  "account": "In 2011, Cami Clark, the wife of Anthropic CEO Dario Amodei, sought investors for Eddice, a women-focused pornography startup. The company aimed to revolutionize the adult entertainment industry. Clark's business partner, Michelle Capocefalo, introduced the pair to Jeffrey Epstein, a registered sex offender. Epstein, who was then introduced to the two women by literary agent John Brockman, invited them for dinner to discuss potential investment.\n\nClark followed up with Epstein, reminding him of their earlier conversation. She proposed that they had a \"free luxury porn company\" and asked if it \"ringed a bell.\" Epstein responded with a playful retort, saying \"Yes, a loud gong.\" Although Epstein declined to invest in Eddice, he continued to correspond with Clark for about two years. During this time, she invited him to a housewarming party and connected with him on LinkedIn.\n\nAfter Eddice, Clark's entrepreneurial ventures shifted toward women's health technology. She worked with her then-partner Eric Schmidt, who invested in one of her later ventures focused on women's health. Clark also played a role in introducing other influential figures to Amodei, such as Mira Murati, who later became OpenAI's chief technology officer. Clark's influence at Anthropic has grown as her husband's company has become more involved in the political sphere.",
