"Page, who with co-founder Sergey Brin still controls a majority of voting shares in Alphabet (né Google), is currently the eighth-richest man in the world — worth about $100 billion. But even that much money can’t make a federal case disappear. Prosecutors in the U.S. Virgin Islands, who are suing JPMorgan Chase and Deutsche Bank for allegedly facilitating Jeffrey Epstein’s criminal activities, are trying to talk to Page about his relationship with the deceased sex trafficker. But they cannot find the guy. Maybe he’s on his superyacht? Or flying a fighter jet? Or hiding out in New Zealand? Or the Caribbean? Or Fiji?
There is no indication that Page was involved in sex trafficking. The Virgin Islands case is going after the banks for essentially turning a blind eye to red flags about Epstein’s crimes, and the extent of the inquiry is fairly narrow. According to the Justice Department, Page is “a high-net-worth individual who Epstein may have referred or attempted to refer to JPMorgan.” Still, efforts to contact him have captured the media’s attention. Surely, Page has someone sending him relevant CNBC links? He probably has well-compensated public-relations specialists working for him — but, even as a crisis-PR amateur, I can’t help wonder whether it isn’t just a very bad look to be seen running away from this kind of thing.
Then there’s Shaq. He is seven-foot-one. His likeness is probably being broadcast on a television commercial for Gold Bond or Frosted Flakes right now. But he cannot be found by the people who want to serve him in a case alleging that he fraudulently shilled for FTX before its collapse last year. The closest anyone got was when a process server tossed court papers at his car’s windshield as Shaq sped away from his gated compound."
