  EXCLUSIVE: 1/ Epstein didn't just prey on children. He helped bankroll and embed a worldview of race science, climate “culling” and eugenics inside Silicon Valley's elite AI networks. Tonight we publish the final part of my @BylineTimes investigation🧵https:// bylinetimes.com/...

  Jeffrey Epstein invested $3 million in Coinbase in 2014, it appears. BTW, Epstein doesn't invest in his own name. He invested in Blockstream through Digital Garage and funded Bitcoin core devs through MIT. I am now guessing that he might have invested through Brock Pierce's [imag…

  there's a pitch deck in Epstein's documents from “NYC Bitcoin Exchange” which boasted Epstein's buddy Andrew Farkas as well as Coinbase CTO / a16z partner Balaji Srinivisan on the executive team. EFTA02725909 #slugsofA16z [image]

  While reporting this, I had something happen that's never happened.  A comms rep for one of the co's disputed my reporting and said what I was telling them was untrue because it was not in Grok, xAI's chatbot.  —  I was looking directly at the files.  And this person was using AI…

  New: we dug into Epstein's dealmaking in Silicon Valley.  He used his connections with tech's elite to get into hot startup deals, some of which paid off handsomely (coinbase) and others that did not (jawbone).  —  W/ @rmac.bsky.social + matt Goldstein  —  www.nytimes.com/2026/02…

  1/ Founders: do due diligence on your investors! If you don't, you might just end up with an affiliate of Epstein and Putin in your cap table. This thread is about publicly reported facts around @mashadrokova + the money behind her fund @DayOneVC. [image]

  2/ Masha Bucher (Drokova) is publicly documented as a former activist connected to Nashi, a pro-Kremlin youth movement. Her experience is the subject of the 2012 documentary Putin's Kiss. https://en.wikipedia.org/... [image]

  She changed her name from Masha Drokova to Masha Bucher. She runs the VC firm “Day One ventures”. This woman is openly saying in emails to Epstein that she gives DNA testing kits to determine what percentage Jewish they are before investing. [image]

  The tweet of Masha Bucher (Masha Drokova) reads as bizarre once you've seen the Epstein files. The sheer narcissism and supremacy are staggering and people like this shouldn't be anywhere near innovative technology. #EpsteinFiles [image]

• @rmac Ryan Mac on bluesky

  At the end of his life, Epstein had assets of around $600m.  A large part of that was due to his ability to get in early to hot tech deals.  The returns he made off those deals helped fund his lifestyle.  —  Here's a gift link for those who want to read the full piece: www.nytime…

  If anyone wants to make me a venture capitalist, I promise it will be really interesting.  Won't be profitable, but I still think you'll get your money's worth.
