"Sarah Ferguson asked paedophile financier Jeffrey Epstein for advice over bankruptcy while he was in prison, and begged him for a job after he was released, according to emails. The communications released as part of a tranche of documents by the Department of Justice appear to show the former Duchess of York reaching out to Epstein over her debt troubles, which she called so so demoralising. She appears to have said death is easier than this and that she was about to freak with exhaustion as she asked the wealthy financier for advice on her debt pile, which she wrote stood at 6m. A year later, she appeared to beg Epstein for a job, telling him she desperately need the money [sic]."
