https://www.nytimes.com/2019/07/12/nyregion/epstein-witness-tampering.html?smid=nytcore-ios-share"Jeffrey Epstein, the financier facing sex-trafficking charges in New York, was accused of witness tampering on Friday by federal prosecutors, who said he wired $350,000 to two people who were potential witnesses against him.
Mr. Epstein sent the money to the potential witnesses in late November and early December, 2018, shortly after the Miami Herald published an investigative report about a secret deal he had reached with the authorities in Florida to avoid federal prosecution, prosecutors said.
The United States attorneys office in Manhattan made the new allegations in a court filing asking that Mr. Epstein be denied bail while he awaits trial, saying the payments were evidence that he might try to influence witnesses if he were not detained.
.....
The prosecutors said Mr. Epstein wired $250,000 to one of his employees and $100,000 to a second person. Both were identified in the governments memorandum as possible co-conspirators.
The payments and their timing, the prosecutors wrote, suggests Mr. Epstein was trying to influence co-conspirators who might provide information against him in light of the allegations in the Miami Herald series." .......(more)

One wonders what he might have to offer in a deal? And about whom?

(51,627 posts)I read that some states castrate serious child sex offenders. I wonder what Epstein would pick given a choice...be released on bail with castration or be denied bail and remain "as is".
