According to James B. Stewart, Epstein said that he kept blackmail on powerful acquaintances, and thought criminalizing sex with teenagers was a 'cultural aberration'
Photo: Rick Friedman/Corbis via Getty Images There is a common thread in the conjecture surrounding all the terrifying detritus in Jeffrey Epstein’s mansion: Did he have compromising tapes on some members of the elite circle he ran in? Blackmail is a common theory for how the financier mysteriously accrued an estimated $500 million without having much of a paper trail.
Though Epstein was “reticent” to discuss Tesla, he was “more at ease discussing his interest in young women,” and forwarding dicey, if not anti-LBGT, false equivalencies: It was then that Stewart says Epstein began discussing how he observed “prominent tech figures taking drugs and arranging for sex.” Stewart added: “The overriding impression I took away from our roughly 90-minute conversation was that Mr. Epstein knew an astonishing number of rich, famous and powerful people, and had photos to prove it.”I kept trying to steer the conversation back to Tesla, but Mr. Epstein remained evasive.
