If you put “Klaus von Stutterheim” into the Department of Justice’s Epstein database, you won’t get any results. But, if you put in Stutterheim’s Deutsche Bank colleague, Steven Elkman, you’ll get emails like this:

This email is from 2010, three years before Epstein officially became a client of the bank that both Elkman and von Stutterheim worked for. We will return to this year shortly.
Officially retiring from Deutsche Bank in 2012, Klaus came to Montana and hit the ground running, immediately getting involved in Democratic politics by becoming a member of the Seeley Lake Community Council, as this application clearly shows:

Four years later, when the refugee question was getting Big Sky attention, this German-born banker pretended to be a naturally-born American and wrote “opinions” like this for the Seeley Lake Pathfinder:
A fiery debate has broken out about refugees and especially about the possibility of refugees in Missoula, fanned perhaps by the sometimes incendiary tenor of the Presidential primary debates.
But a more dispassionate examination of the facts suggests that things are nowhere near as dire as some fear.
At the outset, we need to acknowledge that Europe finds itself in the most serious crisis in a generation. Hundreds of thousands of refugees are pouring across open borders into Germany alone, a country smaller than Montana. And the combustible concentration of crowds of hundreds of single men in their twenties without any family ties has led to frightening attacks on women in Cologne and elsewhere. No wonder that many Germans are rethinking their original embracement of refugees and are fearful that things have spiraled out of control. And no wonder that some people in the U.S. who have watched those scenes on TV are anxious about what may happen here.
But the situation in the U.S. is literally worlds apart from what is going on in Europe.
After Klaus shares his concern for the continent he was born, he ends his op-ed without ever putting his own immigration history into context:
Finally, this letter would be incomplete if it did not remind my fellow Americans of our proud history of generosity and hospitality. This country was born of refugees fleeing persecution, and we have openly accepted wave upon wave of immigrants who have greatly contributed to our national wealth and to our magnificent cultural diversity, who have made us who we are today, still, in my opinion, the most exciting nation on earth.
Let us open our hearts and say, “Welcome!” to at least a handful of our fellow women and men whose lives have been cruelly torn away from them and who linger in desolation and destitution today.
Remember, this was 2016, the year Hillary Clinton ran for president. And who just shockingly claimed immigration has gone too far? That’s right, Hillary Clinton.

The speed at which Klaus von Stutterheim involved himself with Democratic politics in Big Sky Country is curious, but maybe this is just the kind of thing a retired banker born in Berlin likes to do.
I mean, it’s not like some Epstein connected power broker like Andrew Farkas was visiting Big Sky in 2010, right?

Who is Andrew Farkas and why was he hanging out in a tent in “Greenough” in August of 2010? Was this a Paws Up Ranch meeting like the one Elon Musk, Sam Altman, and Peter Thiel had last June?
For readers not familiar with Andrew Farkas’ Epstein connection, which I assume is most of you, here’s some context:
Andrew Farkas become a prominent figure in New York City commercial real estate in the 1990s. In 1990 Farkas founded Insignia Financial Group which he took public in 1993. In 1996 he purchased the brokerage firm Edward S. Gordon and Company. In 1998 he sold his portfolio of residential properties to AIMCO.
Farkas’ primary investment vehicle is Island Capital Group, set up as a merchant bank. The company had a subsidiary, Island Global Yachting (IGY), which developed and managed marinas. IGY’s first project was Yacht Haven Grande on Saint Thomas, U.S. Virgin Islands which began in 2001 and opened in 2007.
In 2007 Island Capital acquired the Montauk Yacht Club Resort and Marina in Montauk, New York. The property was sold in 2017 to George Filopolous.
In 2010 he acquired Centerline Holding Company, a major commercial real estate mortgage servicer.
And here’s the part from Farkas’ Wikipedia entry that highlights his connection to Epstein:
It came to light after Jeffrey Epstein’s second arrest that Epstein owned 50% of the American Yacht Harbour at Red Hook; the other half was owned by Farkas. The partnership came about in 2007 when Epstein was having financial, regulatory and legal problems.

In 2010, just a few months before Farkas visited this part of Montana, Klaus von Stutterheim was riding horses and writing about it just a few miles from where Farkas would be staying in a tent. Hmmm.

Before I get to the hilarious Missoula County Commissioners proclamation that awkwardly includes a reference to pizza, let’s see what Klaus thought about Missoula’s former Sheriff, T.J. McDermott, the guy at the helm when the Sheriff’s office euthanized Sean Stevenson.

It wasn’t just words that Klaus committed to his preferred candidates, like T.J. McDermott, it was money, which is publicly available information. That is how I was able to find this:

In addition to money from the von Stutterheim’s, I also found a donation from Susan Hay Patrick, the director of United Way of Missoula County and a recipient of Federal money through the Sheriff’s Office via Project Safe Neighborhood when she isn’t ignoring a fake anti-trafficking non-profit called the LifeGuard Group.
Here is Susan Hay Patrick’s donation to her favorite Sheriff:

And here is how Susan Hay Patrick spends Uncle Sam’s money from a U.S. Attorney’s Office press release:
“The Missoula County Sheriff’s Office looks forward to this partnership with the United Way to provide assistance through Missoula Substance Abuse Connect to those in our community who are dealing with addictions and substance abuse issues. I’d also like to thank United Way of Missoula CEO Susan Hay Patrick for her efforts on this project,” Missoula County Sheriff TJ McDermott said.
Missoula Substance Abuse Connect will be managed by United Way of Missoula County and a volunteer board of business and community leaders. The project director is Shannan Sproull, who is an authority on substance abuse prevention with decades of experience in the public and private sectors. The project chair is Janna Lundquist, a respected organizational consultant and former United Way board president with an extensive background in business and nonprofit leadership. Project leaders are recruiting an executive committee and working group from among the 40 public and private coalition member organizations.
PSN Missoula County’s partners include the U.S. Attorney’s Office; Missoula County Attorney’s Office; Montana Department of Justice’s Prosecution Services Bureau, Highway Patrol and Division of Criminal Investigation; the Montana Department of Correction’s Adult Probation and Parole Division; the Missoula Police Department; the Missoula County Sheriff’s Office; Alcohol, Tobacco, Firearms and Explosives; Drug Enforcement Administration; FBI, Homeland Security Investigations and the U.S. Marshal’s Service.
For more information about Missoula Substance Abuse Connect, contact Susan Hay Patrick, CEO, United Way of Missoula County, susan@MissoulaUnitedWay.org; 406-360-0596.
Getting back to Klaus von Stutterheim and the kind of people who appreciate him, I have to highlight Pete Talbot, son of John Talbot, the retired CIA agent who married into our local newspaper empire, Lee Enterprises, and the man who has a plaque inside the Journalism building on campus, where I make a point to throw away my trash in the trash can right below it.

Here’s Pete Talbot’s appreciation for the Berlin-born banker who loves horses, Democrats, and non-violent refugees who would never rape anyone:

What is well dissevered? Achieving the status of having local elected officials gush about conserving land, eating pizza, and opening Montana up like the legs of a two-bit whore for child-fucking, jerky-munching sociopaths.
Happy STUTTER-BUTTER DAY everyone!
