Power, secrets and lies: The making of Epstein
The Daily TA self-made financier, a master manipulator or a fraud hiding in plain sight? Jeffrey Epstein’s story begins in Brooklyn. He was the son of working-class parents and left university without a degree. Yet somehow he talked his way into elite classrooms and, eventually, the highest tiers of Wall Street.
On today’s Daily T, Camilla and our writers Mick Brown and Robert Mendick trace Epstein’s ascent from a maths-savvy teenager and eccentric teacher to a powerful operator entrusted with billions. They explore his carefully constructed persona, the influential connections and the troubling behaviour that followed him long before his high-profile crimes came to light.
Who was the real Jeffrey Epstein and how did he get away with it for so long?
