To be clear, a name appearing in the Epstein files does not mean that person has committed any kind of crime; a reference often means only that Epstein or an associate was talking about that person rather than directly to them, or shared a news article or press release with their name in it. Some material also appears to be unvetted tips that members of the public provided to investigators. Even so, the files reveal just how intertwined Epstein’s network was with the tech industry—even years after his 2008 guilty plea for solicitation of prostitution and of procurement of minors to engage in prostitution.
