"Throughout the seven months of correspondence reviewed by The Crimson, Summers and Epstein referred to the woman Summers was pursuing in some messages by the code name "peril" but never used her name in messages directly describing the relationship. On at least two occasions, the two men discussed Jin's emails to Summers, which he forwarded to Epstein. In later messages, the two men appeared to joke about the probability that Summers would have sex with the woman, apparently Jin."
"On Tuesday, Summers was recorded in a Harvard lecture hall, opening one of his classes with a mention of his "regret" and "shame" about his communication with Epstein. "I've said that I'm gonna step back from public activities for a time, but I think it's very important to fulfill my teaching obligation," he told the class. "So with your permission, we're gonna go forward and talk about the material in class.""
A dump of Jeffrey Epstein's emails released by the House Oversight Committee shows Larry Summers sought Epstein's counsel while pursuing a relationship with Chinese economist Keyu Jin, for whom Summers served as an economics mentor. Correspondence from November 2018 through July 2019 records Epstein describing himself as a "wing man" and using the code name "peril" alongside a racist pseudonym when referring to Jin. The messages include forwarded emails from Jin and joking exchanges about the probability that Summers would have sex with her. Summers expressed "regret" and "shame" in a Harvard lecture and subsequently stepped back from teaching and other public roles.
