Book excerpt on Epstein's Palm Beach case and mysterious wealth

A published book excerpt describing the author's questions about Epstein's crimes, light jail sentence, unexplained wealth, and powerful friendsMachine-written summary

“I HAD BEEN HEARING HAIR-RAISING STORIES about Jeffrey Epstein for a couple of years. Our interests could not have been more different, but Palm Beach, where we both live, is small and tightly knit, and we knew some of the same people. So I had followed Epstein’s case in the media and talked about it over dinners with friends. I wondered why it had taken so long for the Palm Beach police to catch up with Epstein. And, once they did, why he had served so little jail time. Those were the obvious questions, but there were others: How had Epstein made his money, possibly billions? No one seemed to know. Epstein had powerful friends. Were his connections the reason that Epstein was now a free man? I wanted to know.” ISBN 978-0-316-27405-0 EAN 9 780316 274050 52800 > HOUSE_OVERSIGHT_009370
