Jeffrey Epstein once bragged to a New York Times columnist about having potentially damaging information on rich, famous and powerful people, including details about their drug use and sexual tendencies.
The billionaire and convicted sex offender claimed in an interview last year that a number of influential people had told him their secrets.
Epstein revealed the details to columnist James B. Stewart in an interview at the 66-year-old's Manhattan mansion on August 16 last year.
In a piece for the New York Times on Monday - just days after Epstein was found hanging in his federal jail cell - Stewart recalled arriving at the billionaire pedophile's home and being greeted by a blonde woman in her twenties.
The overriding impression I took away from our roughly 90-minute conversation was that Mr Epstein knew an astonishing number of rich, famous and powerful people, and had photos to prove it,' Stewart said.
'He also claimed to know a great deal about these people, some of it potentially damaging or embarrassing, including details about their supposed sexual proclivities and recreational drug use.'
Epstein apparently didn't divulge names during his conversation with Stewart but told him that people often confided in him because of his own scandalous past, including being a registered sex offender and pleading guilty to soliciting prostitution for underage girls.
Stewart said that Epstein made no secret of his past and acknowledged that he was a 'pariah in polite society'.
'At the same time, he seemed unapologetic. His very notoriety, he said, was what made so many people willing to confide in him,' Stewart wrote.
'Everyone, he suggested, has secrets and, he added, compared with his own, they seemed innocuous. People confided in him without feeling awkward or embarrassed, he claimed.'

They don't really care whether the truth gets out, because the public no longer knows what's meant by "the truth."
Well, I mean, no one can tell the difference anymore between what's real and what's fake.
Anyway, the point is, I can tell you all of this, right out in the open, because it doesn't matter who knows about it. They won't know whether to believe it or not.-

A gun is a tool, Marion, no better or no worse than any other tool, an axe, a shovel or anything. A gun is as good or as bad as the man using it. Remember that.

Liberty's too precious a thing to be buried in books, Miss Saunders. Men should hold it up in front of them every single day of their lives and say: I'm free to think and to speak.
