The Manhattan Mansion Meeting
One of the most striking disclosures involves a meeting inside Epstein’s Manhattan residence.
Attendees included:
-
Brock Pierce — early Bitcoin investor, later co-founder of Tether
-
Larry Summers — former U.S. Treasury Secretary
-
Jeffrey Epstein
This was years before Bitcoin went mainstream.
Emails show Summers acknowledged Bitcoin’s “opportunities,” while expressing concern about reputational risk if prices collapsed.
This was not fringe speculation.
This was elite early-stage evaluation.
Steve Bannon and Crypto Strategy
In 2018, Epstein emailed Steve Bannon with pointed questions:
-
How are crypto taxes handled?
-
How can coins be received and distributed?
-
Can crypto bypass campaign finance rules?
Bannon replied: “On it.”
He connected Epstein with:
-
FEC specialists
-
Crypto veterans
-
Regulatory insiders
This wasn’t curiosity.
This was operational interest.
Epstein Was Studying Crypto—Actively
Amazon logs show Epstein purchased books on:
-
Bitcoin
-
Ethereum
-
Blockchain governance
-
Negotiation strategy
This occurred in 2017, while he was actively rebuilding elite networks post-conviction.
He wasn’t late to crypto.
He wasn’t ignorant of it.
He was positioning.
