Right.
Thomas Pritzker declined a comment.
Jess Staley and his lawyer didn't respond to requests for comment.
In the United Kingdom, two people who communicated frequently with Epstein were arrested for sharing confidential government information.
Mm-hmm.
Former Prince Andrew was stripped of his royal title and is now known as Andrew Mountbatten Windsor.
He has denied wrongdoing in relation to his dealings with Epstein and said he regretted his associations with him.
Both Mandelson and the former Prince Andrew have been released by the police.
Neither has responded to requests for comment.
The recent issues in the former Prince Andrew's case relate to when he was serving as Special Representative for International Trade and Investment for the UK government.
In that position, the Epstein files appeared to show that he shared confidential information with Epstein.
For example, in July 2010, then-Prince Andrew forwarded Epstein an email exchange that he'd had with an investment banker based in the United Arab Emirates.
The emails had details regarding the restructuring of the Royal Bank of Scotland following its 2008 bailout.
In Peter Mandelson's case, the former UK politician, the Epstein files show that he forwarded Epstein confidential government correspondence relating to Britain's financial crisis.
For example, when Mandelson was the UK business secretary, he forwarded Epstein a confidential government email from an aide to the then prime minister.
It was advising the government to draw down debt by selling some 20 billion pounds of assets.
The heads-up of a possible UK sale of assets could have allowed Epstein to possibly trade on the information.
Mandelson has previously said in statements that he deeply regrets his past association with Epstein.
Beyond the UK, have there been consequences for any of the people we've been talking about for their ties to Epstein?
As for Boris Nikolic, after his ties with Epstein became public in 2019, he largely unwound the fund he'd started with the money that included tens of millions of dollars from Gates.
