Jeffrey Epstein claimed to “hate” the World Economic Forum, but for years he used the lure of its annual meeting in the Swiss Alps to trade influence and favors, describing himself as a “Davos concierge” as he brokered meetings for his friends and contacts.
Although it’s unclear how many times, if ever, he attended the event itself — the World Economic Forum declined to comment when asked — emails released by the US Department of Justice, along with a cache of messages from Epstein’s Yahoo account obtained by Bloomberg, show him working behind the scenes.
