He wasn’t known for being a great guy, just a really smart guy.

The name of the late Cambridge physicist was included in a 2015 email in which Epstein told Maxwell to offer a reward to any of Giuffre’s “friends acquaitonts [sic] family” who could prove false an allegation that Hawking had participated in an “underage orgy” in the Virgin Islands. Hawking, who died in 2018, has not been accused of a crime related to Epstein.

Like 2/3 of us plebs are not. But if any of us becomes rich or famous....

Someone who would do whatever it takes to get rich or famous is more likely to become rich or famous.

That kinda makes it sound like most people are bastards, they just don't usually get the opportunity to show it.

Which is the truth. Wealth doesn't just corrupt, it also reveals.
