Epstein's partner in the Mindshift conference, a man named
Al Seckel, was known for throwing fabulous parties that
were said to have included the actor Dudley Moore, magi-
cian James "the Amazing" Randi, and future Tesla and SpaceX
founder Elon Musk, as well as many of the scientists Jeffrey

lawsuits," Oppenheimer would write. "In speaking to former
