Monday Update: Thomas J. Pritzker, the 75 year old billionaire Hyatt Hotels heir, resigned immediately on Monday as executive chairman over his ties to convicted sex offender Jeffrey Epstein. He told the board he exercised terrible judgment staying in contact with Epstein and Ghislaine Maxwell after Epstein's 2008 sex crimes plea. Released files show frequent meetings and correspondence, including at Epstein's Manhattan townhouse. In one 2018 exchange, when Epstein's girlfriend said she planned to find him a new girlfriend on a trip Pritzker helped arrange, Pritzker replied with a smiley face and "May the Force be with you." Other records reveal Epstein joking about a Dalai Lama and Woody Allen lunch and coordination around invitations to the Pritzker Prize ceremony in Beijing. I shared the metaphorical proverb over the weekend, "if you lie down with dogs, you wake up with fleas." More are coming.

The point I'm making in this article is simple: “If you lie down with dogs, you wake up with fleas.” Proximity is a decision, and decisions carry consequences long after the moment feels convenient.

Mr Wasserman sounds like a sleazy man.🤢 His reputation should take a hit. 😠 Yet I am concerned that we are getting over our skis on these names. 😳I am ready to be broken-hearted by some of the names that will show up as actual evil-doers. 💔 But, first let us investigate prudently this rot at the core of our culture. ✍️ We have to eradicate this rot or the republic will fall following widespread de-moralization of the citizenry. ⚖️ Time takes time.🫱🏻‍🫲🏽
