A man who falsified his resume at Bear Stearns in 1976 ended up as Chairman of Financial Trust Company, member of the Trilateral Commission and CFR, Rockefeller University board member, and Harvard Visiting Fellow. This episode traces how Epstein manufactured corporate credentials through transitive legitimacy - from resume fraud to Wexner power of attorney to purchased board seats - and how the collapse triggered CEO resignations at L Brands, Apollo, Barclays, and MIT.
