YouTube Description

as posted by the channel

In October 2016, when a new book about Jeffrey Epstein came out, he bought 17 copies. A few months after that, he picked up six books about narcissism.

And in 2019, in Epstein’s last weeks of freedom, he made his final purchases for his Kindle: a guide to raising children, though he wasn’t known to have any, The Annotated Lolita and Nietzsche’s The Birth of Tragedy. Epstein has been one of the most scrutinized figures in contemporary America, and his crimes among the more notorious. Just this week, a congressional committee released a trove of documents from Epstein’s estate, which shows him saying President Donald Trump “knew about the girls” — a claim Trump has repeatedly denied — and hobnobbing with powerful figures from politics, academia and the media. Even so, much about Epstein’s life and success remains an enigma. But a separate cache of more than 18,000 emails obtained by Bloomberg News offers another window into the mind of a sex offender who federal officials say harmed as many as 1,000 people. Bloomberg News Senior Investigative Reporter Jason Leopold joins Bloomberg Businessweek Daily to discuss. He speaks with Carol Massar and Tim Stenovec.
