusted with managing some of the most delicate parts of Epstein's financial life.
Beller was part of a tight-knit team working for Epstein, who killed himself in 2019 while awaiting trial on sex-trafficking charges. He worked under the direction of Richard Kahn, Epstein's top in-house accountant.
Congressional investigators interested in how Epstein made and spent his money — and whether banks ignored red flags that should have alerted them to sex-trafficking — now have Beller in their crosshairs.
In lawsuits involving Epstein, Beller comes across as something of a financial Forrest Gump — turning up repeatedly in the paper trail. He hasn't been named as a defendant in any of the lawsuits, but his name crops up on incorporation papers for Epstein's web of companies, on Ghislaine Maxwell's tax forms, on checks, and on cash withdrawal records for Epstein's bank accounts, which for years were held by JPMorgan Chase.
Civil lawsuits say HBRK — a company owned by Epstein and managed by Beller and Kahn — facilitated Epstein's sex-trafficking operation, although they do not name him or the company as defendants. Beller's name is on corporate records and tax documents entered into evidence at Maxwell's criminal trial, at which she was convicted of trafficking girls to Epstein for sex and later sentenced to 20 years in prison.
Democrats on the House Oversight Committee want to subpoena banks for their financial records about Beller and other people who did business with Epstein. Sen. Ron Wyden asked both the Treasury Department and JPMorgan CEO Jamie Dimon to produce records from Epstein-related accounts, including those opened by Beller.
Beller hasn't been accused of any crimes and there is no record of a federal agency pursuing an enforcement action against him. Through his attorney, Jonathan Sack, Beller declined to comment for this story.
A foot soldier in Epstein's financial life for 22 years, Beller could help shed light on Epstein's vast fortune — how he amassed it, and what he did with all his money.
