0:00.0	Welcome to JFK in The Enduring Secret. I'm your host, Jeff Crudell.
0:08.1	Hello, everyone, and welcome. Hello, everyone, and welcome back to the podcast.
0:24.2	Today's episode is episode 260 and of course it's a continuation of this entire series on Billy Solestis.
0:31.8	I hope you're enjoying what has turned out to be more of a wander than I originally thought it would be.
0:37.1	There's a lot of detail here, but as I promised in the very beginning,
0:40.8	we were going to do a job on Billy Soleste's like nobody else has done on a podcast.

1:47.1	the episode we've got a few more to go on billy solesties before we pivot so without further ado
1:53.2	let's listen to episode 260 of jfk the enduring secret JFK, The Enduring Secret.
2:21.2	According to the bank account statements of the Billy Sol Estes Enterprise, cash withdrawals increased from 1959 onwards.
2:27.4	Very often, sums in excess of half a million dollars were withdrawn by Billy Saw.
2:33.7	And usually, those withdrawals coincided with the day before trips to Washington. It was a cash frenzy that continued
