He socialized with Epstein (post conviction? looks like he did![0]), ran in the same circles (publishing in that that ridiculous "Edge foundation" thing[1]) and threw him under the bus only after he was safely declared dead, apparently seeing nothing wrong with Epstein's grotesque antics as long as the spice was flowing[2].
