Epstein himself, for once, and that would be enough. Also, one of their magazines/websites was reporting on some crazy parties, travel-trips and weddings carried out by SV owners, things that nowadays will definitely raise a few eyebrows in terms of economic inequality and conspicuous consumption, but those article were very badly received by the employees of those people the articles were writing about (so including people on this website) so that not a lot of tears were shed when Gawker went down.

I’m not equaling Marie Antoinette-way of living to the despicable things Epstein did, I’m just saying that in today’s political climate it would have been very interesting to still have access to articles detailing how the Google or FB owners were throwing out their money.

I don't really see a difference between "these evil rich people are spending money / living if ways that we don't approve" and "these evil rich people are having sex in ways we don't approve" (i.e. Thiel is gay!!!1). Both are a needless distraction from progress/living happily and encourage a hostile political climate.
