He might be the most talked-about asshole in the world right now. Jeffrey Epstein was incredibly wealthy, insanely perverted, and oddly mysterious in every way-- including his death.

In this first episode, we cover Epstein’s early years as a student, teacher, and the start of his career in finance. Enjoy!
