James Patterson → Jeffrey Epstein
Event Description
According to Wolff's representations, James Patterson had minimal involvement in the book attributed to him about Jeffrey Epstein. Sources allegedly confirmed that Patterson functioned only as a minimal consultant while John Connolly performed all material research and writing work, raising questions about the legitimacy of Patterson's authorship.
Quoted Evidence
“Patterson has had little more than a minimal consulting role in the book, and that Connolly has functioned in every material way as the book's researcher and writer. We believe Patterson's 'authorship' of the book will not stand up to scrutiny.”
