Who exactly did Epstein trade emails with?

So were these business or monkey business? In the case of Larry Summers, the appearance of impropriety did a real number of his career and stature in the business and political community.

Great to see even a far left socialist douche bag like Chomsky was in the thick of it. Did I mention he is a sick hypocrite?

With the most recent Epstein release, the Economist collaborated with the folks who work on Jmail to breakdown the many pages of email between Epstein and others.

He did not waste time on middle managers. A quarter of his top non-staff contacts have a Wikipedia page. He traded emails with at least 18 current or former billionaires, including Peter Thiel and Elon Musk; celebrities like Woody Allen and Deepak Chopra; and political figures such as Ehud Barak, a former Israeli prime minister. Most back-and-forths were balanced, with similar numbers of emails sent and received; an exception was Bill Gates, whom Epstein bombarded despite few responses. (Mr Gates was happy to meet Epstein on a number of occasions, however.)

Most of the email was with staff and business partners. To find the more troublesome threads, a large language model was used to score emails with an “alarm index.” Although the strip plot above focuses on volume over content.
