"My first thought about Barak's appearance was: Larry Summers must be spitting. Summers, the former president of Harvard and another Epstein associate, was very much not on stage at the DealBook Summit, nor is he anywhere else in polite society right now. One can only imagine how bitter he must be feeling about the variance in fortunes of the men and occasional woman with known connections to Epstein."
"Of this list, two are dead (Marvin Minsky and Jean-Luc Brunel), one is in jail (Ghislaine Maxwell) and one has lost his house, his title and his invitation to the family Christmas (Andrew Mountbatten-Windsor). But for the rest of the prominent associates, email correspondents, birthday-card signatories, grant recipients and dinner companions of the late convicted paedophile all of whom insist that, while in Epstein's orbit, they remained in total ignorance as to the man's true nature the cancellation fairy's aim has been predictably inconsistent"
DealBook Summit in New York featured public talks billed as conversations with consequential figures and included a starry lineup of guests. Ehud Barak, former Israeli prime minister and former associate of Jeffrey Epstein, drew attention at the conference. Larry Summers, another Epstein associate and former Harvard president, was absent from the event and from polite society. The fortunes of people connected to Epstein have varied dramatically: two are dead, one is jailed, one has been publicly disgraced. Many prominent associates, correspondents and companions insist they were ignorant of Epstein's true nature while in his orbit. Consequences for those associates have been predictably inconsistent.
