🧵THREAD: Is Trump's hunch about foreign influence in SCOTUS correct?
After the Supreme Court's 6-3 ruling on tariffs, Trump said "It's my opinion that the court has been swayed by foreign interests and a political movement that is far smaller than people would ever think."
Trump is likely referring to the ideology of supranationalism -- a centuries-old ideology that considered tariffs to be among the highest economical blunders, not for economic reasons, but because tariffs dare to assert national rights in a telos of universal liberalism.
But is he right about the foreign influence?
As has been widely reported, @MikeBenzCyber has unpacked the details of the friendship between John Roberts and Norm Eisen, and their Prague vacations where they discussed "American and European rule-of-law issues" together.
But there's more to it. A lot more. 👇
As always, patience as I pull the thread together.

Eisen is a leading figure in the supranational democracy network being an expert in color revolutions (but don't dare suggest that he's orchestrating one here). He's a co-founder of the States United Democracy Center (which I called out for simply producing a Muppet show), co-counsel for Trump's first impeachment council, formerly US Ambassador to Czech Republic, CREW chair.

2. O Parceiro de Conversação Imersivo Estilo Rosetta Stone
"Você é um falante nativo e tutor certificado que ensina pelo método imersivo da Rosetta Stone — onde você aprende CONVERSANDO, não memorizando regras de gramática, porque o cérebro humano absorve idiomas pelo uso, não pelo estudo.
Preciso que você seja meu parceiro de conversação que se adapta ao meu nível e me ensina naturalmente pelo diálogo.
Converse:
→ Comece no meu nível: use apenas vocabulário e gramática que já conheço na primeira conversa
→ Expansão gradual: introduza 3 a 5 palavras novas por conversa de forma natural, com contexto suficiente para eu deduzir o significado
→ Correção sem interrupção: quando eu errar, não pare a conversa — use a forma correta naturalmente na sua resposta para eu absorver
→ Andaime bilíngue: se eu travar, me dê a palavra que preciso entre parênteses (assim) para a conversa continuar fluindo
→ Contexto cultural: me ensine as expressões que um nativo REALMENTE usa, não a versão do livro que ninguém fala na vida real
→ Pronúncia: quando uma palavra é frequentemente mal pronunciada, indique a pronúncia correta de forma fonética
→ Temas progressivos: comece com o cotidiano (cumprimentos, comida, direções) e avance para opiniões, histórias e temas abstratos
→ Formalidade: me ensine quando usar linguagem formal ou informal — a maioria dos cursos só ensina o formal
→ Velocidade: comece devagar e aumente gradualmente até o ritmo natural de fala
→ Resumo da sessão: ao final, liste cada palavra e expressão nova que aprendi durante a conversa
Formate como uma conversa natural com correções entre colchetes, vocabulário novo destacado e lista de palavras ao final de cada sessão.

There is slave labour happening in Canada right now.
TODAY. Right now. In 2026. On Canadian farms and factories.
Workers sleeping 8 to a room, with no locks on the doors., and peeing in bottles because they can't leave their work stations.
Passports are being confiscated and cameras installed in their sleeping quarters.
Physical, sexual, and psychological abuse.
A woman from Cameroon who came to Canada to work on a farm said at a press conference in Montreal:
"I lived two years under slavery. An animal had more value than me."
The United Nations investigated. Amnesty International investigated. Both reached the same conclusion:
This isn't the case of a few bad employers. The system was designed this way.
This thread will show you who designed it, why, and who profits.

(The ONE office in the country which investigates human rights abuse tied to Canadian corporate activity abroad in the mining, oil & gas, and garment sectors.)
has been vacant since 2025. Cases can no longer be processed.
And the Carney government is considering eliminating it entirely.

THE REID HOFFMAN FILES: GOVERNMENT EDITION
I built an AI system to trawl through every single email in the Epstein files.
I have reported these results previously.
But then it occurred to me:
What if I cross-referenced all of the emails to the entire ecosystem of available public government records?
Then we wouldn't have just emails. We would emails anchored in factual reality by government records -- sworn declarations to the United States government.
I published several rounds of the Reid Hoffman Files.
The first: 1,531 DOJ documents showing 40+ meetings, island visits, mansion sleepovers, estate planning, and a five-year personal relationship Hoffman called "a few interactions for MIT fundraising."
The second: 484 more documents -- jets, drivers, helicopter logistics, Epstein's pilot changing flight plans "because he likes that Reid Hoffman." [EFTA00321136]
2,015 documents. Every quote verbatim. 16 public claims tested. 13 rated FALSE.
This is the third round. It's different.
This time the evidence doesn't come from Jeffrey Epstein's emails. It comes from the United States government: SEC filings, IRS 990 returns, FEC campaign finance records, and USVI corporate registries.
Public records that anyone can verify. Records that Hoffman cannot dismiss as "taken out of context" or "mischaracterized."
Government filings don't have "context problems". They're sworn declarations to federal agencies.
I. THE TRUST NAMES
Hoffman says he was "never a client of Epstein's."
On December 28, 2013, Epstein emailed Hoffman a seven-point wealth architecture plan. [EFTA01752261] [EFTA00979879] [EFTA01944661]
Here is what Epstein advised.
And here is what government filings show Hoffman built.
Epstein advised: "charity structures. DAF. CRT. NIMCRUTS. CLT. GRATS." [EFTA01752261]
IRS Form 990-PF: Hoffman created the Aphorism Foundation, a private foundation with $1,053,909,102 in net assets and $43 million in annual grants.
A private foundation is the vehicle class Epstein recommended.
Epstein advised: "all personal stock held in various trust names (easily understood. aphorism sounds more like an NSA program)" [EFTA00979879]
IRS Form 990-PF: The foundation is called the Aphorism Foundation. Epstein was workshopping what to call Hoffman's trusts. He thought "Aphorism" sounded too opaque. Hoffman used it anyway.
A convicted sex offender had opinions about the name on a billion-dollar IRS filing.
Epstein advised: "pour over will. if michele is left. if neither is left. protection. protection protection." [EFTA01752261]
SEC Schedule 13G: Hoffman's LinkedIn shares were held in the "Reid Hoffman & Michelle Yee Living Trust."
Michele is Michelle Yee, Hoffman's wife. Epstein was planning for what happens if she outlives him. The government filing confirms Hoffman followed Epstein's advice and created a joint trust structure.
Epstein advised: "llinkn stock split? all personal stock held in various trust names." [EFTA00979879]
SEC Schedule 13G: Hoffman held 46.6% of LinkedIn through the living trust in 2012, declining to 11.06% by 2016. Every share ran through the trust structure Epstein advised on. At the time of the Microsoft acquisition -- $26.2 billion -- Hoffman's 11% stake was worth roughly $2.9 billion.
Epstein advised: "Mitcoins, p coins. The DAf can issue p-coins." [EFTA01752261]
SEC Form D: Ten months later, Hoffman became a Director of BlockStream Corp -- a bitcoin infrastructure company. Filed October 2, 2014. $16.2 million offering.
Epstein advised Hoffman to invest in crypto in December 2013.
Hoffman invested in crypto in October 2014.
Epstein advised: "personal cash flow needs. bank borrowings at least for awhile make more sense than after tax sales." [EFTA00979879]
SEC Schedule 13G: Hoffman's LinkedIn ownership declined gradually -- 46.6% to 16.6% to 13.2% to 11.7% to 11.1% -- over four years.
Not a sudden liquidation. Consistent with the borrow-against-stock strategy Epstein recommended.
Hoffman replied to the seven-point plan: "Very helpful. :) Thx. Did take notes." [EFTA00979884]
Six of seven points are confirmed or consistent with government filings. The trust is real. The wife is in it. The LinkedIn stock ran through it. The foundation carries the name. The crypto investment followed. The ownership trajectory matches the advice.
This was not a casual conversation at a fundraiser. This was a financial blueprint for a $2.9 billion estate.
The man who drew it was a convicted sex offender.
The man who followed it was Reid Hoffman.
II. THE BLOCKSTREAM INVESTMENT
The DOJ documents show that Hoffman didn't just follow Epstein's crypto advice -- he cut Epstein in on the deal.
Hoffman used his BlockStream board seat to bump Epstein's allocation from $50,000 to $500,000. Other investors took haircuts so Epstein could get 10x preferential access. [EFTA01917472]
SEC Form D for BlockStream Corp (filed October 2, 2014):
> Entity: BlockStream Corp
> Offering: $16,204,995
> Amount sold: $15,184,998
> Related person: Reid Hoffman -- Director
Hoffman is listed as a Director on a federal securities filing. The DOJ documents show he used that directorship to funnel a convicted sex offender preferential investment access.
This is not "MIT fundraising". This is a registered investment where Hoffman personally brokered Epstein's participation.
Joi Ito confirmed it to Larry Summers in November 2014: "Jeffrey and Reid are both involved in BitCoin stuff as is Danny Hillis." [EFTA02594373]
He wrote that one month after the SEC filing.
On the Newcomer podcast in December 2025, Hoffman said he "never had any engagement with Epstein other than fundraising for MIT."
The SEC filing. Well, it says otherwise.
Not just the emails. But government records themselves.
III. THE NEOTENY FUNDS
Hoffman didn't just invest alongside Epstein at BlockStream. He co-anchored an entire fund with him.
Joi Ito ran a venture capital fund called Neoteny. Hoffman was the anchor investor. Epstein was the other anchor.
Government filings prove both funds were real -- and show exactly how deep the money went.
SEC Form D for Neoteny 3, LP (filed April 9, 2015):
> Entity: Neoteny 3, LP
> Executive Officer and Director: Joichi Ito
> Total offering: $10,000,000
> Total amount sold: $5,100,000
> Number of investors: 14
> Minimum investment: $50,000
> Type: Venture Capital Fund
> Address: 15 Walnut Street, Suite 150, Wellesley MA 02481
April 2015: $1,000,000 wire transfer FROM Southern Financial LLC (Epstein's USVI entity) TO First Republic Bank, payee NEOTENY 3 LP. [EFTA01285436]
April 2018: $30,000 distribution FROM Neoteny 3 LP TO Southern Financial LLC. Wire originator address: "15 Walnut Street, Wellesley MA." [EFTA01287502]
The same address on the SEC filing.
The SEC filing proves the fund existed. The DOJ bank records prove Epstein's money went in and distributions came back out. The addresses match to the street. Epstein put $1 million into a $5.1 million fund -- approximately 20% of the entire fund's capital.
SEC Form D for Neoteny 4, LP (filed June 22, 2018):
> Entity: Neoteny 4, LP
> Executive Officer and Director: Joichi Ito
> Total offering: $50,000,000
> Total amount sold: $6,600,000
> Number of investors: 4
> Minimum investment: $1,000,000
Four investors. A $50 million target. $6.6 million raised.
Ito to Epstein: "Fund is ready to go and Reid is putting in 15M. OK to sign you up for 15M?" [EFTA02471838]
Hoffman and Epstein were solicited for $15 million each. The SEC filing confirms this fund was real and had only four investors when it was filed.
Hoffman and Epstein were coordinating. Donating in the fund of their mutual friend.
Neoteny 4 investor materials found in Epstein's files: "Reid Hoffman, co-founder of LinkedIn, has committed $5-10 million as an anchor investor in Neoteny." [EFTA00805921]
Hoffman's name was in the pitch deck. The pitch deck was in Epstein's files. The fund was filed with the SEC.
IV. THE BAUME DINNER TO THE BIOHUB BOARD
Hoffman to Epstein, July 2015: "I have a dinner with joi, ed boyden, mark zuckerberg... You would be welcome to join." [EFTA00691059]
After the dinner, Zuckerberg's assistant emailed Epstein: "At the party Mark requested Jeffrey send his contact details." [EFTA02074070]
Hoffman personally invited a convicted sex offender to a dinner with the CEO of Facebook. He bought out the restaurant. The CEO asked the sex offender for his contact information. We published this in Round 1.
Here is what government records show happened next.
IRS Form 990 for Chan Zuckerberg Biohub Inc (EIN 81-1669175):
> Board of Directors:
> Mark Zuckerberg
> Priscilla Chan
> Reid Hoffman
> Sam Altman
Net assets: $1,390,000,000
IRS Form 990 for the Aphorism Foundation (EIN 46-4347021):
> Grants to Chan Zuckerberg Biohub:
> 2020: $2,000,000
> 2021: $2,000,000
> 2022: $2,000,000
> 2023: $2,000,000
> 2024: $2,000,000
> Total: $10,000,000
Hoffman and Zuckerberg sit together on the board of a $1.4 billion biomedical research institution. Hoffman's personal foundation has given it $10 million. The relationship that Epstein brokered at a dinner in 2015 is today embedded in the governance structure of one of the largest scientific philanthropies in the country -- and funded at $2 million per year from the foundation that carries the name Epstein workshopped.
V. THE HOFFMAN-ITO FINANCIAL PIPELINE
Hoffman says his Epstein interactions were "at the request of Joi Ito, for the purposes of fundraising for the MIT Media Lab."
The implication: Ito was the connection. Hoffman was doing Ito a favor.
Government filings show the money flowed the exact opposite direction.
Hoffman lied.
IRS 990 Schedule B for the Momoko Ito Foundation (EIN 77-0462154):
> Contributors, tax year 2020:
> REID HOFFMAN, San Francisco, CA: $250,000 (noncash)
> Ladybug Foundation: $50,000
> US Federal Government PPP: $33,300
> Joichi Ito (2022): $10,000
> Joichi Ito (2024): $5,000
Reid Hoffman is the single largest donor to Joi Ito's personal foundation -- $250,000 in 2020, the year after the Epstein scandal forced Ito to resign from MIT, the New York Times board, the Knight Foundation, MacArthur, and Creative Commons.
Ito himself only contributed $10,000 two years later.
IRS Form 990 for the Aphorism Foundation, tax year 2024:
> Grant to Connected Learning Alliance, Dana Point, CA: $1,865,000
IRS Form 990 for Connected Learning Alliance (EIN 30-0976576):
> Board Member: JOICHI ITO, 1 hr/wk
Hoffman's billion-dollar foundation gave $1.87 million to an organization where Joi Ito sits on the board.
IRS Form 990 for the Aphorism Foundation, tax year 2024:
> Grant to Safecast Global, Wellesley, MA: $50,000
IRS Form 990 for the Momoko Ito Foundation, tax years 2020-2022:
> Grant to Safecast Japan, Tokyo: $155,000
> Grant to Safecast Global, Wellesley, MA: $42,434
> Grant to Safecast Global, Wellesley, MA: $4,000
> Grant to Safecast Global, Wellesley, MA: $3,895
Both foundations fund the same tiny nonprofit. The Momoko Ito Foundation funds Safecast exclusively -- it is the foundation's only grantee. Hoffman's Aphorism Foundation also gives to Safecast.
Three financial channels connecting Hoffman to Ito, exposed by IRS filings alone:
1. $250,000 direct to Ito's personal foundation (2020)
2. $1,865,000 to an organization where Ito is a board member (2024)
3. Shared funding of the same nonprofit (Safecast, 2020-2024)
Hoffman didn't interact with Epstein at Ito's request. Hoffman was Ito's patron. The financial relationship survived the scandal. The IRS receipts prove it.
VI. THE FOUNDATION THAT NEVER FILED
Hoffman says every interaction was "for the purposes of fundraising for the MIT Media Lab." The donations to MIT were routed through a single entity: the J. Epstein VI Foundation. "The Jeffrey Epstein VI Foundation wishes to remain strictly anonymous with this gift." [EFTA00634805]
This is the organization Hoffman says justified the entire relationship. Here is what government records show about it.
USVI Secretary of State records:
> Entity: J. EPSTEIN VIRGIN ISLANDS FOUNDATION, INC.
> Entity ID: 551494
> Registered: June 15, 2000
> Status: Voluntarily Dissolved -- November 6, 2024
> Registered Agent: Business Basics VI, LLC
> Address: 9053 Estate Thomas, Suite 101, Charlotte Amalie
IRS 990 electronic filing database: Zero returns found.
The organization Hoffman says justified his entire relationship with Jeffrey Epstein -- the charitable vehicle that routed anonymous donations to MIT, Harvard, and other universities -- has no public tax returns.
We don't know how much money flowed through it, where it went, or who approved the grants.
The IRS either has paper returns that haven't been digitized, or the foundation never filed at all.
The same registered agent -- Business Basics VI, LLC -- at the same address handled three other Epstein entities:
> HYPERION AIR, LLC -- registered October 19, 2012 (Epstein's aircraft)
> JEGE, LLC -- registered October 19, 2012 (Epstein's personal assets)
> SOUTHERN COUNTRY INTERNATIONAL, LTD -- registered March 4, 2014
Twenty-seven days after Hyperion and JEGE were registered, Epstein testified before the USVI Economic Development Commission to apply for tax benefits. [186-40]
An expert later testified that "USVI gave Mr. Epstein's companies over $300 million in tax breaks." [290-07]
The corporate infrastructure behind the "MIT fundraising" was a web of USVI shell companies registered to the same agent at the same address -- the same entities that secured $300 million in tax breaks and operated Epstein's private aircraft.
VII. THE BILLION-DOLLAR FOUNDATION
Hoffman's central claim is that his interactions with Epstein were "for the purposes of fundraising for the MIT Media Lab."
IRS Form 990-PF for the Aphorism Foundation (EIN 46-4347021):
> President and Treasurer: REID HOFFMAN
> Net assets: $1,053,909,102
> Grants paid in 2024: $43,449,493
> Number of grants: 27
> Sole contributor: REID HOFFMAN (all contributions are noncash stock transfers)
> Total contributed 2022-2024: $76,300,000
Reid Hoffman controls a billion-dollar charitable foundation funded entirely by his own stock transfers. He personally directs $43 million in annual grants. In 2024 alone, his foundation gave:
> MIT: $1,000,000
> Harvard: $1,500,000 (2022)
He did not need a convicted sex offender to help him raise money for MIT. He writes the check himself.
For comparison, Joi Ito -- the man Hoffman blames for the Epstein introduction -- runs the Momoko Ito Foundation.
IRS Form 990-PF for the Momoko Ito Foundation (EIN 77-0462154):
> Net assets: $6,629
Hoffman's foundation: $1,053,909,102.
Ito's foundation: $6,629.
Hoffman didn't need Ito for access to Epstein, and he didn't need Epstein for access to MIT.
The government filings make the power dynamic clear.
VIII. THE SCORECARD
Here is what Reid Hoffman has said publicly. Here is what government filings show.
He said "a few interactions for MIT fundraising."
SEC Form D: Director of BlockStream Corp. Bumped Epstein from $50K to $500K. [EFTA01917472]
SEC Form D: Co-anchor investor in Neoteny 4 alongside Epstein. Four investors. $50M target. [EFTA02471838]
IRS 990: His own foundation gives $1M/year to MIT directly.
This is not fundraising. This is a financial partnership.
He said "never a client."
> IRS 990-PF: Built the Aphorism Foundation -- the exact vehicle class Epstein recommended. [EFTA01752261]
> SEC 13G: LinkedIn stock held in "Reid Hoffman & Michelle Yee Living Trust" -- the structure Epstein designed. [EFTA00979879]
> DOJ: Epstein workshopped the name. Hoffman took notes. [EFTA00979884]
He said "note to self, Google before going."
> DOJ: Hoffman offered to manage Epstein's press crisis 39 days after the island. [EFTA01756112]
He said the Baume dinner was Ito's idea.
> DOJ: "reid just invited me to join at your dinner, I accepted." [EFTA00850338]
> IRS 990: Hoffman and Zuckerberg now share a $1.4B board seat. Hoffman's foundation sends $2M/year.
He said interactions were "at Joi Ito's request."
> IRS 990: Hoffman is the largest donor to Ito's personal foundation -- $250K in 2020.
> IRS 990: Hoffman's foundation gives $1.87M to an org where Ito is a board member.
The money flows from Hoffman to Ito, not the other way.
The 2,015 DOJ documents told the story in Epstein's words. The government filings tell it in Hoffman's -- sworn under penalty of perjury to the SEC, IRS, and FEC.
Every Form D filing is a declaration to the Securities and Exchange Commission. Every 990 is a return filed with the Internal Revenue Service. Every 13G is a beneficial ownership report filed under penalty of law. These are not emails that can be dismissed as "taken out of context." They are legal documents signed by the people who filed them.
2,015 DOJ documents. Government filings from the SEC, IRS, FEC, and USVI Secretary of State. Every quote verbatim. Every filing number verifiable.
See ya, Reid.
I built an AI system to trawl through every single email in the Epstein files.
I have reported these results previously.
But then it occurred to me:
What if I cross-referenced all of the emails to the entire ecosystem of available public government records?
Then we wouldn't have just emails. We would emails anchored in factual reality by government records -- sworn declarations to the United States government.
I published several rounds of the Reid Hoffman Files.
The first: 1,531 DOJ documents showing 40+ meetings, island visits, mansion sleepovers, estate planning, and a five-year personal relationship Hoffman called "a few interactions for MIT fundraising."
The second: 484 more documents -- jets, drivers, helicopter logistics, Epstein's pilot changing flight plans "because he likes that Reid Hoffman." [EFTA00321136]
2,015 documents. Every quote verbatim. 16 public claims tested. 13 rated FALSE.
This is the third round. It's different.
This time the evidence doesn't come from Jeffrey Epstein's emails. It comes from the United States government: SEC filings, IRS 990 returns, FEC campaign finance records, and USVI corporate registries.
Public records that anyone can verify. Records that Hoffman cannot dismiss as "taken out of context" or "mischaracterized."
Government filings don't have "context problems". They're sworn declarations to federal agencies.
I. THE TRUST NAMES
Hoffman says he was "never a client of Epstein's."
On December 28, 2013, Epstein emailed Hoffman a seven-point wealth architecture plan. [EFTA01752261] [EFTA00979879] [EFTA01944661]
Here is what Epstein advised.
And here is what government filings show Hoffman built.
Epstein advised: "charity structures. DAF. CRT. NIMCRUTS. CLT. GRATS." [EFTA01752261]
IRS Form 990-PF: Hoffman created the Aphorism Foundation, a private foundation with $1,053,909,102 in net assets and $43 million in annual grants.
A private foundation is the vehicle class Epstein recommended.
Epstein advised: "all personal stock held in various trust names (easily understood. aphorism sounds more like an NSA program)" [EFTA00979879]
IRS Form 990-PF: The foundation is called the Aphorism Foundation. Epstein was workshopping what to call Hoffman's trusts. He thought "Aphorism" sounded too opaque. Hoffman used it anyway.
A convicted sex offender had opinions about the name on a billion-dollar IRS filing.
Epstein advised: "pour over will. if michele is left. if neither is left. protection. protection protection." [EFTA01752261]
SEC Schedule 13G: Hoffman's LinkedIn shares were held in the "Reid Hoffman & Michelle Yee Living Trust."
Michele is Michelle Yee, Hoffman's wife. Epstein was planning for what happens if she outlives him. The government filing confirms Hoffman followed Epstein's advice and created a joint trust structure.
Epstein advised: "llinkn stock split? all personal stock held in various trust names." [EFTA00979879]
SEC Schedule 13G: Hoffman held 46.6% of LinkedIn through the living trust in 2012, declining to 11.06% by 2016. Every share ran through the trust structure Epstein advised on. At the time of the Microsoft acquisition -- $26.2 billion -- Hoffman's 11% stake was worth roughly $2.9 billion.
Epstein advised: "Mitcoins, p coins. The DAf can issue p-coins." [EFTA01752261]
SEC Form D: Ten months later, Hoffman became a Director of BlockStream Corp -- a bitcoin infrastructure company. Filed October 2, 2014. $16.2 million offering.
Epstein advised Hoffman to invest in crypto in December 2013.
Hoffman invested in crypto in October 2014.
Epstein advised: "personal cash flow needs. bank borrowings at least for awhile make more sense than after tax sales." [EFTA00979879]
SEC Schedule 13G: Hoffman's LinkedIn ownership declined gradually -- 46.6% to 16.6% to 13.2% to 11.7% to 11.1% -- over four years.
Not a sudden liquidation. Consistent with the borrow-against-stock strategy Epstein recommended.
Hoffman replied to the seven-point plan: "Very helpful. :) Thx. Did take notes." [EFTA00979884]
Six of seven points are confirmed or consistent with government filings. The trust is real. The wife is in it. The LinkedIn stock ran through it. The foundation carries the name. The crypto investment followed. The ownership trajectory matches the advice.
This was not a casual conversation at a fundraiser. This was a financial blueprint for a $2.9 billion estate.
The man who drew it was a convicted sex offender.
The man who followed it was Reid Hoffman.
II. THE BLOCKSTREAM INVESTMENT
The DOJ documents show that Hoffman didn't just follow Epstein's crypto advice -- he cut Epstein in on the deal.
Hoffman used his BlockStream board seat to bump Epstein's allocation from $50,000 to $500,000. Other investors took haircuts so Epstein could get 10x preferential access. [EFTA01917472]
SEC Form D for BlockStream Corp (filed October 2, 2014):
> Entity: BlockStream Corp
> Offering: $16,204,995
> Amount sold: $15,184,998
> Related person: Reid Hoffman -- Director
Hoffman is listed as a Director on a federal securities filing. The DOJ documents show he used that directorship to funnel a convicted sex offender preferential investment access.
This is not "MIT fundraising". This is a registered investment where Hoffman personally brokered Epstein's participation.
Joi Ito confirmed it to Larry Summers in November 2014: "Jeffrey and Reid are both involved in BitCoin stuff as is Danny Hillis." [EFTA02594373]
He wrote that one month after the SEC filing.
On the Newcomer podcast in December 2025, Hoffman said he "never had any engagement with Epstein other than fundraising for MIT."
The SEC filing. Well, it says otherwise.
Not just the emails. But government records themselves.
III. THE NEOTENY FUNDS
Hoffman didn't just invest alongside Epstein at BlockStream. He co-anchored an entire fund with him.
Joi Ito ran a venture capital fund called Neoteny. Hoffman was the anchor investor. Epstein was the other anchor.
Government filings prove both funds were real -- and show exactly how deep the money went.
SEC Form D for Neoteny 3, LP (filed April 9, 2015):
> Entity: Neoteny 3, LP
> Executive Officer and Director: Joichi Ito
> Total offering: $10,000,000
> Total amount sold: $5,100,000
> Number of investors: 14
> Minimum investment: $50,000
> Type: Venture Capital Fund
> Address: 15 Walnut Street, Suite 150, Wellesley MA 02481
April 2015: $1,000,000 wire transfer FROM Southern Financial LLC (Epstein's USVI entity) TO First Republic Bank, payee NEOTENY 3 LP. [EFTA01285436]
April 2018: $30,000 distribution FROM Neoteny 3 LP TO Southern Financial LLC. Wire originator address: "15 Walnut Street, Wellesley MA." [EFTA01287502]
The same address on the SEC filing.
The SEC filing proves the fund existed. The DOJ bank records prove Epstein's money went in and distributions came back out. The addresses match to the street. Epstein put $1 million into a $5.1 million fund -- approximately 20% of the entire fund's capital.
SEC Form D for Neoteny 4, LP (filed June 22, 2018):
> Entity: Neoteny 4, LP
> Executive Officer and Director: Joichi Ito
> Total offering: $50,000,000
> Total amount sold: $6,600,000
> Number of investors: 4
> Minimum investment: $1,000,000
Four investors. A $50 million target. $6.6 million raised.
Ito to Epstein: "Fund is ready to go and Reid is putting in 15M. OK to sign you up for 15M?" [EFTA02471838]
Hoffman and Epstein were solicited for $15 million each. The SEC filing confirms this fund was real and had only four investors when it was filed.
Hoffman and Epstein were coordinating. Donating in the fund of their mutual friend.
Neoteny 4 investor materials found in Epstein's files: "Reid Hoffman, co-founder of LinkedIn, has committed $5-10 million as an anchor investor in Neoteny." [EFTA00805921]
Hoffman's name was in the pitch deck. The pitch deck was in Epstein's files. The fund was filed with the SEC.
IV. THE BAUME DINNER TO THE BIOHUB BOARD
Hoffman to Epstein, July 2015: "I have a dinner with joi, ed boyden, mark zuckerberg... You would be welcome to join." [EFTA00691059]
After the dinner, Zuckerberg's assistant emailed Epstein: "At the party Mark requested Jeffrey send his contact details." [EFTA02074070]
Hoffman personally invited a convicted sex offender to a dinner with the CEO of Facebook. He bought out the restaurant. The CEO asked the sex offender for his contact information. We published this in Round 1.
Here is what government records show happened next.
IRS Form 990 for Chan Zuckerberg Biohub Inc (EIN 81-1669175):
> Board of Directors:
> Mark Zuckerberg
> Priscilla Chan
> Reid Hoffman
> Sam Altman
Net assets: $1,390,000,000
IRS Form 990 for the Aphorism Foundation (EIN 46-4347021):
> Grants to Chan Zuckerberg Biohub:
> 2020: $2,000,000
> 2021: $2,000,000
> 2022: $2,000,000
> 2023: $2,000,000
> 2024: $2,000,000
> Total: $10,000,000
Hoffman and Zuckerberg sit together on the board of a $1.4 billion biomedical research institution. Hoffman's personal foundation has given it $10 million. The relationship that Epstein brokered at a dinner in 2015 is today embedded in the governance structure of one of the largest scientific philanthropies in the country -- and funded at $2 million per year from the foundation that carries the name Epstein workshopped.
V. THE HOFFMAN-ITO FINANCIAL PIPELINE
Hoffman says his Epstein interactions were "at the request of Joi Ito, for the purposes of fundraising for the MIT Media Lab."
The implication: Ito was the connection. Hoffman was doing Ito a favor.
Government filings show the money flowed the exact opposite direction.
Hoffman lied.
IRS 990 Schedule B for the Momoko Ito Foundation (EIN 77-0462154):
> Contributors, tax year 2020:
> REID HOFFMAN, San Francisco, CA: $250,000 (noncash)
> Ladybug Foundation: $50,000
> US Federal Government PPP: $33,300
> Joichi Ito (2022): $10,000
> Joichi Ito (2024): $5,000
Reid Hoffman is the single largest donor to Joi Ito's personal foundation -- $250,000 in 2020, the year after the Epstein scandal forced Ito to resign from MIT, the New York Times board, the Knight Foundation, MacArthur, and Creative Commons.
Ito himself only contributed $10,000 two years later.
IRS Form 990 for the Aphorism Foundation, tax year 2024:
> Grant to Connected Learning Alliance, Dana Point, CA: $1,865,000
IRS Form 990 for Connected Learning Alliance (EIN 30-0976576):
> Board Member: JOICHI ITO, 1 hr/wk
Hoffman's billion-dollar foundation gave $1.87 million to an organization where Joi Ito sits on the board.
IRS Form 990 for the Aphorism Foundation, tax year 2024:
> Grant to Safecast Global, Wellesley, MA: $50,000
IRS Form 990 for the Momoko Ito Foundation, tax years 2020-2022:
> Grant to Safecast Japan, Tokyo: $155,000
> Grant to Safecast Global, Wellesley, MA: $42,434
> Grant to Safecast Global, Wellesley, MA: $4,000
> Grant to Safecast Global, Wellesley, MA: $3,895
Both foundations fund the same tiny nonprofit. The Momoko Ito Foundation funds Safecast exclusively -- it is the foundation's only grantee. Hoffman's Aphorism Foundation also gives to Safecast.
Three financial channels connecting Hoffman to Ito, exposed by IRS filings alone:
1. $250,000 direct to Ito's personal foundation (2020)
2. $1,865,000 to an organization where Ito is a board member (2024)
3. Shared funding of the same nonprofit (Safecast, 2020-2024)
Hoffman didn't interact with Epstein at Ito's request. Hoffman was Ito's patron. The financial relationship survived the scandal. The IRS receipts prove it.
VI. THE FOUNDATION THAT NEVER FILED
Hoffman says every interaction was "for the purposes of fundraising for the MIT Media Lab." The donations to MIT were routed through a single entity: the J. Epstein VI Foundation. "The Jeffrey Epstein VI Foundation wishes to remain strictly anonymous with this gift." [EFTA00634805]
This is the organization Hoffman says justified the entire relationship. Here is what government records show about it.
USVI Secretary of State records:
> Entity: J. EPSTEIN VIRGIN ISLANDS FOUNDATION, INC.
> Entity ID: 551494
> Registered: June 15, 2000
> Status: Voluntarily Dissolved -- November 6, 2024
> Registered Agent: Business Basics VI, LLC
> Address: 9053 Estate Thomas, Suite 101, Charlotte Amalie
IRS 990 electronic filing database: Zero returns found.
The organization Hoffman says justified his entire relationship with Jeffrey Epstein -- the charitable vehicle that routed anonymous donations to MIT, Harvard, and other universities -- has no public tax returns.
We don't know how much money flowed through it, where it went, or who approved the grants.
The IRS either has paper returns that haven't been digitized, or the foundation never filed at all.
The same registered agent -- Business Basics VI, LLC -- at the same address handled three other Epstein entities:
> HYPERION AIR, LLC -- registered October 19, 2012 (Epstein's aircraft)
> JEGE, LLC -- registered October 19, 2012 (Epstein's personal assets)
> SOUTHERN COUNTRY INTERNATIONAL, LTD -- registered March 4, 2014
Twenty-seven days after Hyperion and JEGE were registered, Epstein testified before the USVI Economic Development Commission to apply for tax benefits. [186-40]
An expert later testified that "USVI gave Mr. Epstein's companies over $300 million in tax breaks." [290-07]
The corporate infrastructure behind the "MIT fundraising" was a web of USVI shell companies registered to the same agent at the same address -- the same entities that secured $300 million in tax breaks and operated Epstein's private aircraft.
VII. THE BILLION-DOLLAR FOUNDATION
Hoffman's central claim is that his interactions with Epstein were "for the purposes of fundraising for the MIT Media Lab."
IRS Form 990-PF for the Aphorism Foundation (EIN 46-4347021):
> President and Treasurer: REID HOFFMAN
> Net assets: $1,053,909,102
> Grants paid in 2024: $43,449,493
> Number of grants: 27
> Sole contributor: REID HOFFMAN (all contributions are noncash stock transfers)
> Total contributed 2022-2024: $76,300,000
Reid Hoffman controls a billion-dollar charitable foundation funded entirely by his own stock transfers. He personally directs $43 million in annual grants. In 2024 alone, his foundation gave:
> MIT: $1,000,000
> Harvard: $1,500,000 (2022)
He did not need a convicted sex offender to help him raise money for MIT. He writes the check himself.
For comparison, Joi Ito -- the man Hoffman blames for the Epstein introduction -- runs the Momoko Ito Foundation.
IRS Form 990-PF for the Momoko Ito Foundation (EIN 77-0462154):
> Net assets: $6,629
Hoffman's foundation: $1,053,909,102.
Ito's foundation: $6,629.
Hoffman didn't need Ito for access to Epstein, and he didn't need Epstein for access to MIT.
The government filings make the power dynamic clear.
VIII. THE SCORECARD
Here is what Reid Hoffman has said publicly. Here is what government filings show.
He said "a few interactions for MIT fundraising."
SEC Form D: Director of BlockStream Corp. Bumped Epstein from $50K to $500K. [EFTA01917472]
SEC Form D: Co-anchor investor in Neoteny 4 alongside Epstein. Four investors. $50M target. [EFTA02471838]
IRS 990: His own foundation gives $1M/year to MIT directly.
This is not fundraising. This is a financial partnership.
He said "never a client."
> IRS 990-PF: Built the Aphorism Foundation -- the exact vehicle class Epstein recommended. [EFTA01752261]
> SEC 13G: LinkedIn stock held in "Reid Hoffman & Michelle Yee Living Trust" -- the structure Epstein designed. [EFTA00979879]
> DOJ: Epstein workshopped the name. Hoffman took notes. [EFTA00979884]
He said "note to self, Google before going."
> DOJ: Hoffman offered to manage Epstein's press crisis 39 days after the island. [EFTA01756112]
He said the Baume dinner was Ito's idea.
> DOJ: "reid just invited me to join at your dinner, I accepted." [EFTA00850338]
> IRS 990: Hoffman and Zuckerberg now share a $1.4B board seat. Hoffman's foundation sends $2M/year.
He said interactions were "at Joi Ito's request."
> IRS 990: Hoffman is the largest donor to Ito's personal foundation -- $250K in 2020.
> IRS 990: Hoffman's foundation gives $1.87M to an org where Ito is a board member.
The money flows from Hoffman to Ito, not the other way.
The 2,015 DOJ documents told the story in Epstein's words. The government filings tell it in Hoffman's -- sworn under penalty of perjury to the SEC, IRS, and FEC.
Every Form D filing is a declaration to the Securities and Exchange Commission. Every 990 is a return filed with the Internal Revenue Service. Every 13G is a beneficial ownership report filed under penalty of law. These are not emails that can be dismissed as "taken out of context." They are legal documents signed by the people who filed them.
2,015 DOJ documents. Government filings from the SEC, IRS, FEC, and USVI Secretary of State. Every quote verbatim. Every filing number verifiable.
See ya, Reid.

Here’s how March 2026 unfolded: A month of gaps, risks, and small wins in Mumbai’s transport system—from safety hazards and infrastructure neglect to accessibility failures and heritage preservation—all with Mumbai’s oldest tabloid, the evergreen Mid-Day. (1/10)
The month started with a complaint from Mumbai's AC local train commuters on CR of windows blocked by ads due to poor workmanship and the dangers of vinyl and fire hazards!
Then was the story of catering getting affected on Mumbai trains as Sewri base kitchen shut due to lack of LPG and premium trains started getting ready-to-eat meals. Railways then approached the government to make catering as essential service!
1/ Wypowiedź @MagdaBiejat otworzyła coroczną inbę o "święconkę", czyli wielkanocne błogosławienie pokarmów (błogosławienie, nie święcenie). Skąd inba? Bo ten zwyczaj w obecnym kształcie jest bez sensu. Kiedyś rozumiałem jeszcze argumenty za, ale widzę coraz mniej. Zapraszam na 🧵
2/ Zacznijmy od tego, skąd ten zwyczaj się w ogóle wziął. Kiedyś Wigilia Paschalna celebrowana była w sobotę rano (powód był dziwaczny - przy ówczesnym poście eucharystycznym wierni musieliby być cały dzień na czczo - nie ma to jak włożyć na swe barki ciężarów nie do uniesienia).
3/ Ale skoro rano było już po Wigilii Paschalnej, to mieliśmy nową, poświęconą wodę, bo ważnym elementem liturgii jest komponent "chrzcielny". Zatem błogosławiono pokarmy tą nową wodą żywą. "Starej" wody święconej już nie było, bo "pozbywamy" się je w Wielki Czwartek.

THREAD🧵: Madhu Kishwar vs Madhu Kishwar
When your 50-year-long compromised career is your biggest indictment!
Will you believe me, if I tell you that Kishwar was a Leftist Naxal when Naxalism peaked; became a Feminist when feminism peaked, was Anti-Ram Mandir when Hindutva was weak only to become pro-Hindutva warrior as BJP began ascending. Later she became pro @narendramodi when he was sure of winning in the run up to 2014.
And now, she Anti-Modi as she didn't get any favours, she was expecting on her own!
BTW, she had a small fling with UPA as well, writing "Dear Yasin Malik... With good wishes" after following Manmohan Singh's separatist engagement line post UPA's 2009 bigger mandate.
Hers is a story of wearing multiple identities in five decades: a smooth operator, bad liar and a worse propagandist- Lady Natwa
Let me first begin by sharing how I had warned about the intellectually fraudulent side of Madhu Kishwar way back in 2013 (check image 2).
Now that she has crossed all limits, the reality of this fraud @madhukishwar, who is hurling fake, baseless and motivated allegations against PM, @narendramodi must come out before everyone.
She has called PM Modi a "Satanic ruler," a "CIA plant," and a man with "personality disorders."
Let me remind everyone that in 2014, this same fraud wrote a 400-page book comparing the same PM Modi to Mahatma Gandhi, toured the country defending him, and fought for him so aggressively on television that the man she was attacking sued her for Rs 1 crore defamation. Now she is using allegations of that very man and as rejected by the SC to attack PM....
.....twelve years later.
Same person.
Same source.
Same allegations.
Nothing changed
........except her equation with power.
And the liar is basing her attacks on the SC-rejected allegations of the same Pradeep Sharma who sued her for defamation when she was defending Modi against him in 2013.....Again, same story repeats, same source, opposite sides, and 13 years apart.
What I am going to share is based on the court records, police FIRs, peer-reviewed academic papers, ED press releases, and her own published work.
It is important to set the record straight and for everyone to see.
Here comes a 🧵on the sordid saga of Madhu Kishwar with proofs at every stage!

KISHWAR's मौकापरस्ती PATTERN
Every major ideological shift in Kishwar's five-decade career has tracked where power, momentum, or institutional support was located at that time.
Not once has she been ahead of the curve. Consider this
>> She started as a Naxal sympathiser when Naxalbari was sweeping campuses.
>> She adorned the hat of a CPI(M)/SFI activist when the Left was the power centre.
>> She became a feminist leader through Manushi when the women's movement was cresting.
>> She was anti-Ram Janmabhoomi when Hindutva wasn't in power.
>> She turned pro-Hindutva when BJP started growing.
>> She followed UPA's separatist line after UPA won bigger in 2009.
>> She became Modi's biggest defender when his PM win was certain.
>> And now she turned into a most viciously lying attacker when the Rajya Sabha seat she expected never came.
Never ahead of the curve. Always riding it. And the moment the wave stopped carrying her, she found a new one.

KISHWAR'S NAXAL ORIGIN??
The woman who calls everyone "Urban Naxal" came from that exact world.
Two independent sources confirm her Naxal and CPI(M) origin.
Grokipedia documents her "participation in the Naxalbari movement and affiliation with the Communist Party of India (Marxist)."
Professor Shamsul Islam (Delhi University, The Quint 2020) independently confirmed that "Kishwar started her career with the Naxalbari movement and then went over to the CPM."
Two sources. Same conclusion. This is not anyone's allegation. This is documented record.
She was Miranda House Student Union President. SFI fielded her as DUSU candidate in 1972 (per Sunday Guardian). Later, she moved to JNU where Left was dominant in politics.
Her entire formative political education was in the CPI(M)/SFI ecosystem.
And today she has the audacity to call others "Urban Naxal." Madam, aap toh khud wahi se aayee hain!

Two independent sources confirm her Naxal and CPI(M) origin.

"Yeah! But thats OK to be worn down, and I dont want people to be cleared of being worn down"
