- Newly released emails show Jeffrey Epstein attended exclusive dinners with Silicon Valley billionaires like Elon Musk, Jeff Bezos, and Bill Gates even after his conviction for sex crimes.
- Epstein was a major funder of the Edge network, contributing $638,000 from 2001 to 2015, and attended events organized by literary agent John Brockman.
- Despite his 2008 conviction, Epstein maintained connections with tech elites, attending private dinners and workshops, with his presence often kept secret.
- Epstein's assistant confirmed his attendance at a 2014 dinner in Vancouver, but his participation was not publicized on Edge's website.
- In 2015, Epstein declined an invitation to a Toronto dinner, citing plans to be in Santa Fe with Noam Chomsky.
- Brockman continued to involve Epstein in events and networking, even as Epstein's scandal re-emerged in 2015 with allegations involving Prince Andrew.
- Epstein's connections extended to influential figures like physicist Lawrence Krauss and AI researcher Eliezer Yudkowsky.
- In 2018, Brockman referenced Epstein's ties to a Middle Eastern investor, possibly linked to Saudi Crown Prince Mohammed bin Salman.
