💰 Financial Record

In this August 2018 email, physicist Lawrence Krauss writes to Jeffrey Epstein (using the alias 'jeevacation') to ask if he can 'hitchhike' on Epstein's plane to Europe in October. Krauss explains that a major lecture in Heidelberg was cancelled due to a 'university determination re australia' being publicized, complicating his travel logistics and funding. He forwards an email from organizer Jakob Köllhofer, who offers a reduced lump sum of $5k for a different event on October 19, citing budget constraints caused by booking a prominent Nobel laureate.
