Jeffrey Epstein article

Hawking did love S&M, though.

And I ain't talking about sausage and mash!

Sue and Mel? Late Lunch?

Slattery & McShane?

[Captain Z]

Weinstein, Epstein, and now Einstein!

This doesn't look good for Frankenstein...

You kind of are, though.

Surely this was a fondness for the 1999 Metallica live album?

Gittes: How much are you worth?
Cross: I've no idea. How much do you want?
Gittes: I just want to know what you're worth. Over ten million?
Cross: Oh my, yes!
Gittes: Why are you doing it? How much better can you eat? What can you buy that you can't already afford?
Cross: The future, Mr. Gits - the future!

So Epstein has connection to some intelligence service then. Mossad? CIA?

Acosta fucked up but thinks he can keep his job. Keep digging in.  Make Trump's life hard. It will blow up in Acosta's face. We all know Trump hates hard work.

This says 2016, was it a separate legal case? And if so, what happened to it?

The plaintiff voluntarily dropped it. Whether that was because of threats to her and her family (according to that Guardian article) or because she was a drug-addled fantasist (according to this Daily Mail article) is anyone's guess.

Here's the full court submission if anyone's interested.

Acosta resigned.

[Ferris]

Acosta resigned.

Another venal careerist on the scrap heap

The resignation comes just two days after Mr. Acosta convened a news conference to defend his actions in the 2008 case when he was the United States attorney for the Southern District of Florida.

Resign or be sacked, I reckon. It's mad that he was able to defend this during his senate confirmation, but now there's a bit of press scrutiny it's curtains for him. Wtf were the senate doing

[Ferris]

"In spite of what I said in my senate confirmation hearing, and at the time to the press while cutting shady backroom deals with powerful wealthy people, and also 2 days ago when I convened a press conference specifically to defend myself and my actions, I realize now it was a terrible error and I must resign for it"

From today's Daily Mail Online, claiming an exclusive

Prince Andrew was a guest at  Jeffrey Epstein's home in December 2010, according to a party-goer
British royal was hosted by the convicted pedophile at his Manhattan mansion - just months after his release from prison
Shamed pedophile was jailed after pleading guilty to soliciting girls as young as 14 for sex in 2008
After serving a 13-month sentence Epstein invited the Duke of York to his New York home for four days in December 2010
During that time he hosted the intimate gathering with guests including Katie Couric, Chelsea Handler and George Stephanopolous
That month an embarrassing photo was taken showing Andrew and Epstein strolling in Central Park that made headlines around the world
Buckingham Palace today said Andrew has not seen Epstein since that photograph was taken

[BlodwynPig]

Jeff Epstein - harmless now

[Urinal Cake]

My guess is Dershowitz becomes a persona non grata now.

Clinton might get caught up. Prince Andrew has an ocean to protect him. Trump like I said before the cover-up rather than the original crime (perceived or actual) might do him in.

Dershowitz spent the last 4 years shamelessly defending trump, without regard to morals or his own previous statements which I always thought was odd. I suspected trump had the goods on him, perhaps that will be the case.

A Presidential Pardon is always handy until Trump doesn't need you. That being said due to his wealth and age I doubt Dershowitz will see any serious time in any serious jail. But he'll be a media, social an academic leper so that might count for something.

This is interesting on Epstein's "hedge fund" which nobody else in the industry had ever had any dealings with and which could well have been a blackmail scheme where in return for him not leaking the tapes of encounters at one of his parties people would invest in his fund with the blackmail money laundered as an investment service fee. More on how that could work in this Twitter thread.

I've worked in fund operations at a senior level in a previous life, and this is gubbins.

Well they don't know how fund allocators work, for one. If I was being charitable I'd say it was because the author spent their time with domestic mutual funds/LLCs, but deep down I know it's because they don't really know what they're on about.

I've always understood gubbins to mean gadgets or odds and ends, but I see it has its origins in fish scraps.  Bobbins, on the other hand, means rubbish.

Never mind. Assuming you don't mean that the article is stuff, why is it rubbish?

Acosta was actually the least insane Trump cabinet member in terms of policy. This is a bit of a Pyrrhic victory.

There are assumptions in there that don't make sense, or demonstrate a lack of experience/understanding with how investment funds work.
