It turns out Jeffrey Epstein often used private school tuition payments and the perception of his influence over admissions to build his powerful network, even after his 2008 sex crimes conviction. Newly released files from the Justice Department show this was a key method for him to gain influence and foster relationships with prominent individuals.
Per the New York Times, the files reveal dozens of mentions of elite institutions like the Trinity School in Manhattan, Riverdale Country School in the Bronx, and the Masters School in Westchester. It seems Epstein either reached out to parents himself, or hopeful parents contacted him for help with tuition or getting their kids into these exclusive academies.
