I see Trump and Epstein in that infamous video at the party or whatever, Trump doing his buck-toothed "SHE'S HOT" moron boogie dance, and Epstein just RADIATES skeevy pedo creepiness. I refuse to believe people didn't know there was something very wrong with him on FIRST CONTACT.Billionaire Tom Pritzker announced on Monday he was retiring as executive chairman of Hyatt Hotels after his association with convicted sex offender Jeffrey Epstein was revealed in the latest release of files by the US Justice Department.
Pritzker, who has been executive chairman since 2004, also said he wont stand for re-election with the companys board.
Good stewardship also means protecting Hyatt, particularly in the context of my association with Jeffrey Epstein and Ghislaine Maxwell which I deeply regret, Pritzker, an heir to the Hyatt fortune, said in a statement.
He continued, I exercised terrible judgment in maintaining contact with them, and there is no excuse for failing to distance myself sooner.
Pritzker is the latest powerful figure facing repercussions after the release of files showing the depth of Epsteins network of business and cultural elites. The released files showed Pritzker in recurring contact with Epstein, even after Epsteins controversial 2008 plea deal for procuring a minor for prostitution.

OP
That "birthday book" shows that his predation was common knowledge in his social circle.

There was no excuse before he was exposed. Nobody is fooled by the Epstein Entitlement Class

I don't believe they stopped.

So claims of ignorance by anyone with repeated/persistent contact/association ought not be believed as a matter of routine.
