HOW I KNEW EPSTEIN WAS A FRAUD
A mathematician friend of mine was told by Epstein in 2004 that he made his money as a "mathematical option trader". My friend was impressed as Epstein had the largest mansion in Manhattan.
My option friends found no trace of him in the option markets; in the pre-electronic days it was impossible to have a size position w/o being traced (he needed size to make this kind of money). So I knew at 100% there was a scam.
Later was told that he was a "money manager". Again no footprint in the investment world. And supposedly his minimum size was 1 Bn. Impossible.
Epstein tried at several occasions to meet with me through two different people, after he served some jail time. I told them to tell him to fuck off.
So my only contact with him is through his reading of my books.

@AmerAssaleh There is more. Aside from the invitations to parties, Epstein tried & failed to meet me in his mansion in Feb 2015.
