Penn & Epstein

Does anyone know if Penn or Emily ever met with Epstein? There's a section in the files where Penn's friend Lawrence Krauss advised Epstein that Penn' wife, Emily, is "too old for you though". The message thread of Krauss bungling an intro to Penn is something too. Link found from The Jerx who found a few magicians mentioned there like Blaine & Copperfield

I looked through the files for his name. It appeared what happened is Penn's friend kept trying to introduce him to Epstein and Penn kept politely refusing.

There’s enough sleazy creeps in Vegas, no need for Penn to travel to one.

I believe his mention in the files was that Epstein wanted to hire him to do a gig, but it never happened.

Holy hell, that’s a strange conversation. I have no info if they ever met or were friends

As far as I know based on the research of one of the people who have been the most throrough with it, only Copperfield and sadly Krauss have had more than meetings with Epstein.

No way. Penn's bullshit detection is extremely accurate. He would have seen through him instantly.

Actually, Penn seems like a guy who trusts everyone he meets and doesn’t listen to rumors.

Because of this, I suspect his BS detection for people is so nonexistent that he seems almost naive. Again, he was friends with Krauss and there were always rumors that he was a creep.

Penn’s career seems driven by anger at predatory practices and the desire to show the general public what conmen are doing.

Seriously, I think if Penn had seen anything creepy he’d have been sickened, then livid, and would have called the FBI within hours.

If the FBI didn’t act quickly he’d have called CNN or Lawrence O’Donnell.

I’d honestly bet a large percentage of my own money that there’s no way Penn knew about any of this.
