Summary
This document is an excerpt from the book 'Filthy Rich' (marked as House Oversight evidence) detailing Jeffrey Epstein's association with Al Seckel, a 'self-professed PhD' and grifter. It describes two scientific conferences hosted by Epstein: the 2010 Mindshift conference in the Virgin Islands (co-hosted with Seckel) and a 2012 gathering on Little St. James attended by Stephen Hawking and other physicists. The text also notes the shutdown of Epstein's foundations and the refusal of future donations by organizations like Mount Sinai Hospital and Ballet Palm Beach.

FILTHY RICH
It was an odd thing, Epstein's association with this self-professed PhD who, on closer inspection, turned out to be a bit of a grifter. But the Mindshift conference that Epstein and Seckel hosted in the Virgin Islands did take place, in 2010. Murray Gell-Mann was there, along with Leonard Mlodinow, a physicist who coauthored books with Stephen Hawking. Gerald Sussman, an expert on artificial intelligence who taught at MIT and also attended the conference, said that he didn't remember too much about it.
"We had scientific discussions, talked about various things," he said vaguely.
When Mark Oppenheimer asked him if he'd given money to Seckel, Sussman "got testy" with the reporter.
"I have had some dealings with him," Sussman said. "I don't want to say what it's about, because I don't feel good about it, okay?"

Today, Epstein's websites—JeffreyEpsteinFoundation.com and JeffreyEpsteinScience.com—are down. Their domain names have long since expired. Several recipients of Epstein's charitable contributions, including New York's Mount Sinai Hospital and Ballet Palm Beach, announced that they would not be accepting new gifts.
"The further I can keep myself from anything like that the better," said Ballet Palm Beach founder Colleen Smith.
But in 2012, Epstein held one more conference on Little Saint Jeff's. Once again, three Nobel Prize winners were in attendance. Stephen Hawking was also there. All in all, Epstein had gathered twenty-one physicists—from Princeton, Harvard, MIT, and CERN
