Bear Stearns — Early Career
Epstein joined Bear Stearns in 1976 and rose to become a limited partner under the mentorship of CEO Alan 'Ace' Greenberg. He specialized in advising wealthy clients on tax strategy. Epstein left Bear Stearns in 1981 under circumstances that have never been fully explained — some accounts suggest he was asked to leave, though the firm never publicly stated reasons.
The Bear Stearns period established Epstein's connections to ultra-high-net-worth individuals and gave him the financial credibility to later launch J. Epstein & Co.
