How Did Epstein Get Rich? The New York Times Investigates His "Scams, Schemes, Ruthless Cons"

David Enrich, deputy investigations editor at The New York Times and lead author of the report, headlined “Scams, Schemes, Ruthless Cons: The Untold Story of How Jeffrey Epstein Got Rich,” says Epstein’s early success in business was due to a series of lucky breaks, lies and scams that nevertheless convinced sophisticated investors and business titans to give him their money.
