An email chain from October 2016 between journalist Landon Thomas Jr. (working on a NYT investigation) and Jeffrey Epstein. They discuss Saudi Arabian financial withdrawals (specifically SAMA withdrawing $200 billion), the structure of Saudi investments in private equity versus money markets (mentioning BlackRock), and the impact of low oil prices. Epstein provides a lengthy geopolitical analysis touching on the fragmentation of US power, the Saudi Royal Family structure, wealth inequality fueling Donald Trump's rise, and the US '9/11 Saudi bill'.
