Sarah Ferguson has only ever admitted to accepting a paltry £15,000 from Jeffrey Epstein. This paltry sum rather begs the question: why did she send him a groveling email praising him as a “generous and supreme friend to me and my family.”
Fifteen grand hardly seems to warrant risking everything to tell the world’s most notorious sex criminal that he has a right to feel “hellaciously let down” by you, as the stunning emails published by two newspapers this weekend showed.
And does a measly few thousand in pocket change explain why you would write: “How can I thank you enough? You are a friend indeed, and I will one day give it back to you. But I can not have the words to thank you now.”
You know what does make sense of such effusion?
Two million.
