I hesitate to do so as my area of =xpertise is now philanthropy and formerly technology, Money is a =roduct of my past endeavors and the without a doubt , one =f the smartest people i have ever met, /u am well aware of his past =roblems , but i am a firm believer that everyone deserves a =econd chance. that is what makes this country great. he =s neither fluent in spanish french or italian however he is =ighly conversant and multilingual in the areas of =he most advanced science. He can exquisitely conduct = seminar in fields as diverse as evolutionary biology, computational =euro science.oreven the highly esoteric ndimensional =anifolds. ,as well as music as a lens into the brain. His =nterests are far ranging and unlike many that simply repeat back =hat they have read , he is creative and original in fields such ase , =ignal intelligence, power law distributions , and =ncryption. I am well aware that in his past he has =ade some awful decisions, and Im sure he would have done things =ifferently if he had the opportunity to do them over. however he =as paid his debt to society, asked his friends and family for =orgiveness and has continued his charitable work that he began even =ecades before his travails. i have had =he privilege to meet the worlds greatest minds, and i can easily =ay that Jeffrey s is amongst the best of =hose. I have utmost confidence in his =ntegrity. I have dealt with him for a number of years on both =ides of a negotiation and say with certainty that I;d rather be =n his side. He has been in the =illionaire business for longer than almost anyone else. His =nsight into the unique problems of the super wealthy, has been =nvaluable to many others that i know. He found a niche in the early 80s =iscerning the burdens of hyper wealth and from his time on the board of =ockefeller or his time at the trilateral commission, the common =efrain from those he has come in contact with Jeffrey has made me think =ifferently about. ....//. =/span> He has an extraordinary =bility with numbers, complex concepts. mixed with a =nbsp;sometimes brutal honesty, refreshing, a sense of humor =hat some find highly cultured others find just outright =illy, His homes are probably the best =ollection of real estate in the united states. A private island , =hat some describe as a tribute to megalomania. and a ranch in new =exico that is truly beyond imagination and my favorite townhouse in NY. =nbsp; His attention to detail is remarkable . I find =t sad that he doesn't have children of his own, but makes up for it by =aintaining close friendships that have lasted for =ecades. His chariblae instincts have =een honed over many years and his advice and judgment has been =nvaluable in several instances. His =bility to explain complex derivatives or concepts on the bleeding edge =f science in layman's terms is part of his teaching =ene. I have met many people who =riticize those who maintain a friendship with Jeffrey, and a group =hose opinions are impervious to change , however, in the vast =ajority of cases , it is with those that have not had the opportunity =o sit with him watch as his mind performs an intellectuall ballet. =nbsp;gracefully moving from one difficult topic and EFTA_R1_02006653 EFTA02684697 transitioning to =nother seemingly unrelated , only at the end to have the thread pulled =ightly and ending with an elegant coda. =inale.
