i love my governor and i hated hearing this--i don't want anything bad touching him

Billionaire Thomas Pritzker steps down as Hyatt executive chairman over Epstein ties

snip

In an email exchange from 2018, reported by several outlets, Epstein asked Pritzker to help arrange a trip to Asia for Karyna Shuliak, who was reportedly his girlfriend.

When Pritzker asked what she was going to do there, Shuliak responded, “Going to try to find a new girlfriend for Jeffrey.” Pritzker said, “May the Force be with you,” along with a smiley-face emoji.

The Independent has reached out to JB Pritzker’s office for comment about his cousin stepping down from the Hyatt board.

1. You can't choose

Your family members.! Hopefully, JB had nothing to do with it.

[mopinko]

5. there's some truly bad blood in that family. huge fight over inheritance.

jb is pretty much the black sheep, so i wouldnt assume anything.

[bamagal62]

16. No assumptions here!

[kwolf68]

2. As I said Dem or Rep

It doesn't matter, whoever is in this scandal needs to go down hard. TOO MANY innocent girls have been destroyed.

I am in disbelief that NO ONE among the "Epstein Class" ever said to themselves, "naa this is fucked up i can't do this and Im gonna tell."

These fucking oligarchs thought they were above the law = A real argument for a wealth tax.

3. Am I missing something?

Someone steps down after getting caught in the Epstein scandal and the guy the Independent is in search of a comment from is his cousin? Is the reason this is a story is the fact that JB is a governor and the cousin of the guy in the files?

6. pretty sure he's had nothing to do w the hotels for a very long time.

they tried to screw him out of his inheritance, so i think it’s safe to assume there’s family he has nothing to do with.

4. The King of England has a dodgy brother.

Jimmy Carter also had a dodgy brother. So did Bill Clinton (some would say he's the dodgy brother), Dick Nixon (ditto), and George W. Bush (ditto). Whose family doesn't have a black sheep or two?

7. This feels like Watergate, it started out slow

and just snowballed. I think if all of these CEOs
and political leaders from other countries keep
taking a hit some of them will start talking.

8. Poor JB

I was looking forward to our first billionaire POTUS candidate. Much less chance they'd get into office and be hauling out bags of cash

[Wednesdays]

9. JB was likely not involved. See replies #5 and #6. nt

[leftstreet]

10. Oh, I doubt he was

But his primary opponents will use it against him

[patphil]

11. The Epstein class has deep roots all throughout the US, and in the world.

I don't believe they were all pedophiles, but they had to know that the man they were doing business with, and/or engaged with socially had a very dark side to his life.
These people see money and power as an end in its own right. Those who weren't on board with his abuse of young girls were probably casting a blind eye to Epstein's criminality as long as the money was good.

[MerryBlooms]

13. They saught him out! So they could have their perverted desires

Fulfilled. Bring it all into the light! Enough!!Justice is screaming!!

[MerryBlooms]

12. Let the chips fall where they may. Let Justice rein down...

[mopinko]

17. i doubt it.

see my earlier replies.

15. The Late Virginia Roberts Giuffre Was One of Thomas Pritzker's Victims

In a legal deposition, the late Virginia Roberts Giuffre accused Thomas Pritzker of serious sexual allegations, naming him as one of several men she was trafficked to have sex with. In her book Nobody's Girl, Virginia wrote about "Billionaire One" and "Billionaire Two," but omitted their names out of fear for her mortal life and the lives of her family. Thomas Pritzker is one the wealthiest men on the planet and cousin to JB Pritzker, the Democratic governor of Illinois.

Mega-oligarch Thomas Pritzker, who never worked a day in his life, inherited a massive fortune, attended the best schools, ate the finest foods, and traveled the world in First Class or Concorde. This good-for-nothing reprobate lavishes himself with a net worth of $3.1 billion dollars.

Below, the late Virginia Roberts Giuffre when she was an underage sex slave for Jeffrey Epstein and Ghislaine Maxwell. One of Virginia's last wishes was that the monstrous Ghislaine Maxwell never see the light of day again.

18. adding a family tree-

https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Pritzker_family

u can look at this tree and see that jb is not that closely related to tom.
there was a huge fight when old man jay died. as u can see from a chart on this page, tom got twice as much money as jb. wd u b on good terms w the guy who got the lion’s share of the family money?
afaik, jb has not traveled in the circle of the epstein class. he has invested his money in things like early childhood ed and a tech incubator in the merchandise mart. there r tons of things in chgo w the pritzker name on them, but those r not jb’s doing.

there r some very good ppl in that tree. jennifer’s construction co has done amazing rehabs of several landmark properties in my hood.
but yeah, some r big ole pieces of shit.
