of the charmingly inevitable accidents of Epstein's rise, Greenberg was a senior partner of the house;
Bear Stearns CEO Jimmy Cayne later told New York that Epstein's forte was dealing with wealthier
clients, helping them with their overall portfolios. Leslie Wexner, founder of Limited Brands, reportedly
made Epstein his financial adviser and was instrumental in building his fortune. Epstein was no
footman; he loved luxury and, in his own words, saw himself as a financial architect, someone who
could show the rich how to live with their money. "I want people to understand the power, the
responsibility, and the burden of their money," he once wrote. At times, his powers seemed magical. "I
think it's all done with mirrors," says Michael Stroll, a Chicago businessman who sued Epstein (and
lost) when an oil deal didn't work out.

Stroll says he could never get a straight line from Epstein. "Everybody who's his friend thinks he's so
darn brilliant because he's so darn wealthy. I never saw any brilliance, I never saw him work. Anybody I
know that is that wealthy works 26 hours a day. This guy plays 26 hours a day."

Those who believe in Epstein say that his intelligence works in a lofty and synthetic manner. "His mind
goes through a cross section of descriptions," says Joe Pagano, a financier. "He can go from
mathematics to psychology to biology. He takes the smallest amount of information and gets the correct
answer in the shortest period of time. That's my definition of IQ."

A Columbia University geneticist says Epstein has that insight in science, too. "He has the ability to
make connections that other minds can't make," says Richard Axel, a Nobel Prize winner. "He is
extremely smart and probing. He can very quickly acquire information to think about a problem and also
to identify biological problems without having all the data that a scientist would have ... He also has an
extremely short attention span. Why?—it's not that he's bored. He has enough information after fifteen
