Jeffrey Epstein’s lawyer and accountant were essentially co-conspirators in his sex crimes, according to a lawsuit filed Wednesday by New Mexico Attorney General Raúl Torrez.

A press release from the attorney general’s office states that attorney Darren K. Indyke and accountant Richard D. Kahn “held leadership roles” in Epstein’s entities. They “helped facilitate, finance, and conceal Epstein’s sex trafficking operation, including the abuse of girls and young women at Zorro Ranch in Santa Fe County.”

Some of the shocking allegations in the legal complaint include: “Indyke repeatedly asked bankers at Deutsche Bank AG … how he could withdraw [large amounts of] cash from Epstein’s accounts without triggering an alert with the government, leading the bank to formally exit its relationship with Epstein in December 2018.”

Released Micro.blog 3.8 for iOS, adding iPhone Duo support, new options to show the conversation from a post, Micropub fixes, and other layout improvements. Should be a good update!

Back before the Duo announcement, I blogged:

I still think what I’d really want is a foldable iPad mini with no outer screen.

I’m only halfway through John Gruber’s review, and I’m even more convinced that’s what I want:

The outer device is, by far, the worst iPhone Apple has ever made. It’s a miserable fat little thing. The inner device is a splendid, joyful, beautiful tablet, with a UI that out-iPads the iPad.
