good interview with two good dudes who really know what they're talking about (@gilduran.com + david z morris) going through epstein's deep and persistent involvement with #bitcoin/#crypto from the very earliest days. (ICYMI epstein was sending emails about how one of his life goals was to make a lot of money in #virtualcurrency in 2009 just as bitcoin was invented, he met the core dev team in 2011, and he started paying all the developers' salaries ca. 2015).

epstein didn't really understand "the tech" but the #EpsteinFiles make it very clear he was miles ahead of all the 25 year old anarchist crypto bros he was emailing with as far as appreciating how crypto could be used for financial crimes like #moneylaundering.

there's a bunch of emails where Epstein advises some crypto bro about things like how to not pay taxes or how to avoid getting arrested for #moneylaundering or #BankSecrecyAct violations.

see an #EpsteinFiles email from <REDACTED> but with a "Sent from my iPad" style signature and wondering who the author could be?

i have a page to help with that (especially if that email has anything do with Epstein's favourite topics of russian girls, #crypto, and #virtualcurrency / #videogames).
