Billionaire paedophile Jeffrey Epstein had a wild dream to create ‘superhumans’ using AI and genetic engineering and this led him to fund a scientific conference where the world-renowned scientist Stephen Hawking was invited.
After Epstein was charged for his twisted crimes in 2006, strange claims about Professor Hawking emerged in court documents. However, there’s no suggestion that any of the scientists were involved in wrongdoing.
But Epstein was so concerned about the rumours that he asked his ex-lover, British socialite Ghislaine Maxwell, to offer a reward for any evidence proving them false. He even sought information from friends of Virginia Giuffre, who accused him of sexual abuse and trafficking. The details of Epstein’s attempts to squash the rumour were revealed in an email from Epstein to Maxwell, which was made public by a New York judge’s order.

In a 2015 email to “Gmax”, Epstein suggested offering a reward to anyone who could help disprove Giuffre’s allegations. He specifically wanted to debunk claims about a dinner with former US president Bill Clinton, and the rumour about Stephen Hawking participating in an underage orgy in the Virgin Islands.
Stephen Hawking, the renowned physicist, was reliant on his wheelchair and voice synthesiser due to motor neurone disease at the time of the alleged orgy in 2006. He attended the scientific conference funded by Epstein on St Thomas in the US Virgin Islands, just a month before Epstein faced police charges in Florida for illegal sexual activity with a minor.
Hawking, one of the top minds in science, was accompanied by other leading physicists, cosmologists, and theorists, including three Nobel laureates. During a break in the conference, Hawking was escorted to Epstein’s secluded island, Little St James.
He was seen at a barbecue there, but this visit only gained attention in 2015 when court documents implicated Little St James as the venue for “orgies” involving Giuffre, “numerous other underage girls”, and Prince Andrew – something that Buckingham Palace has fervently denied.
Epstein, known for his interest in science, had big plans to improve the human race. A New York Times article from 2019 revealed Epstein’s interest in transhumanism, a concept that aims to advance humans through technologies like genetic engineering and AI.
Epstein began openly discussing his plans in the early 2000s. One scientist even claimed that Epstein aimed to impregnate 20 women at once at his Zorro Ranch in New Mexico.
Despite pleading guilty to soliciting a minor in 2008, his interest didn’t fade. He spent most of his prison sentence working at his scientific institute, the Florida Science Foundation.
There’s no suggestion that any of the scientists were involved in wrongdoing. Hawking passed away aged 76 in 2018.
