"In between leading a Russian nationalist youth group and becoming a San Francisco venture capitalist who manages millions, Masha Bucher found her way to Jeffrey Epstein. New releases from the Epstein files show that Bucher helped the convicted sex offender with publicity and networking in a tight relationship that blended the professional and the shockingly intimate. Bucher and Epstein's correspondences span from mid-2017 until shortly before his 2019 arrest on sex trafficking charges."
"Early on, she gave him advice about how to use social media and arranged meetings between him and journalists from the likes of Forbes, Business Insider, Futurism and Nature.Their relationship deepened over time, as Bucher repeatedly met with Epstein in person and heaped him with compliments. In return, per the files, he gave her money and a Prada bag, and on one occasion, he asked her for nude photos."
"She reportedly told Hettena that when she originally met Epstein, "I quickly find out I shouldn't be connected with this person. I didn't do much research in the beginning, which I very much regret." "I met him, and he asked me, 'I need connections with the media,'" she reportedly added. "I introduced him to some people. I dig deeper. Oh f-k, it's a very bad story.""
