Bear Stearns was Jeffrey Epstein's first employer on Wall Street, where he worked from 1976-1981 and rose from junior assistant to limited partner before leaving amid an SEC insider trading investigation.
Bear Stearns appears prominently in documents describing Epstein's career origins and rise to wealth. Multiple documents recount how a Dalton School parent introduced Epstein to Bear Stearns CEO Ace Greenberg in 1976, and how he quickly advanced to the special-products division advising wealthy clients. The documents also reference his 1981 departure during an SEC investigation and his continued relationship with the firm as a client and investor until its 2008 collapse. Court filings cite his Bear Stearns tenure when establishing his financial background.
