There actually was a lot of Epstein news that dropped last night (presumably with the idea that the Democrat debates would drown it out):

1. This Harvard statement. "Money's gone, too bad".

2. MIT President Rafael Reif admitted to signing an Epstein thank you note and attending a meeting discussing Epstein's contributions. He also threw his whole staff under the bus.

3. Reid Hoffman admitted to arranging meetings with Epstein on Joi Ito's request. He shockingly threw Ito and unshockingly MIT under the bus.

This submission is now [flagged]. There's no flame war going on in here to sink it so not sure why it would be removed.

You seem up to date, has anyone figured out where Epstien got all the money from yet?

Here's a good article: http://nymag.com/intelligencer/2019/07/hedge-funders-have-so...

>Oddly, Epstein also claimed to do all the investing by himself while his 150 employees all worked in the back office — which Kass says reminds him of Madoff’s cover story. Though it now appears that Epstein had many fewer employees than he claimed

What was almost certainly happening was that his hedge fund was a front for blackmailing people (after they had sex with his underage sex slaves).

It's also interesting to note that his client list has still somehow not leaked. Everyone on there is probably a (wealthy/powerful) pedo.

No, it's still a mystery. Right before he died, he moved it all into a trust and named Bill Gate's advisor as his executor:

Gates himself has a lot to answer for. The MIT emails show Epstein funneling $2M from Gates to Media Lab. He also flew on Epstein's jet to Florida and hasn't answered why.

I've seen posts claiming that he was an intelligence asset for either the CIA or Mossad. I didn't see any proof, so take it with a grain of salt.

Forget the money. What’s up with the freaky temple on his island?
