Harvey Weinstein's Use Of Black Cube To Spy On Accusers Becomes Topic At Trial

[Devil Child]

Harvey Weinstein’s hiring of Black Cube, a private intelligence agency run largely by former officers of Mossad and other Israeli intelligence agencies, became a key topic on an otherwise subdued day at his rape trial in New York.

The trial is likely to heat back up Friday when prosecutors call Jessica Mann to the witness stand. Mann, a hairdresser and former actress, is one of two women whose allegations against Weinstein form the basis of the criminal case against him. She alleges that Weinstein raped her in her hotel room in 2013.

Black Cube was retained by Weinstein via his law firm, Boies Schiller. According to reporting by the New Yorker and others, agency investigators reportedly adopted false identities in order to obtain information about Weinstein’s accusers, among them Rose McGowan and Annabella Sciorra. The role of Black Cube, once it was revealed two years ago, aroused enough suspicion that federal prosecutors looked into charging Weinstein in 2018.

Dev Sen, a corporate attorney from Boies Schiller, gave brief testimony on Thursday, confirming that the firm had hired Black Cube at Weinstein’s behest.

The Weinstein case highlights the need to regulate with a fury these so called "private intelligence agencies." Disgusts me that the rich and powerful can utilize a rent-a-Mossad/CIA/FSB for their selfish gain.

1. Do I understand this correctly: Weinstein's being represented by the law firm of Boies Schiller -

And that one of chief accusers against Epstein and Prince Andrew - Virginia Giuffre - is being represented by David Boies?

2. You understand very correctly

Interwoven and rotten to the core.

3. This is NOT the behavior of a man who had consensual sex with women.

This is the behavior of a wealthy, powerful man, with friends in high places, who could insulate him from being held accountable for his deranged and predatory actions. That he held the fate of so many young hopefuls in his hands twists the balance of power to put him in complete control.

At the end of the day, he's still a power rapist.
