The Summers connection described in the article is a little more than a chance meeting at an event. In addition to their earlier ties, the article says that he and Epstein met more than a dozen times after Epstein's conviction and prison stint. Summers reached out to Epstein to raise money for his wife's $1M online poetry nonprofit (LOL) and Epstein donated $110k. The nonprofit eventually donated a large amount to an anti-sex-trafficking organization to make up for taking the Epstein money, but the fact that they solicited the money after Epstein's conviction suggests that their backtracking was more for PR than for actual concern about his history.
