"One of the most infamous exchanges between Epstein and Thiel occurred when Britain seceded from the European Union. Epstein predicted that Brexit is 'just the beginning' of a vulture-capitalist dystopia."
"You and I both agreed zero interest rates were too high, and as I said in your office, finding things on their way to collapse was much easier than finding the next bargain."
"As it turns out, Epstein was right. And Thiel, who's bankrolled JD Vance's political career and whose mass surveillance company holds billions of dollars in Pentagon contracts, is right in the center of it."
Peter Thiel maintained a close relationship with Jeffrey Epstein, exchanging over 2,000 messages and meeting multiple times. Their correspondence illustrates a partnership rooted in shared nihilism. Epstein's prediction of Brexit as the start of a vulture-capitalist dystopia highlights their alignment. Thiel's involvement in politics and mass surveillance further connects him to Epstein's controversial legacy. Despite claims of ignorance from others, Thiel's knowledge of Epstein's actions raises questions about his complicity in the financier's alleged crimes.
