The author says that Stefanie Koff dismisses Donald Barr - father of Bill Barr - as an early influencer to Jeffrey Epstein, and she says the biggest influence to Epstein was Alan "Ace" Greenberg.

Mr. Greenberg first met Jeffrey when Greenberg's son was a student at the Dalton School. How was it possible that Epstein, who dropped out of college and lacked a degree of any kind, was hired to teach upper-grade math at the prestigious Dalton School? That has always been a mystery ... but he was originally hired by Mr. Donald Barr, the principal of Dalton.

Epstein didn't last long at the school, maybe only 1 or 2 years, and his next job was as an investment advisor for Bear-Stearns where he scored introductions to some of the wealthiest men and women in the US. "Ace" Greenberg the CEO of Bear-Stearns gave young Jeffrey a warm recommendation that opened many doors. Once Epstein got the chance to meet America's wealthiest people, his charm, street-smarts, and cunning did the rest.

This is an interesting article, and it's well-researched. However this background info doesn't delve into Epstein's activities as a child-molester or pedophile. It should be regarded as background info on how he made extraordinary wealth in his 20s and early 30s - far younger than most investment advisors.
