Summary

Almost everyone in Los Angeles hopes that one day they’ll receive an invitation on their doorstep inviting them to one of Al Sekel’s parties. In order to attend, he always provides a vague caveat like, ‘bring the most interesting person you know.’ Fulfill it and the host himself will likely usher you inside his mansion, give you the tour, and show you a giant painting that seems to be…moving? Later on, someone at the party might clue you in, ‘He’s the world’s greatest collector of optical illusions. He likes them because they violate expectations.’ Al Sekel is known as a harmless, artsy oddball who just happens to be Ghislaine Maxwell’s brother in law, until the most recent release of Epstein’s emails. An email from Sekel to Epstein in 2010 reads in short, ‘Now the headlines do not mention convicted sex offender or pedophile…Your wiki entry now is pretty tame and bad stuff has been muted…We hacked the site to replace the mug shot and caption.’ According to the email, Sekel helped Epstein clean up his online image. To Sekel, the damage control is likely just another optical illusion. However, we’ll never truly know why because soon after those emails, Al Sekel goes missing. Weeks pass and authorities find his body at the bottom of an 100 ft cliff in France. One of his hands and one of his feet is nowhere to be found. Yet, authorities say he died by s*icide. But how many s*icides connected to one case is too many? Demand Justice for Epstein Survivors: https://www.change.org/EpsteinSurvivors Full show notes available at RottenMangoPodcast.com
