Larry Summers, a well-known academic and former advisor of Digital Currency Group (DCG), has been linked to the notorious financier Jeffrey Epstein. This revelation has emerged from recent court documents, referred to as ‘The Epstein List’, which unveils the names of several influential individuals allegedly associated with the late sex offender.
The declaration from attorney Alan M. Dershowitz, who previously represented Epstein and is himself facing accusations related to Epstein’s alleged sex trafficking activities, highlights Summers’ connection. Dershowitz’s declaration sheds light on Epstein’s significant involvement in the academic sector, particularly at Harvard University. Epstein not only financially supported research at Harvard but also had close ties with numerous academics, including Larry Summers, David Gergen, Stephen Kosslyn, and Henry Rosovsky.
It is important to note that the documents do not explicitly accuse Summers of being aware of or participating in any illegal activities. However, Dershowitz suggests a broader network of academics indirectly associated with Epstein’s questionable actions, which may include behaviors similar to those leading to accusations against Dershowitz.
