From Person to Publicist: The Evolution of Celebrity and Image

The layperson’s first brush with everyday perfection came in the ’90s when the daughters of New York City’s richest power players decided to make their life consumable to the average person. Rather than hiding inside of mansions like the millionaires of yore, these women—such as Paris Hilton, Casey Johnson, and Olivia Palermo—were seen both at red carpet events and blackout drunk at nightclubs.…

Power Publicist Peggy Siegal Compares Epstein Backlash to Living in ‘Nazi Germany’

Peggy Siegal made a name for herself doing what few others in the public relations industry could do what she did as well as she did. An engineer of buzz, a ruthless and clever deployer of rumors, and a hostess to the A-list, the “Uber-publicist” herded countless actors, producers, and directors to Oscars fame.

But the behind-the-scenes media maven has lately been caught in the news spotlight…

Epstein Was a Sex Offender. The Rich and Powerful Still Welcomed Him. https://www.nytimes.com/2019/07/13/nyregion/jeffrey-epstein-new-york-elite.html

Jeffrey Epstein Was a Sex Offender. The Powerful Welcomed Him Anyway.

By Jodi Kantor, Mike McIntire and Vanessa Friedman | Published July 13, 2019 | New York Times | Posted July 13, 2019 |

A strange thing happened when Jeffrey Epstein came back to New York City after being branded a sex offender: His reputation appeared to rise.

In 2010, the year after he got out of a Florida prison, Katie Couric and George Stephanopoulos dined at his Manhattan mansion with a British royal. The next year, Mr. Epstein was photographed at a “billionaire’s dinner” attended by tech titans like Jeff Bezos and Elon Musk. A page popped up on Harvard University’s website lauding his accomplishments, and superlative-filled news releases described his lofty ambitions as he dedicated $10 million to charitable causes.

Powerful female friends served as social guarantors: Peggy Siegal, a gatekeeper for A-list events, included him in movie screenings, and Dr. Eva Andersson-Dubin, a champion of women’s health, maintained a friendship that some felt gave him credibility. Mr. Epstein put up a website showing Stephen Hawking and other luminaries at a science gathering he had organized.

“If you looked up Jeffrey Epstein online in 2012, you would see what we all saw,” Leon Botstein, the president of Bard College, said in an interview. He seemed “like an ex-con who had done well on Wall Street,” who was close to the Clintons and gave money to academic pursuits, Dr. Botstein said. That was why, he noted, Bard accepted an unsolicited $50,000 in 2011 for its high schools, followed later that year and in 2012 by another $75,000 in donations.

Over a decade ago, when Mr. Epstein was very publicly accused of sexually abusing girls as young as 14, he minimized the legal consequences with high-powered lawyers, monetary settlements that silenced complaints, and a plea deal that short-circuited an F.B.I. investigation and led to the resignation announcement on Friday of a Trump cabinet official who had overseen the case as a prosecutor. Socially, Mr. Epstein carried out a parallel effort, trying to preserve his reputation as a financier, philanthropist and thinker.

Some of the respect Mr. Epstein, 66, drew on was manufactured, the accomplishments recycled. The gathering with Dr. Hawking had taken place back in 2006. The positive online notices appeared to have been paid for by Mr. Epstein: A writer employed by his foundation churned out the news releases, and Drew Hendricks, the supposed author of a Forbes storycalling Mr. Epstein “one of the largest backers of cutting edge science,” conceded in an interview that he was given $600 to post the pre-written article under his own name. (Forbes removed the piece after The New York Times published its article.)

Though some institutions and prominent people, including Donald J. Trump, said they shunned him, Mr. Epstein’s tactics largely worked. Over the past week, as the scope of his alleged offenses, involving dozens of victims in the early 2000s, became clearer after a new indictment in New York, the story of Mr. Epstein and his social circles shows how some people were willing to welcome back — or at least give a pass to — a handsome rich man who had been convicted of a crime involving a minor.

Mr. Epstein’s social strategy proceeded from his legal one. The lenient agreement he reached with prosecutors — his plea involved one girl, a 17-year-old, and the crime was prostitution, which made it look like the teenager was in part to blame — gave others a reason to dismiss his wrongdoing, decide he had already paid his penalty or not question what had happened.

At the top of New York society, plenty of people have “weird chitchat attached to their name,” said Candace Bushnell, the “Sex and the City” writer. She said in an interview that she looked into rumors about Mr. Epstein for The New York Observer in 1994 but stopped reporting after she was thrown out of his townhouse and threatened.

For years to come, people brushed such stories aside. “You’d think, ‘It couldn’t possibly be true,’” she said.

A Renaissance Man

In March 2006, a year after allegations of sexual misconduct were first reported to the police in Palm Beach, Fla., Mr. Epstein underwrote the kind of elite event he prized.

It was a five-day gathering in the Caribbean of some of the world’s top scientists, including Dr. Hawking, to share ideas about gravity and cosmology, with scuba and catamaran excursions on the side. One evening, the participants had dinner on the beach at Mr. Epstein’s private island.

Some of the scientists noticed that Mr. Epstein “was always followed by a group of something like three or four young women,” as Alan Guth, a physicist at the Massachusetts Institute of Technology, put it in an email to The Times, but they did not probe further.

Over a decade later, after Mr. Epstein was released from the Palm Beach County jail, he employed a similar strategy. He surrounded himself with prestige and counted on others to look past what he had done.

“I’m not a sexual predator, I’m an ‘offender,’ Mr. Epstein told The New York Post in 2011. “It’s the difference between a murderer and a person who steals a bagel.”

Ms. Siegal recalled, “He said he’d served his time and assured me that he changed his ways.”

For someone purported to have vast resources at his disposal, Mr. Epstein’s early endeavors to improve his image were oddly unpolished. In 2010 he created the first of at least a half-dozen websites, with names like JeffreyEpsteinScience.com and JeffreyEpsteinEducation.com, dedicated to extolling his philanthropy and fashioning himself a patron of technology and medicine.

The websites looked amateurish, the photos of him meeting with top scientists dated to years before his time in prison, and the name of the Harvard professor who led a research center Mr. Epstein had funded, Martin A. Nowak, was often misspelled.

At the same time, Mr. Epstein launched a public-relations campaign composed of a blizzard of news releases, along with canned write-ups designed to resemble news stories. For the most part, the announcements, which circulated from 2012 to 2014, were recycled accounts of donations he had made in the early 2000s and did not reflect new charitable giving. The earliest releases listed Mr. Epstein’s personal contact information, though later ones had the name of a media consultant. Some of the ersatz news stories found their way onto sites like Forbes and The Huffington Post.

Of all the names Mr. Epstein dropped, perhaps the most frequent was Harvard’s.

Though Mr. Epstein never attended Harvard or even got a college degree, the university has been a recurring theme in his self-styled image as a Renaissance man of finance and science. He found Harvard’s doors open to him once he opened his wallet, with donations starting in the early 1990s that eventually totaled at least $7.5 million.

He took to wearing Harvard sweatshirts, gravitated to mingling with celebrity scientists like Stephen Jay Gould and Steven Pinker, and developed friendships with the former Harvard president Lawrence H. Summers and the law professor Alan Dershowitz, who later helped defend him. (In civil suits, Mr. Dershowitz has been accused of having sex with two of Mr. Epstein’s accusers; he has denied the allegations and accused their lawyers of malfeasance.) Mr. Epstein, a former math teacher, even popped up for lunchtime discussions among scientists at a Harvard cafeteria, Dr. Pinker said in an interview, adding, “He weighted his own opinions as much as scholarly literature.”

By 2014, a page appeared on the website for Harvard’s Program for Evolutionary Dynamics, the initiative Mr. Epstein had financed 11 years earlier with a $6.5 million donation (and a pledge of $23.5 million more that never came), featuring a studio portrait, his résumé and links to his websites.

“He is one of the largest supporters of individual scientists, including theoretical physicist Stephen Hawking, Marvin Minsky, Seth Lloyd and Nobel Laureates Gerard ’t Hooft, David Gross and Frank Wilczek,” the Harvard bio said, in what appears to be an exaggerated claim.

A Harvard spokesman said he did not know who was responsible for the page, which has since been removed.

That same year, Mr. Epstein resurfaced at a prestigious science conference. Dr. Pinker, who sat at the same table as Mr. Epstein, said he was treated as an important donor to be wooed.

A Brand-New Start of It

Although he was often described as a billionaire, Mr. Epstein did not come close in his philanthropy to other superrich people. His charitable foundations rarely gave away more than $1 million a year during the 2000s, according to tax records, and much of it was money others had given him.

In 2015, a new foundation Mr. Epstein created, Gratitude America, received a $10 million infusion and started making donations. The source of the money is something of a mystery. Like his earlier giving, which was financed largely by $21 million in donations to his foundation from a close friend and business associate, the retail magnate Leslie H. Wexner, the 2015 money did not appear to have come from Mr. Epstein.

Tax records show the $10 million donation came from a limited liability company located at a 22-story building on Park Avenue in Manhattan that also houses the family foundation of Leon Black, a billionaire investor and chairman of the Museum of Modern Art. He has known Mr. Epstein for years. In 1999, Mr. Black gave $166,000 to another of Mr. Epstein’s charities, and Mr. Epstein once served on the board of Mr. Black’s own foundation. The two men also appear in photos at a 2007 meeting with scientists at Harvard.

It could not be determined whether Mr. Black was responsible for the $10 million donation. His representatives did not respond to requests for comment.

Dr. Eva Andersson-Dubin, founder of the Dubin Breast Center at Mount Sinai, gave Mr. Epstein another form of currency.

The physician, who served for many years as an in-house doctor of NBC, is a breast cancer survivor who used her experience as inspiration for a holistic treatment approach. A former model and Miss Sweden, she is the wife of Glenn Dubin, a founder of Highbridge Capital Management who is No. 1168 on the Forbes billionaires list. The two are known for their philanthropy, and in 2006 they bought Jacqueline Kennedy Onassis’s former apartment at 1040 Fifth Avenue, a symbol of their standing in the city.

Dr. Andersson-Dubin also has a long history with Mr. Epstein, and has remained loyal to him since the 1980s.

At that time, she was putting herself through medical school. She became his girlfriend and, with his encouragement, put modeling aside to focus on her studies. They remained close after she married in 1994. After Mr. Epstein’s release from jail, she continued to socialize with him; those in her circle were aware of their continued friendship.

Despite longstanding news reports about Mr. Epstein’s behavior, Dr. Andersson-Dubin said through a spokeswoman that she was shocked by the recent news. “She’s a very loyal friend and didn’t abandon him after 2008, but the frequency of their contact was less,” the spokeswoman said. The new allegations “are completely counter to the person she is familiar with.”

Their relationship went a long way toward dispersing the cloud around him, according to some observers. If Mr. Epstein had Dr. Andersson-Dubin’s friendship, it suggested to others that perhaps he should be given the benefit of the doubt.

Ms. Siegal, perhaps the city’s most prominent professional hostess, took a more active role, using her gate-keeping powers to usher Mr. Epstein, a friend, into screenings and events.

In an interview, she said that her relationship with Mr. Epstein was not a paid one: They had developed a rapport over the years, with him often quizzing her about films and other topics. “I was a kind of plugged-in girl around town who knew a lot of people,” she said. “And I think that’s what he wanted from me, a kind of social goings-on about New York.”

After he left prison, she had no trouble continuing the friendship. She knew other people who had served time and then resurrected their lives, she said. “The culture before #MeToo was — ‘You’ve done your time, now you’re forgiven.’”

At screenings, Mr. Epstein would shuffle in at the last minute, sit in the back, speak to no one and leave before the party, Ms. Siegal said. He had no ambitions for New York’s party circuit, she and others said, and preferred to entertain people in his own space.

But her invitations helped. In 2010, just after Mr. Epstein left prison, he attended a screening of “Wall Street: Money Never Sleeps.” Soon a flattering blind item appeared in The New York Post about how he was “greeted warmly by guests.”

“It was the first time he has been out in two years, but nobody blinked he was there,” an anonymous source told the newspaper.

A few months later, Ms. Siegal threw the dinner party at Mr. Epstein’s Upper East Side mansion for Prince Andrew, giving Ms. Couric, Mr. Stephanopoulos, Chelsea Handler and others a chance to speak to a member of the royal family a few months before the much-anticipated wedding of Prince William and Kate Middleton.

“It was just one of those strange nights,” Ms. Handler said in an interview. Ms. Siegal had not emphasized who was hosting, several guests recalled. “The invitation was positioned as, ‘Do you want to have dinner with Prince Andrew?’” Ms. Siegal said. Mr. Epstein did not speak much. Dr. Andersson-Dubin was there, but others said they barely knew who Mr. Epstein was or what he had been convicted of.

Two of the other guests have also been accused of sexual misconduct, then or since: the television host Charlie Rose and Woody Allen, who attended along with his wife, Soon-Yi Previn. (“So how did the two of you meet?” Ms. Handler recalled asking the couple.) Soon after, outraged headlines appeared about Prince Andrew’s associating with Mr. Epstein, a sex offender.

In a recent email, Mr. Stephanopoulos said he regretted attending. “That dinner was the first and last time I’ve seen him,” he said, referring to Mr. Epstein. “I should have done more due diligence. It was a mistake to go.”

After the #MeToo era dawned in 2017, others were starting to feel less comfortable with Mr. Epstein. The Miami Herald published an  investigation that spurred new interest in the case. Ms. Siegal began to distance herself. It was obvious that he was going to face renewed scrutiny, she said, but “he was in complete denial.”

Others echoed that description. Just three months ago, as federal prosecutors were closing in with new charges, Mr. Epstein had a conversation with R. Couri Hay, a publicist, about continuing to improve his reputation. Mr. Epstein asserted that what he was convicted of did not constitute pedophilia, said Mr. Hay, who declined to represent him.

The girls he had sex with were “tweens and teens,” Mr. Epstein told him.

Reporting was contributed by Jacob Bernstein, Dennis Overbye, Sarah Maslin Nir and Megan Twohey.

El arresto de Ghislaine Maxwell envía una onda expansiva a través del círculo de celebridades de Epstein con Clinton, Trump y las "élites" en el centro de atención

El arresto de Ghislaine Maxwell envió ondas de choque a través del círculo íntimo de Jeffrey Epstein.

La alta sociedad británica ha sido denunciada por "nombrar nombres" después de ser llevada ante un juez por cargos impactantes de abuso sexual infantil.

Según los informes, Maxwell "cooperará plenamente" con el FBI en su investigación sobre el mundo secreto del magnate financiero vergonzoso.

Y eso podría ser una mala noticia para aquellos que han pasado años alejándose de la vergonzosa Epstein, incluidos Bill Clinton y Donald Trump.

El coautor de & # 39; A Convenient Death: The Mysterious Demise of Jeffrey Epstein & # 39; dijo que algunos se aterrorizarían después del arresto de Maxwell

"Creo que muchos de los amigos de Jeffrey Epstein que se sintieron muy aliviados después de su muerte probablemente estén bastante aterrorizados en este momento", dijo Alana Goodman.

"Epstein está muerto … ella (Maxwell) realmente no tiene que preocuparse por protegerlo ni nada más en este momento".

El ex administrador de fondos de cobertura mantuvo en secreto su lista de clientes, pero a menudo se jactaba de su círculo social de élite que incluía estrellas de cine, presidentes y al menos dos miembros de la familia real.

"Invierto en personas, ya sea política o ciencia", dijo Epstein, según la revista New York. "Esto es lo que hago."

Entre los que están en la "lista" del círculo íntimo se encuentra el ex presidente de los Estados Unidos, Bill Clinton, a quien se le acusó de tener una aventura con Maxwell.

También vinculado a Epstein, Alan Dershowitz, un abogado que representó al presidente Trump durante su juicio político en enero pasado.

Previamente representó a Epstein, también voló en su avión y se dice que recibió al menos un masaje en la casa de Epstein.

Negó cualquier falta.

Wexner, CEO de L Brands, propietario de Victoria’s Secret, también formó parte del círculo de amigos de Epstein.

Tuvo una relación cercana con Epstein, pero terminó su relación en 2007 después de que se hicieron acusaciones contra el asesor financiero derrocado.

Wexner dijo en 2019: "No habría seguido trabajando con alguien capaz de un comportamiento tan atroz y desagradable como el que se informó sobre él".

El agente modelo francés Jean-Luc Brunel, de 74 años, "desapareció" tras la muerte de Epstein luego de ser acusado de ser el "reparador" y "proxeneta" de la financiero.

En una entrevista esta semana, la víctima de abuso Virginia Roberts le dijo a The Daily Beast: "Pensé que después del arresto de Jeffrey Epstein, Ghislaine Maxwell y Jean-Luc Brunel serían los siguientes".

Brunel no respondió a las solicitudes de comentarios.

El actor Kevin Spacey y el comediante Chris Tucker han viajado previamente con Epstein.

Epstein, Bill Clinton, Spacey y Tucker pasaron una semana en 2002 visitando sitios para proyectos de SIDA en África, según la revista New York.

La publicista de cine Peggy Siegal planeó una cena repleta de estrellas para Epstein y el Príncipe Andrew en Epstein Mansion en Nueva York en 2010.

Siegal, conocido por organizar eventos para promocionar películas, incluido "The Revenant", invitó a Epstein a las proyecciones después de su salida de prisión en 2010, según el New York Times.

Luego dijo: "Yo era una chica moderna en la ciudad que conocía a mucha gente. Y creo que eso era lo que él quería de mí, una especie de vida social sobre de Nueva York."

Epstein también afirmó que a menudo hablaba con el príncipe heredero saudita Mohammed bin Salman.

Epstein dijo que el real había visitado la mansión de Epstein varias veces y tenía una foto enmarcada de él colgada en la pared, según los informes.

En una entrevista con el New York Times, Epstein afirmó una vez que Elon Musk le había pedido asesoramiento comercial.

El magnate de Tesla negó haber conocido a Ghislaine Maxwell hoy después de que una foto apareciera en la misma fiesta.

El genio de la tecnología dijo que Maxwell lo había « fotobombado '' en la fiesta de Vanity Fair.

El multimillonario Bill Gates se reunió con Epstein al menos una vez en Nueva York en 2013 y voló en uno de sus aviones privados, informó Business Insider.

"Cometí un error de juicio al pensar que estas discusiones conducirían literalmente a miles de millones de dólares para la salud global", dijo más tarde.

"Resultó ser un mal juicio.

Según los informes, Bill Clinton, que tuvo relaciones sexuales infames con la pasante de la Casa Blanca Mónica Lewinsky durante su presidencia, rompió con Maxwell durante los viajes al extranjero en el avión Epstein.

El ex presidente también visitó a Maxwell varias veces en su casa de Manhattan, según un nuevo libro.

Clinton negó firmemente las sorprendentes afirmaciones de Maxwell.

Pero una fuente fue citada en "A Convenient Death: The Mysterious Demise of Jeffrey Epstein" como diciendo: "(Bill) y Ghislaine se llevaron bien. Por eso estaba con Epstein, para estar con ella. "

"No se podía pasar tiempo con ella sin estar con él. Clinton lo usó como todo lo demás".

Se cree que la relación entre Clinton y Maxwell tuvo lugar mientras viajaba al extranjero, cuando volaron en el avión personal Boeing 727 del depredador sexual Epstein, apodado el "Lolita Express".

También continuó en la antigua casa de Maxwell Upper East Side, según el libro.

En julio de 2010, Maxwell, ahora de 58 años, fue uno de los pocos invitados a asistir a la boda de Chelsea Clinton en Nueva York.

Clinton admitió haber realizado cuatro viajes en el avión de Epstein, pero anteriormente dijo que desconocía por completo los "crímenes terribles" cometidos por el financiero, que 39 se suicidaron el año pasado.

En un viaje a África en 2002, Clinton fue vista posando con Maxwell en la puerta del avión.

El portavoz de Clinton, Angel Urena, dijo sobre su asunto de Maxwell: "Es una mentira total hoy, es una mentira total mañana, y será una mentira total en años ".

Bill Gates dijo que cometió un error al encontrarse con Epstein

Según los informes, Kevin Spacey visitó sitios de proyectos de SIDA en África con Epstein en 2002

Anteriormente se informó que el antiguo mentor de Epstein afirmó que algunas de las personas más poderosas del mundo, incluido el Príncipe Andrew, pueden estar "muy preocupadas" como resultado de la arrestar.

Steven Hoffenberg, quien también estaba cerca de la familia Maxwell, dijo que su arresto fue supuestamente organizado por el FBI, que sabía exactamente dónde se estaba escondiendo.

"Andrew lo manejó mal, muy mal, debería haber hablado con ellos a través de sus abogados y haberles dado consejos", dijo.

"Ella va a cooperar y será muy importante. Andrew puede estar muy preocupado, y hay muchas personas muy preocupadas, se ha nombrado a muchas personas poderosas (en el escándalo), y ella lo sabe todo".

Clinton no fue el único presidente estadounidense que avergonzó a Epstein.

Donald Trump fue fotografiado previamente con él y Maxwell en una fiesta en 2000 en el complejo Mar-a-Lago del presidente en Florida.

“Conozco a Jeff desde hace 15 años. Un gran tipo ", dijo Trump para un perfil de la revista Epstein en 2002.

Después del arresto de Epstein, Trump cambió su tono al decir que "lo conocía como todos en Palm Beach lo conocían".

"Tuve una discusión con él. No he hablado con ella en 15 años. No era fanático de él, puedo decirte ", agregó.

Maxwell, quien se convirtió en un confidente de Jeffrey Epstein, ha sido acusado de ser el "chulo" de Epstein.

Fue arrestada en Bedford, New Hampshire, acusada de conspirar con Epstein para abusar sexualmente de menores.

Maxwell apareció brevemente del video de la prisión durante una audiencia en la corte federal de New Hampshire, donde un juez le ordenó enfrentar cargos criminales en Nueva York.

Ella habló brevemente, respondiendo "sí" a la pregunta de si conocía sus derechos. Su abogado, Larry Vogelman, declinó hacer más comentarios en su nombre.

Los fiscales dijeron que ella presentaba un riesgo de fuga y solicitó que fuera detenida sin derecho a fianza. Dijeron que enfrenta hasta 35 años de prisión.

Está acusada de cuatro cargos de reclutamiento y transporte de menores por actos sexuales ilegales y dos por dar falso testimonio, según la acusación de los fiscales federales de Nueva York.

"Maxwell estaba entre los asociados más cercanos de Epstein y lo ayudó a explotar a niñas de tan solo 14 años", dijo Audrey Strauss, abogada interina de Manhattan en los Estados Unidos.

"Maxwell contribuyó decisivamente a ayudar a Epstein a identificar, hacerse amigo y cuidar a las víctimas menores de abuso. En algunos casos, la propia Maxwell participó en el abuso. "

Fuck, this is gonna me go to DailyFail... 

Jeffrey Epstein partied with Trump's closest advisers including Wilbur Ross, Rudy Giuliani, and Steve Mnunchin at dinner hosted by David Koch just TWO MONTHS after his release from prison

Jeffrey Epstein, 66, attended a screening and dinner party back in August 2010 for the film Wall Street: Money Never Sleeps in Southampton 

The dinner was at the home of David and Julia Koch, and Epstein can be seen in photos chatting with attendees after Peggy Siegal put him on the guest list

'He was chatting to Jonathan Farklas, Leon Black and Wilbur Ross. He was sitting right near Rudy Giuliani,' wrote Page Six at the time

Steve Mnuchin was also present, as were designers Tory Burch and Tamara Mellon and billionaires Steven Schwarzman and Henry Kravis

Epstein should have been registered as a sex offender in New York at the time but it is unclear if he was as his hearing was not until 2011 

Jeffrey Epstein hobnobbed with high-profile guests from the worlds of politics, banking, Hollywood and philanthropy at a Hamptons party just two months after his release by the state of Florida for soliciting a minor.  

Photos from a 2010 dinner party at the home of David and Julia Koch obtained by DailyMail.com show Epstein as he chats with guests after a screening of Wall Street: Money Never Sleeps.   

Among those guests were two men who currently serve in President Trump's cabinet and his most trusted legal adviser.

Steve Mnuchin and his then-wife Heather, Rudy Giuliani and his then-wife Judith and Wilbur Ross all attended the screening and dinner that followed at the Koch's.

The Wall Street Journal wrote about those who attended the event a few days later, and in the piece noted that Giuliani 'walked out of the theater around the same time as Jeffrey Epstein, leading one observer to remark on the "beautifully done meeting of the prosecutor and the felon."' (...)

The Journal story asked guests about the criminal elements of the Wall Street sequel at the party, prompting one individual to note: 'You know, you have to be a little careful what you say and ask here, because there are a lot of guys in the room who spent some time in prison, too.'

Not too careful though, since days later an item ran in Page Six about the party noting that Epstein was 'greeted warmly by guests' at the event.

'It was the first time he has been out in two years, but nobody blinked he was there,' said a person described by the paper as a 'witness.' 

'He was chatting to Jonathan Farklas, Leon Black and Wilbur Ross. He was sitting right near Rudy Giuliani.' (...)
