"The most recent batch of documents that make up the Epstein Files, which was released by the Department of Justice on January 30, includes emails from several individuals who've held prominent roles within the ad tech and advertising ecosystems. Many of these interactions occurred well after 2008, when Epstein pled guilty to Florida state charges of solicitation of prostitution with a minor and began serving an 18-month sentence."
"Of course, having come into contact with Epstein does not constitute a crime and is not evidence of any explicit wrongdoing. (In fact, AdExchanger itself appears in the files, as you'll see below.) However, these connections demonstrate how deeply Epstein had embedded himself into the upper echelons of the corporate finance world and how frequently he and his business partners sought out tech startups across various industries, including ad tech."
"Ad/Fin In 2013, both Epstein and current US Commerce Secretary Howard Lutnik acquired significant stakes in Ad/Fin, a company that frequently billed itself as a "Bloomberg terminal" for buying online media. Although Epstein's signature appears in these documents, the shares are made out to his company, Southern Trust. Epstein's involvement in Ad/Fin was seemingly spurred by Epstein's business partner David Mitchell, who invested in the business as early as December 2012."

A batch of Department of Justice documents released on January 30 includes emails from individuals who held prominent roles within ad tech and advertising ecosystems. Many interactions occurred after 2008, when Epstein pled guilty to Florida state charges and served an 18-month sentence. Contact with Epstein does not itself constitute a crime. Epstein and Howard Lutnik acquired stakes in Ad/Fin in 2013, with Epstein's shares held by Southern Trust, and David Mitchell invested and served on the Ad/Fin board.
