Mr Epstein is also a great philantropist and has given enormous sums for science, research and education. The Epstein Foundation is based in New York City ánd in St Thomas (the US Virgin Islands). Many Nobel Laureates, and many of the world's most eminent scientists have visited Mr Epstein. As he is also a big name in the fight against AIDS, in finding medication to cure hiv, to study molecular biology and the evolution of human cancer cells and viruses, etc. These "good causes" are also the reason why Mr Epstein is in the focus of high-profiled people, like former presidents and royals. Many of the UK's renowned scientific research institutes are working with and/or thanks to Epstein's involvement. The Duke of York, a trade ambassador for the UK, of course promotes this sort of developments on the highest level of innovation, research and development.
Thank you, Duc_et_Pair. Good context. The philanthropists are the real power-brokers, the ones channeling their wealth to worthy causes (those charities started up by young princes ). Also explains Ghislaine Maxwell. I know her from her work with the oceans.
Seems like Epstein was providing 'benefits' for those who wanted such.
True, but I don't think the explanation about his financing was to excuse his actions. Just shed some light on other reasons famous people was hanging out with him.
Exactly so. That's what I was getting. It's a story that I noticed initially but only in passing. Like most, I just passed over it and left it behind. Now that it's starting to gain legs, I am starting to see the issues afoot. Pretty seamy, and my guess is that there are few in certain rarefied circles who are not being touched by it, if only by association with Epstein. A bit like Bernie Madhoff who everyone knew.
