Leah of The Leah Files has just published Part III of her Currency Killer series, The New US Dollar: The One Epstein Built.

[…]

I have been publishing evidence for years now that the American Financial System is a system built on the Jeffrey Epstein child sex-trafficking network.

And this latest article by The Leah Files provides strong evidence to that fact, and connects all the dots showing just who is doing this in this current Zionist Trump Administration.

The New US Dollar: The One Epstein Built

Inside the private currency built by Epstein’s crypto network, legalized by this administration, and controlled by the people who killed the old one.

by The Leah Files

Excerpts:

I think they are replacing the US dollar with a private one.

Not in some distant future, not as a theory, but right now. Exposed and documented, happening in front of us, and no one is stopping it. If you haven’t read Parts I or II of my Currency Killer Series, go check them out. This is Part III and it may be the worse one yet.

The United States government banned itself from making a digital dollar. Then it crashed the real one. Then it handed the replacement to a private company connected to $17 billion in organized crime, whose co-founder spent eight years as Jeffrey Epstein’s personal crypto advisor, and whose largest shareholder was convicted of software piracy before becoming the richest man in Italy.

That company is called Tether. It controls $183 billion in digital currency and it is now the 17th largest holder of US government debt on earth. It has never completed a publicly released independent audit. The UN has linked it to $17 billion in organized crime.

Tether is a stablecoin company, but it also owns 210,000 hectares of South American farmland and operates Argentina’s sole fertilizer producer. It holds a majority stake in a brain-computer interface company. It is the lead investor in a humanoid robotics firm. It owns 48 percent of a conservative media platform. Its third-largest shareholder controls a 10 percent stake in the privatized research arm of the UK Ministry of Defence.

Everyone involved is getting rich, except the American people.

Howard Lutnick’s sons’ own a piece of Tether. His firm, Cantor Fitzgerald custodies its reserves. Lutnick’s former minion, Bo Hines, championed the law regulating it from inside the White House and resigned one month after the president signed it, becoming CEO of the company the law was written for.

Scott Bessent is blocking a billion dollars in suspicious Epstein banking records while his old fund was paying an intelligence firm controlled by Epstein’s partner. Trump’s family has made over a billion dollars launching their own stablecoin.

This is not deregulation, it’s a heist. And I am going to show you what they are doing.

Welcome to Part III of the Currency Killer series.

What Is Tether

Most people have never heard of Tether. So let’s start there.

A stablecoin is a digital token pegged to the US dollar. You send a company one real dollar, and they give you one digital token that is supposed to be worth one dollar. The company holds your real dollar in reserve.

The token trades on crypto markets like cash. When you want your money back, you redeem the token and the company gives you a dollar.

Tether is the largest stablecoin on earth.

It has $183 billion of these tokens in circulation. That makes it bigger than the GDP of most countries.

The company is supposed to hold $183 billion in real reserves to back them. It earns interest on those reserves, mostly US Treasury bills, which generated $13 billion in profit in 2024 alone. It has roughly 200 employees.

Here is the problem: the CFTC found in 2021 that Tether was actually fully backed by reserves only 27.6 percent of the time. The company paid $41 million in fines.

The New York Attorney General’s office reached a separate $18.5 million settlement over similar misrepresentations. The UN has linked Tether’s token to $17 billion in criminal activity.

The DOJ has an active criminal probe. And the company has never completed a full, publicly released independent audit.

[…]

Now let’s look at who built it because this is where I knew there was something more nefarious happening.

The Man Who Built Tether

His name is Brock Pierce. Before he co-founded Tether, he was the teenage Vice President of a company called Digital Entertainment Network (DEN).

The founder of that company, Marc Collins-Rector, was later convicted of child sex trafficking.

In the late 1990s, Pierce became Vice President of Digital Entertainment Network (DEN), a pioneering internet video company founded by Marc Collins-Rector, at the age of 17, earning a salary of $250,000.

At DEN’s Hollywood Hills parties, Collins-Rector and others allegedly sexually assaulted half a dozen teenage boys, including a 15-year-old, according to civil lawsuits filed between 1999 and 2002. When Collins-Rector fled the country to avoid prosecution, Pierce went with him.

They ended up in a villa in Marbella, Spain, which police raided in 2002 and found Collins-Rector, Pierce, and a third DEN executive, along with child pornography and firearms.

Collins-Rector was convicted of child sexual abuse in 2004. Pierce was never charged, but the civil lawsuit resulted in a $2,000,030 default judgment plus $1 million in interest because Pierce and his co-defendants never responded to the allegations of rape, assault, and death threats.

In 2010, Jeffrey Epstein was trying to salvage his reputation after his first sex trafficking conviction. He hired a man named Al Seckel, a serial scammer and self-styled illusionist who had been in a relationship with Ghislaine Maxwell’s sister Isabel for years.

Seckel organized a conference for the Epstein Foundation on Little Saint James, Epstein’s private island, called the Mindshift Conference.

Pierce was invited to present on Bitcoin. It was January 2011. Epstein noticed him immediately.

In an email sent under a fake name, Epstein singled out “brock” as “interesting.” Within three months, Pierce was at Epstein’s Manhattan townhouse asking for financial advice. Their partnership lasted eight years.

The way they were introduced tells us a lot.

Pierce entered Epstein’s world through a man who was dating the sister of Ghislaine Maxwell, the woman who procured and groomed girls for Epstein’s trafficking operation, now serving twenty years in federal prison.

The man who made the introduction, Seckel, was later found dead at the bottom of a hundred-foot cliff in southern France.

And Pierce walked in already carrying a default judgment for rape and an affinity for child porn. Epstein saw exactly what he was getting and Pierce was the perfect target.

What followed was not casual networking. It was an eight-year operational relationship between a crypto pioneer and a convicted predator, documented in thousands of pages of emails released by the Department of Justice on January 30, 2026.

The Emails

The DOJ released over 3.5 million pages of Epstein files, including direct correspondence between Pierce and Epstein spanning 2011 to 2019.

Pierce was mentioned 1,815 times, more than almost any other private figure.

[…]

But the business side of the relationship is what changed the world.

Pierce was not just advising Epstein on crypto. He was the bridge between Epstein’s money and the people who would build the infrastructure that now threatens to replace the US dollar.

He brokered the Coinbase deal.

In December 2014, Pierce connected Epstein to Coinbase’s Series C round through his venture firm, Blockchain Capital. Epstein invested $3 million. Coinbase co-founder Fred Ehrsam emailed asking to meet Epstein in New York.

[…]

He pitched Bitcoin to Larry Summers at Epstein’s townhouse.

[…=

The Network

Pierce and Epstein did not operate in a vacuum. Their shared network reached into the political and financial circles that now control American crypto policy.

Steve Bannon. Pierce and Bannon had worked together for seven years before any of this. Pierce hired Bannon in 2005 to run the financial side of his company Internet Gaming Entertainment

[…]

Peter Thiel. Epstein invested $40 million into Thiel’s venture firm, Valar Ventures, in 2015 and 2016. Reid Hoffman made the introduction.

That bet became the single largest asset of the Epstein estate, valued at roughly $170 million by the time Epstein died.

Thiel’s proteges now run US crypto policy: JD Vance is Vice President, David Sacks served as crypto czar, and Thiel’s Founders Fund was the largest investor in Polymarket.

[…]

The man who co-founded the stablecoin holding $135 billion in US government debt was at the center of all of it.

[…]

Where Pierce Is Now

Brock Pierce lives in Puerto Rico, where Act 60 allows him to pay near-zero taxes on capital gains. He is still Chairman of the Bitcoin Foundation. He still runs the Integro Foundation, whose most recent IRS filing shows $78 in total assets.

[…]

Tether Today

Now that you know what Tether is and who built it, here is who runs it.

Who Owns It

Tether has never voluntarily disclosed who owns it. It is a private company incorporated in the British Virgin Islands with no public reporting obligation.

The only known ownership data comes from leaked documents reported by the Wall Street Journal in 2023, showing stakes as of 2018. As of those documents, four people controlled 86 percent of the company.

[…]

Now here is the part that made me consider this one the most important articles of the Currency Killer series.

This is not a hedge fund buying farmland as an inflation hedge. Tether looks to be building something specific.

Adecoagro co-founded a company called Agrotoken, which has already created three grain-backed stablecoins: SOYA, CORA, and WHEA.

Each token represents one ton of grain.

Farmers can use them as currency. Agrotoken partnered with Visa so producers can spend grain tokens with a card. They have already tokenized 230,000 tons of grain and transacted $70 million in deals. Adecoagro’s CEO said the goal was to build “tokenized land.”

[…]

Tether now controls the land, the crops grown on that land, the fertilizer those crops need to grow, the mills that process the harvest, and the platform that can tokenize all of it into digital currency. It already issues the largest stablecoin on earth.

The Switch

On January 23, 2025, Trump signed Executive Order 14178. It banned all federal agencies from developing or promoting a central bank digital currency. No government digital dollar.

The only digital dollars allowed in America would be private ones.

That same executive order explicitly promoted “the development and growth of lawful and legitimate dollar-backed stablecoins worldwide.” They banned the public option and endorsed the private replacement in the same document.

Then they weakened the dollar.

The Replacement

On July 18, 2025, Trump signed the GENIUS Act into law. It created the first federal framework for privately issued stablecoins, the exact product Tether sells.

[…]

Who Else Is Getting Rich

The Trump Family

World Liberty Financial, the crypto venture backed by the Trump family, has generated over $1 billion in revenue. It launched its own stablecoin, USD1, which was used in a $2 billion investment deal between a Binance-affiliated entity and Abu Dhabi investors.

[…]

The Thiel Network

Peter Thiel took $40 million from Epstein through the Valar Ventures fund, an introduction brokered by Pierce. That investment produced $170 million in returns and became the largest single asset in the Epstein estate.

Thiel’s network has been central to shaping crypto policy: his protege JD Vance is now Vice President, David Sacks served as the administration’s crypto czar for 130 days, and Thiel’s Founders Fund was the largest investor in Polymarket, the crypto prediction market that went from a $350 million valuation to $21 billion under the new deregulatory framework.

Polymarket has Trump Jr. on its advisory board and has flagged $200 million in suspicious trading activity.

How a play on words is being used to disguise serious engineered risks to Kiwis’ food and another push on the vaccine compliance button.

If you have been following the global health-industrial complex for any length of time, the current news cycle around H5N1 bird flu in New Zealand will feel alarmingly familiar. The script is identical: a new viral threat emerges, warning bells ring, emergency measures are implemented, and soon, the messaging turns inexorably toward vaccination with the same unanswered questions trailing behind.

The pieces are falling into place with remarkable speed. We predicted no less. 

Goodness knows, we have been calling a bird flu pandemic for years, and not because nature is inevitably mischievous and careless – unless you count all humans as part of nature. Of course we are, but the behaviour of some would make you wonder.

Flockdowns Begin

In mid July 2026 New Zealand recorded supposedly its first known case of the H5N1 strain in a wild brown skua on Petone Beach. A couple of days later a second miraculous 40-cycle (ie meaningless) PCR detection followed in a native kāhu (swamp harrier) in the Wairarapa. Within days, Mainland Poultry which supplies nearly 40 percent of the country’s eggs locked down over half a million free-range hens.

“We had a pretty busy weekend closing off the pop holes,” said CEO John McKay. Free-range eggs make up about 45 percent of the market, but consumer preferences are now secondary to the perceived threat. The chickens, we are told, “would hate being locked up,” but it is better than being “wiped out.”

Farmers report being “flockdown ready.” The infrastructure for mass animal containment is already operational.

By mid August a third bird (a northern giant petrel) tested positive in the Wairarapa.

The Standard Playbook Unfolds

In the background, we are seeing the familiar pattern of a “One Health” approach linking animal and human health authorities. The Department of Conservation is rushing to jabbinate breeding pairs of critically endangered native species, but with a different vaccine than the one that was tested in 2024. MPI is conducting surveillance, urging the public to report sick birds, and warning people not to touch dead wildlife.

Meanwhile, the Ministry of Health is working alongside the Ministry for Primary Industries and Health New Zealand as part of this “coordinated preparedness campaign”.

Perhaps they should combine to form the Ministry of Mental.  You can almost hear the obscene excitement of the unhealthy globalist slobs as they get to cut down the choices of the clued-up and health conscious. We are reminded of the attempt in 2016 to pathologise people who were proactive about their health, ate organic, took targeted supplements etc. Orthorexia nervosa was the term proposed. You can bet that many of the focused and informed orthorexics won’t swallow any jabs lies incoming.

The Vaccine Question, Again

So, that inevitable question: when will the push for human vaccination begin?

As we noted in previous analyses, the planning for a human H5N1 vaccine in New Zealand, as part of a general readying of council-level and national bird flu responses,  is already quite far advanced.

NZ’s shiny new pandemic plan of 2024 says the following:

“Depending on transmission rates, the severity of the illness and the efficacy of vaccine in preventing transmission and reducing poor health outcomes, the government may consider imposing restrictions under legislation on people who choose not to accept vaccination, in relation to work, access to premises and other activities. If legislative measures of this nature are adopted, consideration needs to be given to the New Zealand Bill of Rights Act, legitimate exemptions, international travel requirements and public acceptability in light of the wider framework of response measures.”

The Panvax vaccine has been sitting in the National Reserve Supply for years, and its provisional consent was most recently renewed in 2024 – but now as a different formulation. It contains 30 micrograms of haemagglutinin per dose, is adjuvanted with aluminium phosphate (0.5 mg per dose), and is formulated in embryonated chicken eggs, a production method that carries its own concerns for those with egg allergies, despite the data sheet’s reassurances. At least there is some data this time, and it is not an mRNA “zero risk medical product”, so beloved of the Medical Council.

The data sheet itself is revealing. It notes that clinical trials with “prototype pandemic vaccines” have been conducted, but admits: “There are currently no defined levels of serum antibody responses known to correlate with clinical protection against infection with pandemic influenza viruses.” In other words, we do not actually know what antibody level means protection, if any. We have learned a lot about the failure of injecting vaccines into the blood for what are predominantly airway infections – and developed a deep scepticism about “viral immunology” in general, thanks to the covid bioweapon assault.

Predictably, in line with the sickening new normal of medical unethics, the vaccine’s safety in pregnancy has not been studied. Healthcare providers are told to “assess the risks and potential benefits … on a case by case basis.” Well, at least that is better than the covid jab advice most NZ women got about pregnancy.

Where Are the Safety Assessments?

Our prior work has repeatedly highlighted the lack of long-term safety data for rapid-deployment vaccines. And we have been shown how truly, madly, deeply disastrous that can turn out. Cancer, heart damage, rubbery white clots found in many, and not just after death.

The same pattern emerges here. The Panvax vaccine has been given provisional consent, but where is the comprehensive safety assessment for the New Zealand population? Oh yes, now we remember that provisional consent means there is NO REQUIREMENT for safety or efficacy data, nor proof of good manufacturing practice. The US equivalent, Emergency Use Authorisation (EUA) under the PREP Act, does not even require informed, or any, consent.

Health NZ’s Medicines Adverse Reactions Committee (MARC) minutes show that “a subset of the studies should be conducted in New Zealand to reflect our population, or at least recruit Māori and Pacific Peoples”. This admission that the existing studies are not representative shines more light at the engineered inadequacy of the evidence base.

There are three potential vaccines mentioned in those minutes. It does not say they will be used for bird flu, but must be used in accordance with the NZ Pandemic Plan.

The Threat to Ourselves and the Food Supply

As of late 2025, Public Health and Forensic (PHF) Science reported 41 human cases in the US, mostly among dairy farm workers, with mild illness and “no evidence of human-to-human transmission”. We are reminded of the initial dire warnings by the now deputy chief of the World Hijack Organisation, Jeremy Farrar of imminent bird flu in Vietnam in 2004/5. But now, if the news channels are to be believed, the virus is vaulting species and gaining function like a true champion. Billions of years of natural barriers to this viral anarchy have just fallen away apparently, completely coincidental to the era of globalism.

But if we quiet our beating hearts, bird flu is described as having “generally poor ability to transmit to humans”. The Johns Hopkins risk assessment rates the overall risk of widespread transmission as “low” even in scenarios where the illness is widespread in cattle. https://www.yalemedicine.org/news/h5n1-bird-flu-what-to-know

At the same time, we are being told that free-range eggs, nearly half the market, could be affected. Woolworths has issued statements urging calm and asking consumers not to hoard. But the signals are mixed. If free-range birds are locked indoors long-term, their “free-range” status may be affected, potentially impacting supply chains.

Farmers are already reporting the emotional toll of culling and the lack of insurance coverage for avian influenza outbreaks. The cost of repopulating layer flocks is high, and replacement chickens could become scarce.

Disruptions to the food supply were clearly telegraphed, and now they are here. The race has been between the next plan-demic and the incoming diesel crisis. And so, the pressure to accept interventions including vaccinations intensifies. Is this the techno-Marxist wet dream again?

Will This Be the Stick?

Many have forecast exactly this scenario for years, as has the Hollywood/Netflix pipeline, churning out several decades of predictive programming of a viral zombie apocalypse. So here’s Covid 2.0, as another novel virus emerges. The media amplifies fear, little Hitlers roll out containment measures and before you can say “befuddling sudden deaths” the public health emergency becomes the justification for pushing medical products with negative safety data.

The question is: will this be the stick that gets Kiwis the prick? Surely, not nearly as many this time. The pattern from covid is unmistakable. Fear of illness, concern for loved ones, economic anxiety, and social pressure all combined to drive uptake last time – but are so many still so trusting?

However, with the added dimension of a threatened food supply, the pressure may be even more acute. The message is already being crafted: vaccinated birds protect the food supply; protected food supply protects the nation; therefore, vaccination is essential.

What We Should Be Asking – Apart From, Are You Effing Kidding Me?

1. What are the long-term safety data for Panvax in the New Zealand population? Where are the studies specific to Māori and Pacific peoples that the MARC committee itself recommended? We learnt from Comirnaty that provisional consent requires NO safety data.
2. What is the actual risk to the general public? With no evidence of human-to-human transmission and most cases being mild, is mass human vaccination justified at all let alone proportionate?
3. Why was the vaccine stockpiled in the first place, and at what price? What evidence supported this decision, and has that evidence been made public?
4. What is the exit strategy? If the alleged illness cannot be eradicated in wildlife as authorities themselves acknowledge, what is the endgame?
5. How will informed consent be ensured? Given the data sheet’s admissions about limited safety data in specific populations, how will these risks be communicated?

The pieces are in motion. The question is whether we will once again be passive recipients of a predetermined outcome, or whether we just refuse to play this time.  At least we can demand the transparency and evidence that any medical intervention of this scale warrants.
