Epstein advises media mogul to relinquish control due to health concerns

Files released by the US Department of Justice reveal that Jeffrey Epstein urged Mortimer Zuckerman to relinquish control of his financial affairs due to cognitive impairment concerns. Epstein, a late sex offender, advised Zuckerman to appoint guardians to manage his affairs for his own safety. Zuckerman, a media mogul, appeared to take Epstein’s advice seriously, but it is unclear if he followed through. The two men had a business relationship dating back over two decades and Epstein even proposed a $21m plan to assist Zuckerman with estate planning in 2013.
