#FollowTheMoney 🧵 87/n This just made me laugh, and is also interesting! #Epstein himself organising seminars on power and money!

Reminded me of Michael Gove having a statue of Gramsci in his office and using Gramsci: it’s not instinctive how these people create and maintain power and money: they think and read about and apply insights systematically and strategically.

We on the left can learn a lot from this, frankly.

Sex and snacks, but no seat at the table: the role of women in Epstein’s sordid men’s club

Files reveal a world of flattery and fratboy tones, where rich men are cultivated and women provide services
Extract from this article. Highlighted in yellow: seminars on power and money

When Epstein decides on a whim on a
Saturday evening in 2012 that he wants to
organise two seminars, one on power, and one
on money, he emails Groff with a list of 20
men he thinks should attend: Jeff Bezos, Jes
Staley, Bill Clinton, Peter Thiel, Gates etc (it
seems no women are going to participate in
the power and money seminars). Groff is
unflustered by the request to start scheduling
invitations to tech billionaires and some of the
world's most powerful men, and sends a
chirpy reply: "Great. I will keep track."
