Jeffrey Epstein thread

[G-Man]

He acts like a man who knows that he has the privilege of impunity.

[Eggchaser]

It's a good thing he didn't eat any avocados.

These allegations (as yet unproven) sound sickeningly familiar

And yes, a certain "senior royal" has been photographed with this guy too.

[NHH]

To know one person who engaged in systematic sex abuse of minors is unfortunate etc

[WOM]

Ah, it's finally broken the surface. This thing has been bubbling just under it for years and years. Every time we walk by the Nygard store and pass his smiling, years-old picture, I go 'Creepy Fucking Peter' and then inform my wife of the latest. It's usually just a dispute with his Bahamian neighbour over something that horrible old billionaires do to one another. The latest was him dodging a trial by making out that he was too sick to travel. The series of photos supplied to the press were comically bad. Most stories refer to debaucherous house parties with dozens...if not hundreds...of 'very young' women. His Bahamas mansion is really worth a googling.

[WOM]

If billionaires behaving badly is your thing, you could do worse than reading up on the mutually-assured-destruction feud between Perlmutter and Peerenboom over....wait for it....a tennis instructor.

The Times with a deep dive into Nygard that ran on Page One above the fold in today:s print edition

The Times has been really good this weekend. Nygard, the French Ponzi / Fraud, Corona coverage and even someone in their 40s looking to spend $2000 tops to rent an apartment.

It's odd that Louis Mountbatten's colourful sex life has come up at this time. The thing is the idea that Mountbatten was into boys isn't a surprise if you listen to your IRA propaganda. The story doing the rounds after his assassination was that Mountbatten was a child abuser, and later that he was involved in the kincora boys home scandal.

If it was a wild smear in the dark, the US government seem to have come to similar conclusions themselves.

this appears to be the only thread which has the word Kincora

so ai guess this is the place for this odditty

Apparently 'dozens' of women have join the Creepy Pete class action lawsuit.

46 plaintiffs and counting

I hadn't realised that the Group has gone into administration. There is still a.good chance he dies a natural death, alas.

[WOM]

Hah...neither had I. That was quiet. I knew that other retailers were dropping the brand, but the standalone stores are all we see around here. (They tend not to be busy).

[caja-dglh]

He will blame the 'Rona. Everyone can hide doing a bad job of running a business on the 'Rona right now. Easier than introspection.

[Incandenza]

Thoughts and prayers out to Donald Trump, Michael Bloomberg, and Chelsea Clinton at the news of the arrest of their friend Ghislaine Maxwell.

Have to wonder if this was pushed along by the prosecutor in the NY office that Trump wanted gone.

[ursus arctos]

The timing is indeed intriguing.

It could also be seen as a Wag the Dog moment.

[WOM]

This is absolutely glorious. Let's hope she's not left alone in an unmonitored cell with malfunctioning cameras and a slack-ass team of guards anytime soon. The poor thing.

[Incandenza]

Yes, I would hope that all newspapers have their obituaries for her prepared already.

[WOM]

I wonder if a certain litigious lawyer burped his breakfast a bit funny this morning. Great editing work on the Netflix doc when he dares DARES! Giuffre to accuse him and three seconds later she does just that in no uncertain terms.

[Eggchaser]

Pizza Express is trending on Twitter...

[Gangster Octopus]

In a positive way, I hope.

[Etienne]

Nicked from twitter : if Pizza Express is folding, they could call it Calzone Express.

Excellent news that Maxwell has been arrested.

Beautiful.

Did anyone besides me watch the Netflix docuseries?
