MOVIE KING STEVE BING KNEW TOO MUCH!
FEARS PERV EPSTEIN’S PAL GOT TOSSED FROM 27TH FLOOR IN MURDER STAGED AS SUICIDE
MOVIE producer Steve Bing’s tragic death came after his $600 million fortune was mysteriously drained and he told pals that he feared being marked for death, according to sources.
The 55-year-old
— who reportedly was closely connected to murdered pervert Jeffrey Epstein, Bill Clinton, Sylvester
Stallone and
Warren Beatty
— plunged to his demise from the 27th floor of his luxury
Los Angeles apartment building on June 22.
Authorities ruled the death a suicide, but sources told The National ENQUIRER the cashstrapped power player had gone to the FBI after allegedly becoming involved with shady businessmen linked to convicted pedophile Epstein — and pals feared he was actually murdered and the suicide scene was staged! “Steve Bing knew too much. Somebody helped him die — just like somebody ‘helped’ Epstein die,” said disgraced financier Steven Hoffenberg, who got an 18-year prison sentence for a Ponzi scheme he claimed was
masterminded with Epstein.
Hoffenberg told The ENQUIRER, “It’s suicide — BUT an assisted suicide. Somebody murdered him.”
Steve broke into
Hollywood in the ’80s after inheriting a fortune from his real estate developer grandfather Leo S. Bing. He founded Shangri-La Entertainment, produced Stallone’s 2000 film “Get Carter,” invested in the 2004 animated flick “The Polar
Express” starring
Tom Hanks, and co-wrote the 2003
comedy “Kangaroo Jack.” He also gave at least
$10 million to the Clinton Foundation. The ex-president, who has been linked to the Epstein sex scandal and denies any involvement, praised Bing, saying:
“He had a big heart, and he was willing to do anything he could for the people and causes he believed in.”
It’s unknown how Steve hooked up with Epstein, but his ex, model Elizabeth Hurley — the mother of his 18-yearold son, Damian — is listed in the twisted billionaire’s infamous phone book.
Epstein partied with the world’s rich and famous, including Britain’s
Prince Andrew, and is said to have videotaped the wild orgies at his homes in Florida,
New York, New Mexico and the Virgin Islands. Insiders close to
Hollywood’s seamy underbelly said Steve was known for his sexual kinks, which could have drawn him further into Epstein’s sleazy world — and emptied his bank account. “There’s a group of ruthless guys, these shady Europeans who lost a s---load of money when Epstein died,” spilled a source.
“They control a lot of the drugs and models in Hollywood. They trade in the same business as Epstein — videotapes and blackmail
— and they used his contact book.
“Steve was generous and it’s the sort of trap he could easily have fallen into.”
Sources at his apartment building claimed several blacked-out
SUVs entered the property in recent weeks and a number of well-dressed strangers had been
spotted smoking and talking in foreign accents in front of the building. Although Steve had a reputation as fun-loving and a partier, sources claimed he was horrified to learn Epstein had been charged with sex trafficking underage girls — and it pushed him to approach the FBI and apparently spill his guts. “I know Steve wasn’t involved in underage sex stuff,” a source told The ENQUIRER. “That abuse of power affected Steve. He was really upset about it.”
According to insiders, Steve had been acting erratically and seemed upset in recent months, and before isolating due to COVID-19 he’s thought to have confided his worries to powerful pals in a series of closeddoor meetings.
Steve did have a drug problem and was struggling financially after an investment in Warren Beatty’s 2016 Howard Hughes movie, “Rules Don’t Apply,” insiders said.
In yet another setback, he was hit hard by the accidental overdose death of his 28-year-old girlfriend, Allexanne Mitchum — the great granddaughter of film icon Robert Mitchum — in July 2019, sources said.
“The anniversary of her death, being alone and his depression … I can see him just making a decision to end his life,” said a source. But other insiders see a more sinister reason for the tragedy.
With friends and loved ones grieving over Steve’s tragic end, his ex Elizabeth and Damian are desperate to uncover the truth about his final days.
“There are so many unanswered questions,” said a source.
Insiders said pals are urging Elizabeth, 55, to set up an independent autopsy, especially after a forensic pathologist hired
by Epstein’s brother found his death in a New York federal prison cell last year was more in line with
“homicidal strangulation” than the official ruling of suicide. “People closer to Steve would surely have more clues about his downward spiral,” said an insider. “Something’s not right.”
Bill Clinton, Warren Beatty, Sylvester Stallone, Liz Hurley and associates of Steve Bing did not respond to requests for comment.
