Crazy how he manipulated people into fucking kids like that.
YSK that Jeffrey Epstein wasn't just a sex criminal. He was a world class manipulator. He knew how to play a fundamentally rotten business culture better than anyone in New York

It’s probably easier than you think. First you find billionaires. That’s it.

Yeah this piece smells like calculated revisionism. Clearly well-researched, but amazingly (!) distances him from all the right players, and does its best to waft away any Israeli connection as purely incidental.

Looks like he also was a Mossad agent

very cool writeup. I’ve tried on a couple occasions to get a grip on how fucko made all that money. and every time, including wikipedia, it was like met some folks, bear sterns, clients, consulting, insulting, yadda, yadda, he a billionaire… like holup, I’m doing some tallying here, what was the middle part…?
way easier to grasp when a) it ain’t actually tres comas, let alone a multiple of that and b) it’s just a series of grifts, swindles, and embezzlements of one not really that savvy confidence man.

I don’t like this title one bit nor the angle this story is using.
Because it turns his own clients and partners into his victims.

Also because its become exceedingly clear the guy was a bumbling dumbass who made it by luck. Some people out there would really like you to believe we live in a meritocracy.

We still don’t know his true clients (people he worked for). These guys were just his marks.
We had a similar guy where I come from. He was actively seeking connections with politicians and businessmen, acting as their friend, while recording every online and offline conversation to be used for extortion in the future.
He, and the prostitute he was hiring to do his bidding, made the mistake of getting directly involved in the murder of a journalist, so she ended up in prison for 25 years, and I haven’t heard anything about him ever since.
