Key Figures Continued Contact Despite Epstein’s Conviction
the staff of the Ridgewood blog
Ridgewood NJ, in response to the protests, Elon Musk has pointed fingers at billionaires George Soros, Reid Hoffman, and organizations like ActBlue. Reid Hoffman has often been pointed too as a key figure in the Jeffrey Epstein saga.
Uncovered emails and schedules from Jeffrey Epstein—obtained by the Wall Street Journal—reveal that numerous high-profile figures in business, politics, and entertainment maintained close ties with Epstein long after his conviction as a registered sex offender.
Who Continued to Meet with Epstein?
🔹 Larry Summers – The former Harvard president and U.S. Treasury secretary met with Epstein more than a dozen times between 2013 and 2016, even after Harvard cut ties with Epstein following his 2008 guilty plea. Though Summers denied personally receiving funds from Epstein, the documents reveal that Epstein provided financial support to his wife’s nonprofit.
🔹 Woody Allen – The filmmaker, previously known to be “friendly” with Epstein, met with him almost monthly in 2014 and 2015. He reportedly had dozens of dinners at Epstein’s home, though a spokesperson claimed he never met Epstein alone—his wife was always present.
🔹 Terje Rød-Larsen – The Norwegian diplomat was a frequent guest at Epstein’s New York townhouse from 2013 to 2017, with staff even keeping cucumbers on hand for his gin. He resigned from his position at the International Peace Institute in 2020 when his Epstein ties became public.
🔹 Reid Hoffman – The LinkedIn co-founder previously downplayed his connections to Epstein, saying he only met him to raise funds for MIT. However, the documents indicate Epstein planned for Hoffman to visit his private island twice, and he was scheduled to stay at Epstein’s townhouse and attend a breakfast party. Hoffman later admitted he had visited Epstein’s island once and expressed regret for his “personal misjudgment.”
🔹 Leon Black – The billionaire co-founder of Apollo Global Management, who has faced accusations of sexual assault at Epstein’s estate, scheduled over 100 meetings with Epstein from 2013 to 2017. He declined to comment on the new revelations.
Background: Epstein’s Ties to Power and Influence
Jeffrey Epstein was indicted in 2019 on federal sex trafficking charges but was found dead in his jail cell before facing trial. He had long been associated with influential figures in finance, technology, and politics, including Prince Andrew, Bill Gates, Bill Clinton, Donald Trump, Alan Dershowitz, and more.
His 2007 federal sex crimes case, which resulted in a controversial plea deal, required him to register as a sex offender but allowed him to serve only 13 months in a Florida jail under work-release conditions. Many have since questioned why so many powerful figures continued their relationships with Epstein despite his criminal record.
What These Documents Reveal
The latest batch of documents from 2013-2017 provides further insight into Epstein’s ongoing connections and the willingness of elite figures to engage with him despite his past convictions. The Wall Street Journal previously reported that Epstein had also met with the CIA director, Goldman Sachs’ top lawyer, Noam Chomsky, and executives from the Edmond de Rothschild Group, among others.
While the exact purpose of many meetings remains unclear, those involved often claimed they met Epstein for networking or financial reasons. However, these revelations raise further questions about how Epstein maintained his influence for so long—and why some of the world’s most powerful people continued to associate with him.
Attorney General Pamela Bondi, in conjunction with the Federal Bureau of Investigation (FBI), declassified and publicly released files related to convicted sex offender Jeffrey Epstein and his sexual exploitation of over 250 underage girls at his homes in New York and Florida, among other locations. The first phase of declassified files largely contains documents that have been previously leaked but never released in a formal capacity by the U.S. Government.

libs love pedophilias!
blog trolls get bonners over this guy
I dislike Reid as much as the next guy but if he ate breakfast with Epstein doesn’t make him a pedo etc. You need more proof for that. So far pam Bondi looks completely our of depth for this job, a disappointment. And I am not sure about Kash Patel either. Very little news coming out of him.
Also, where is Tulsi Gabbard regarding what’s going in syria with the thousands of Christians being slaughtered? Not a peep from anyone in the administration. Fishy.
Pam Bondi is definitely not out of her depth. She has to manage her time dealing with the sudden mountain of potential cases. Some of incredibly serious while this Epstein stuff isn’t. The public wants the dirt on this one but it has to be balanced with far more pressing matters.
big question why did everyone want to be associated with this man
Have you read ANYTHING about this pedo?
Well, not to point out the obvious but …
Mostly unattractive, and rich, left-wing activists looking for some action. What a bunch of sad misfits.
Trump for People. Clintons Bushes Obamas Bidens for Big Govt. Our families fought and died for this land and our freedom and way of life. This country is for the people not the money changers or the crooks in congress, blackrock, or anybody else. This is our country. Trump 2024. Lets get it again.
If *face palm* was a comment.
Trump is only for the rich. It’s all about the money and nothing more. Let’s see what happens with the gutting of federal agencies, tarrifs, etc. Hopefully we won’t head into a recession. If so, voters may feel buyer’s remorse…… By the way, let’s stop with the Tesla ads on the White House grounds while we’re at it.
Oh don’t worry, we are already in a recession from the out of control spending under the O’Biden admin. And you probably dont need to worry. Your probably a homeowner and good. I’m a renter and I dont have a vehicle to get to a from work and make 39,000 a year full time after taxes and dont own anything. WHo do you think a recession will hurt more you or me? Now the democrats complain about the economy after the 4 years of destruction and tens of trillion of dollars of spending. It funny to me how triggered yall get over elon musk and the orange man. Get used to it cause we have 4 more years.
“Don’t find words to make yourself feel better. So, we hang around people that make us feel better. That tell us what we want to hear, not what we need to hear. And so we stay away from these people. Like our internal dialogue becomes that kind, its okay. Its not okay. So thats where it starts. It starts with the accountability that its no okay anymore. This can no longer be okay. And calling yourself out for exactly how you need to fix it” -David Goggins
Can you imagine the names that are in his black book? Can you imagine what that’s worth we do know that that black book is in the hands of the FBI headquarters
Who has the footage on the security cameras at his homes? Or was it “accidentally” erased?
Remember this people, his plane was stored in New Jersey at route 46 airport, and yes, everyone was on the surveillance, what do you think? The poor authority doesn’t have footage of all that. Security, maintenance crew, fuel employees, local employees called it the kitty plane yeah for a long time.
