David Copperfield has announced that he is performing his last show at MGM Grand in Las Vegas next month, an announcement that comes weeks after documents released in the Epstein files revealed new details about how the FBI viewed the illusionists relationship with Jeffrey Epstein, the late convicted sex offender.
The announcement that the 69-year-old illusionists last show would be held on 30 April appears to have been made suddenly. In a statement praising and thanking Copperfield for his 25-year stint at MGM, the company said in a statement that it would automatically refund tickets for shows that were booked after that date.
In a statement on social media, Copperfield said he would soon be announcing whats next, saying it would be the largest project he had ever tackled.
Copperfield has previously faced controversies, including a criminal investigation from 2007 to 2009 in which he was accused of raping a woman he had met in the audience of a show and invited to his private Bahamian island. Copperfield was never charged and said he was innocent of any wrongdoing. In a nationally broadcast cable show with Oprah Winfrey he said he was the victim in that case.

(16,844 posts)A wikipedia editor has nominated this list for deletion. Wonder why..usually Wikipedia is factually accurate. But I next expect these moronic social engineers to deliberately flood trusted sources with bullshit to test critical thjnking skills but actually just muddy the truth. Because deception is not a good research methodology. It is all this garbage - cultural anthropology, lie and emotion detection, bot or not tests, sanity checks.
Anything but acknowledge that these methods in data science, ai research etc are just a scam and this shit doesnt need to be studied just checked and stopped.
Basic science research has become too gate kept except for this shitheads and that garbage proliferates. Fuck that. For 14 years I have seen no legitimate use case that wasnt forced and torture filled (with collateral damage like me), with the added nuisance avoiding that beaglegate bullshit (totally fake concern by people who cheerfully eat factory farmed meat) when it is an attack on Dr.Fauci.
Dr.Fauci is cool..I know how overworked people like those are. It is not like this i have no principles and am a creep crowd. To hell with these creeps and anyone like them.
Of course those people who actually tortured beagles should face charges for criminal malpractice and criminal misconduct (both a metaphor and literal as it applies).
If I hear one more time that oh we just had business ties. Plausible deniability much?
Who would allow these Ambanis or influencer mobs control of their home or street? Look at the criminally misogynistic culture.
If these details are true (not sure why a Wikipedia editor nominated this for deletion..Maybe he is in it..lol..jk
but this is a useful list. I hope it is accurate. None of these people should ever be. accepted into decent society. It is a planet of 8 billion people..who needs these creeps?)
Anil Ambani and Epstein were introduced by Sultan Ahmed bin Sulayem, Ambani seeking White House connections.[10] In March 2017, Epstein offered a tall Swedish blonde woman to Anil, who agreed.[11] The day Modi secured re-election in 2019, Ambani visited the townhouse.[10]
Some sleazy bullshit/other academics:
Richard Axel
Richard Axel is professor of biology at Columbia University who met Epstein in the 1980s.[20] They corresponded from 2010 until 2019. Axel and his wife were invited to Epstein's island multiple times.[21][22] Axel stepped down from his role at the Zuckerman Mind Brain Behavior Institute.
Joscha Bach
Joscha Bach is a cognitive scientist whose MIT Media Lab research has been subsidized by Epstein. Bach wrote to Epstein in 2016 that "black kids in the US have slower cognitive development" and that women "tend to find abstract systems, conflicts and mechanisms intrinsically boring". Bach stated he kept connected to Epstein after his conviction because academics recommended him as a funding source and vouched for his reformation.
(Of course the ever creepy MIT Media Lab)

Edward Boyden is an American-French MIT neuroscientist. In August 2015, Reid Hoffman hosted a dinner in Palo Alto for Boyden. Epstein emailed Peter Attia about the event, and sent himself a photo with Elon Musk, Peter Thiel, Mark Zuckerberg, and his wife, Priscilla Chan. In an email to Tom Pritzker, Epstein described the dinner as.
(Ewww this guy is a hard scientist..shocking..what a creep. He should never be accepted by academia after this).
Boyden is the worst. He is some kind of actual scientist. He should be blacklisted. Ol jfz9580m cannot catch a break and this pervert adjacent guy is okay?

Wouldnt you think that academics would be smarter? Wouldnt you think that entertainers would be more careful?
There was something that made everyone feel safe, like they would never be caught.
