Epstein email shows 2018 plan to discuss 'digital currency' with Gary Gensler

An email from Jeffrey Epstein in 2018 mentioned a planned discussion with Gary Gensler about digital currency, BeInCrypto reported. According to the released Epstein files, Epstein wrote in a May 2018 email to former U.S. Treasury Secretary Lawrence Summers, "Gary Gensler is coming over soon, and he wants to talk about digital currency." At the time, Gensler was a professor at MIT, teaching a course on blockchain and digital currencies. Furthermore, Department of Justice documents show that Epstein donated hundreds of thousands of dollars to the MIT Media Lab's Digital Currency Initiative and invested $3 million in Coinbase in 2014. However, the released documents do not contain confirmed evidence of a direct financial relationship between Epstein and Gensler or confirmation that the meeting ever occurred.
