Related: About this forumPosted by Keith Olbermann today: Steven Mnuchin's Mysterious Link to Creepy Epstein Model Scout
This was posted today by Keith Olbermann on Twitter. Old article (from Sept., 2019), but relevant given Jon-Luc Brunel was found dead by hanging today. And why doesn't this surprise me? Mnuchin has always looked creepy.
By Emily Shugerman/Daily Beast
In the late 1980sbefore he was a member of Donald Trumps Cabinet, or even a high-rolling hedge-fund managerTreasury Secretary Steven Mnuchin served in an official capacity for a business run by one of Jeffrey Epsteins most infamous associates.
In official records, Mnuchin is listed as the official state point of contact for Next Management Corporation, a company formed in 1988 by modeling-industry insiders Jean-Luc Brunel and Arnaud Brunel. At the time, Jean-Luc Brunel had just been the subject of a 60 Minutes documentary accusing him of drugging and raping at least three models. Later, he would be accused by two women of supplying girls to Epstein to be sexually abused. (Brunel has denied the allegations.)
Records accessed by The Daily Beast list Mnuchin as the New York Department of State process for Next Management Corporation. According to department officials, the DOS process is the person who files a companys registration papers and receives lawsuits and other official documents on their behalfusually a lawyer or some other legal representative.
A Treasury Department official said Mnuchin did not know he was listed as the DOS process for Next Management Corp. before The Daily Beasts inquiry. He said it was not clear how Mnuchin wound up serving in that role and added that the secretary did not recall ever meeting either Brunel brother and had never done business with either of them.

I don't ever recall seeing his background, but all I remember was he looked like a real creep.

(8,548 posts)3. Same. I knew he was an investment banker and I think had a lot to do with home foreclosures
but had no idea he had any connection to Epstein. You're right, he is a creepy looking creep.
