Tim and Grim trace Epstein's improbable rise from a Dalton School teacher hired by Donald Barr through Bear Stearns and into Iran-Contra-linked figures like Stan Pottinger and Adnan Khashoggi's circle, questioning how he ascended to the Davos elite.
- Jeffrey Epstein worked as a math teacher at the Dalton School, an expensive prep school in New York City, hired by Donald Barr, Bill Barr's father.
- Donald Barr wrote a science fiction novel about elites on a fake planet that featured sex slaves.
- Epstein was not a math genius; he somehow linked up with Les Wexner, billionaire owner of Victoria's Secret and other major brands.
- Ghislaine Maxwell's father, Robert Maxwell, is widely believed to have been an Israeli super spy and influential member of the intelligence community.
- The central mystery: how does a man who starts as a high school teacher end up back-channeling between Vladimir Putin and Israeli leadership?
- Epstein moved from Dalton to Bear Stearns, known as the trashiest investment bank that cut the most corners, then got edged out of that position.
- He went into business with Stan Pottinger, a former Nixon deputy attorney general who was at the center of Iran-Contra operations.
- Iran-Contra should really be called Iran-Israel-Angola-Contra because Israel's role gets written out of the historical record.
- The scheme: Israel sent weapons to Iran, the US replenished Israeli stocks, and profits funded the Contras and Angolan rebels.
- Epstein associated with Adnan Khashoggi, one of the biggest weapons dealers of the 1980s and '90s, and a central banker for Iran-Contra.
- Epstein also knew Douglas Lee, a British arms trafficker with ties to Iran-Contra, placing him in the middle of a global intelligence scheme.
