Disgraced Financier Tried to Seize Control of Billionaire's Affairs
Newly revealed files show that convicted sex offender Jeffrey Epstein pressured media mogul Mortimer Zuckerman to hand over control of his personal and business matters, citing Zuckerman's declining health.
Jeffrey Epstein, the late convicted sex offender, had reportedly urged Mortimer Zuckerman, the US-Canadian billionaire media mogul, to enter a guardianship or conservatorship arrangement, according to recently surfaced files.
Zuckerman, the former owner of the New York Daily News and U.S. News & World Report, was allegedly pressured by Epstein to relinquish control of his personal and business affairs due to concerns over Zuckerman's declining health. The files suggest that Epstein saw an opportunity to exert influence over the elderly billionaire's assets and decision-making processes.
