The Crimes Can’t Be Buried
The 2,000 pages of court documents released Friday on Jeffrey Epstein revealed another shocking truth: Jeffrey Epstein’s Zorro Trust won $29.3 million from the Powerball in 2008. Interesting enough, the winning ticket did not come from New Mexico — where Epstein has his Zorro Ranch — but instead from Oklahoma. The ticket was picked up in a Stripes Convenience Store of Altus, Okla., for a drawing held July 2. Altus is located in western Oklahoma, near the Texas border.
The July 2 drawing was most peculiar. Almost all Powerball drawings are broadcast on the nightly news, but the time Epstein won, there was a “glitch” and the winning drawing was never shown live on the air. Instead, it was conducted off-camera, supposedly in the company of an auditor. Epstein’s Zorro Trust became the third mega winner of the Powerball out of Oklahoma.
In what surely merits further investigation, the Zorro Trust winning wasn’t the first time a New Mexico-based trust took home the Powerball top prize from a ticket purchased in Oklahoma. The very first Powerball winning in Oklahoma was claimed in August of 2006 by the WJW Investment Trust. The investment trust picked up its winning ticket at a Quick Trip store at 4705 S. Elm Street in Broken Arrow, Oklahoma, one of the suburbs of Tulsa.
It’s not clear yet who all of the principals were in the WJW Investment Trust. But the trustee who went to Oklahoma to pick up the $101.8 million prize was Richard K. Barlow, an attorney with the Keleher & McLeod law firm in Albuquerque. More from Amazing Polly.

Matt Whitaker, former acting US Attorney General, says “serious questions” have been raised by Epstein’s death. He discusses the steps the Department of Justice needs to undertake to get to the bottom of the issue and demonstrate the kind of transparency to reassure a public whose confidence in the federal government has been sorely shaken.
