    There’s probably quite a few famous people in the Epstien files who were just paid to make an appearance or speech or similar at an event before he was infamous…

      Yeah, the guy had a real fetish for surrounding himself with smart people, especially considering he was (based on the evidence in the files that have been released so far) a remarkably dumb person.

        It’s as if a well-connected person knows/communicates with a lot people. Weird to call social networking a fetish.

      He wanted to play music with his band at my family business. We have a capacity for only 60 people or something small like that. He was so full of himself, he was offended we said no. He wanted to bring in 100 people, causing us to break the law and safety of our guests. Then I think he called us foolish or dumb or something. I forget because it’s been about 20 years or so. I couldn’t believe it.
