Here is some more info on who is in the book. Some of the people listed have confirmed that it is real. Others say they don't remember.

It doesn't say anything about that. Just who contributed to the book and what "funny" message they put in it. They are all along similar themes, like a roast. Ha ha all in good fun.
ugh.

@futurebird Yeah no, you were definitely not the problem there, that sounds hella predatory.
I also remember feeling so lucky and cool going around the back of this big lovely building under renovation and going past the velvet rope with my smart and cool (so I thought) friend from work who knew about the good parties.
It seemed very glamorous.
I don't even think this was anything big or at the extremity of how these things become sinister.

@futurebird Yeah, I'm gonna go ahead and assume that it's the latter for at least a sizable chunk of the people who were involved with Epstein.
As far as I can tell, rich and powerful people virtually always have a completely warped sense of self-esteem, with many of them seeming to think they're damn near gods, i.e. inherently better than us plebians.

I think anyone can get sucked in, but maybe one needs to be broken to help run it and working to keep it alive like Maxwell did. Everyone said that she worked so hard to "keep Jeffery happy"
why.
why?
She was from a rich family. She must have enjoyed the power trip, or the people who think it's an intelligence conspiracy might be right. Working so hard just to make something seedy and ugly.
