An email exchange between Jeffrey Epstein and his close confident has revealed another dark reality of the late convicted child sex offender's operations. He seems to have asked the friend nam about his "trumpet plants at nursery", potentially referring to the highly poisonous "Angel's Trumpet" toxin, known to put users in a dissociative state.
On March 3, 2014, Epstein mailed an individual named Ann Rodriguez, telling them to "Ask chris about my trumpet plants at nursery [SIC]?" As per the documents, Epstein also received an article detailing the effects of scopolamine and the plant it comes from, indicating that he may have been aware of all its properties. An email dated January 27, 2015 forwarded by a person named Antoine Verglas to the disgraced financier shows the subject line: "Scopolamine: Powerful drug growing in the forests of Colombia that ELIMINATES free will." In the article shared in the email, it was stated that scopolamine makes people "highly suggestible." "You can guide them wherever you want. It's like they're a child."
