Deutsche Bank settlement with victims. I hate shit like this, “The tentative settlement closes another chapter in Deutsche Bank’s relationship with Mr. Epstein, which began in 2013 and continued up until late 2018.” Yeah, looks like this is all wrapping up, nice and tidy. Close that chapter, wipe those hands, and move on.
What is this about?
Boris Nikolic, a Gates confidant and top science adviser at the time, who also knew Epstein, introduced Antonova to Epstein to help her raise the funds, the documents show.
Nikolic said when he first met Epstein, it was in his capacity as Gates’s scientific adviser and they discussed philanthropic proposals. “I deeply regret that I ever met Epstein,” Nikolic said. “His crimes were despicable. I never saw anything like his illegal behavior. My heart goes out to his victims and their families.”
Later:
Days before he died in 2019, Epstein changed his will and named Nikolic as a backup executor. Nikolic said Epstein didn’t discuss the idea with him beforehand, and that he subsequently declined to serve.
“He couldn’t have listed Bill because that would have been too obvious, so he chose me,” he said. “I have come to believe it was likely a retaliatory move against Bill Gates.”
i too like to retaliate by giving control of my finances to a tangential associate of a person that may or may not have caused me annoyance. very likely probability

Nothing sexy in here if you could call it that. Just the mundane of a rich guy denied parole and looking at getting convicted and and an institution that was piss poor
Epstein killed himself.

The documents also provide a fresh window into Epstein’s behavior during his 36 days in jail, including his previously unreported attempt to connect by mail with another high-profile pedophile: Larry Nassar, the U.S. gymnastics team doctor convicted of sexually abusing scores of athletes.
Wut
This guy did not kill himself

$290 million!? How fucking bad was discovery!
only ‘bout 35.0% of dominion settlement

I assumed this was just a fishing expedition lawsuit. Guess not. No one settles for $300M unless there is some very bad stuff. Cost of a vigorous defense by a large biglaw legal team wouldn’t run more than $15-20M.
Well I think that about wraps this story up.
I guess I’ll have to read the actual report because summary articles like this have nothing new. “Bureau of Prisons failed all over the place, but we’re positive he killed himself” essentially. It could just be me but I’ve been getting big “move on, it’s over” vibes from recent Epstein stories.
I guess WSJ released a new photo showing Bill Gates with one of the accusers.
My pony might be two years old but absolute LOL at Gates’s answer in this PBS interview: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=LNAwUxZ5nfw&ab_channel=PBSNewsHour

YIKES.
Idk if it makes Gates look better or worse, but Elon said he is categorically insane and an asshole to the core.

Oh boy, I wonder if there are any real surprises on the list.
How soon until this somehow gets stopped because of some LOL LAW bullshit?
