@Tim said in Jeffrey Epstein:
Very funny that Chomsky, who made a career out of apologizing for Pol Pot and every communist dictator, had been hanging out with Epstein, telling the press that "in America a man served his time and his slate is cleaned", and also had a $270k transaction from him.
Hope that swapping notes with Woody was worth it.
He really is just a ridiculously pompous old tankie . A lot of people I respect like Matt Taibbi beclown themselves treating him like some sort of god. I’d imagine they are tying themselves in knots over this.
If you didn’t already have enough contempt for him reading him trying to dodge questions about his genocide denial when George Monbiot asked him about it should really seal the deal .

Jeffrey Epstein claimed to have set up meetings with senior UK ministers
A 22-page report by the bank, compiled following the arrest of its former client in 2019 and seen by the Financial Times, details how Epstein offered to connect Staley with UK chancellor at the time Alistair Darling and Peter Mandelson, former business secretary and de facto deputy prime minister.
In January 2010, just months after he was released from jail having served a sentence for sex crimes, Epstein wrote to Staley: “I’ve set up you and peter to meet in davos with darling,” a reference to the World Economic Forum that was taking place in Switzerland.
A few days later, Staley wrote to Epstein that he saw “Peter last night. Darling in 20 minutes. Will talk again with Peter this AM.”
Darling said he had no recollection of meeting Staley, then a senior executive at JPMorgan, and did not have any dealings with Epstein. “Why would I?” he asked.
An ensuing exchange recounted in the report suggests that Staley was interested in the pending sale of the non-North American units of Sempra Commodities by Royal Bank of Scotland, which was forced to divest the unit following a UK government bailout. Months later, JPMorgan bought the business for $1.7bn.
Darling said that any meeting on government business would have been attended by civil servants and that the Treasury was not involved in the running of RBS.
A person close to Mandelson said he met Staley at Davos to discuss the banking crisis but that Epstein “certainly” did not arrange the meeting.

@Victor-Meldrew Mandelson always seemed like a creep, to say the least.

Trust Darling but not the slimeball that is Mandelson
Why ever not..?

Is that his Grindr pic? Abuse of a perfectly good rose.

Leon Black, the billionaire financier, reached a settlement with the government of the US Virgin Islands to resolve potential legal claims arising from his business relationship with late sex offender Jeffrey Epstein.
The settlement called for the Apollo Global Management founder to pay $62.5mn to the island territory, a person familiar with the situation said.
Black stepped down as chief executive of Apollo in 2021 after lawyers hired by the private equity firm concluded that he had paid $158mn to Epstein for tax advice, help with buying artwork, and other professional services.

Opening sentence in the Miami Herald
Billionaire hedge fund founder Leon Black has been accused of beating and raping a 16-year-old girl with a rare genetic disorder
I've heard of beating the gay out of you, but beating the autism into you?
Does anyone check what goes to print these says?

@Frank Try archive.ph in future.
A dodgy databroker firm tracked cellphones that visited Epstein's island between 2016 and 2019. They also tracked the phones to some multi-million dollar homes across the USA.
Probably tracked victims too:
While many of the coordinates captured by Near point to multimillion-dollar homes in numerous US states, others point to lower-income areas where Epstein victims are known to have lived and attended school, including areas of West Palm Beach, Florida, where police and a private investigator say they located around 40 of Epstein’s victims.
