It is no secret that the world was shocked when news broke of convicted pedophile and alleged sex trafficker, Jeffrey Epstein’s list of connections.
It appears as though Epstein had a network of powerful people in his life.
Now, New York Magazine has compiled a list of high-profile individuals known to have met with Epstein who do not appear in the infamous “little black book”.
From politicians to business owners, the list of those associated with him continues to grow as new revelations come forth.
The list of names includes the following:
- Apollo Global Management co-founder Leon Black
- Bard College president Leon Botstein
- Google co-founder Sergey Brin
- CIA Director William Burns
- Professor Noam Chomsky, whose meetings with Epstein included a dinner with director Woody Allen and his wife, Soon-Yi Previn
- Former U.S. Virgin Islands first lady Cecile de Jongh, who is accused of helping Epstein get visas for his alleged victims
- Bill Gates, whose ties to Epstein have been well known for years
- FedEx board member Joshua Cooper Ramo
- Former diplomat Terje Rød-Larsen
- Edmond de Rothschild Group chairwoman Ariane de Rothschild
- Goldman Sachs general counsel Kathryn Ruemmler
- JPMorgan executive Jes Staley
- Former Treasury Secretary Lawrence Summers
- PayPal co-founder Peter Thiel
Epstein was very well connected throughout his life; on one day alone, September 8th 2014, he had scheduled meetings with various powerful people including Bill Gates, Henry Kissinger, Kathryn Ruemmler and Leon Botstein.
It appears that he had thousands of pages of emails and schedules from 2013 to 2017 documenting these connections.
Several of those named in the documents have given statements to the Wall Street Journal such as CIA Director William Burns who said he did not know anything about Epstein or have any relationship with him.
Others like Larry Summers expressed regret for being associated with him after his 2008 conviction while Ehud Barak acknowledged meeting with him but denied anything improper occurring during their encounters.
Ariane de Rothschild’s Edmond de Rothschild Group initially claimed she had no connection but later admitted this was inaccurate although they insisted she was unaware of any questions regarding his personal conduct when they met.
Finally Noam Chomsky simply stated that it was none of anyone’s business that he knew Epstein even though it was well known at the time that he had served a sentence for a crime committed prior to their association.
