Larry Summers, a former U.S. Treasury Secretary, has been issued a lifetime ban by a prominent academic society. This follows the emergence of emails detailing his continued friendly relationship with disgraced financier Jeffrey Epstein, even after Epstein's conviction for soliciting prostitution from a minor.
The American Economic Association (AEA), a nonprofit scholarly body, confirmed it had accepted Summers’ resignation. He is now banned for life from “attending, speaking at, or otherwise participating” in its events.
