BREAKING: CNN Just Surfaced A Pretty Stunning Exchange.
By 2010, Jeffrey Epstein had already pleaded guilty to soliciting prostitution involving a minor.
His conviction was public.
His reputation was known.
Yet according to records reviewed by CNN, Epstein contacted Faith Kates, the co-founder of Next Management, asking for a "great girl" to bring to an event.
CNN reports that Kates responded:
"Let me think who is around."
Think about that timeline.
Not before the conviction.
Not before the allegations became public.
After.
The question is no longer whether people knew who Epstein was.
It's why some continued interacting with him after they did.
