The Guardian reported that British billionaire Sir James Goldsmith was allegedly warning people about Jeffrey Epstein as early as the late 1980s, decades before Epstein became the subject of a federal…
This article was published once again by The Guardian, and the headline: British billionaire warned Epstein was a sexual deviant decades before the FBI closed in on the abuser.
For Jeffrey Epstein, the billionaire Goldsmith family was a gateway to elite society, and he wanted to be in their circle.
The disgraced financier, pedophile, who died in prison in two thousand nineteen facing sex trafficking charges, longed for a billionaire's lifestyle and cultivated the family's friends, bankers, business associates, and advisors.
And that was his MO, right? He'd get in close, then he'd suck people into his web.
You can say what you want about Jeffrey Epstein, but maybe, just maybe, one of the greatest bullshit artists in the history of the world.
And that's saying a lot considering he was palling around with Ghislaine Maxwell, who might be the second-best liar in the history of the world.
He would smooth his way in, he'd get close to people, get them to trust him, and then he'd start his shit.
But Sir James Goldsmith, who was knighted by the Queen in 1976 and became a prominent British politician, remained wary of the American financier and even despised him.
His daughter Jemima recently told The Guardian two decades before Epstein came under a federal investigation, Goldsmith, who died 97, told a confidant that Epstein was a sexual deviant who was recruiting children for illicit activities all the way back in the old days.
Just like I've been telling you, all these people knew that this dude was a sick degenerate.
And again, maybe not to the extent that he was doing it, but people were aware.
And Mr. Goldsmith certainly was aware that Jeffrey Epstein was exactly what we know he is, a child abusing piece of shit.
Goldsmith told me not to have anything to do with him and that he was a pervert and he didn't want him near any of us.
He had four daughters to protect, recalled the famous French architect Robert Couturier, who designed opulent homes for Goldsmith in New York and in Mexico.
Goldsmith's alleged warning came around 1987, years before the complaints about Epstein's solicitation of young girls for sex began filtering into federal law enforcement.
