Summary
An email chain from February 2018 between Jeffrey Epstein and physicist Lawrence Krauss. Krauss discusses the fallout from allegations published by Buzzfeed and his decision to take a voluntary leave from the Board of the Bulletin to avoid being fired ('the alternative was worse'). Epstein advises Krauss to aggressively refute the claims, suggesting he frame them as 'ludicrous' or merely 'jokes' and compares the accusers' consensus to people agreeing they saw flying saucers.
