Epstein Files Reveal Gaming Connections, Plans To Buy Activision Stock

Convicted sex criminal and alleged human trafficker Jeffrey Epstein had extensive reach in the worlds of politics and entertainment. As indicated in newly released portions of the millions of emails colloquially known as the Epstein files, his reach extended into the gaming realm as well.

Although associations with Epstein are not proof of criminal activity, they carry over to the court of public opinion, regardless of guilt or innocence.

According to the newly released files, Epstein's connection to the gaming industry allegedly begins in 2012. More than a dozen emails sent in 2012 and 2013, allegedly between Epstein and former Activision Blizzard CEO Bobby Kotick, suggest the two had a relationship. These show the former attempting to set up meetings, and inviting Kotick to his private island.
