I would have never heard about Negus-Fancey and Wright, but now I have! Streisand at its finest.

"Wright" is a very common last name. You really are grasping at straws.

Still, there is a match. And "Negus" is a very rare last name.

Somehow my family name does not show up ;)

In the UK, “Wright” is the 14th most common surname. It appears in Chaucer, and appears to cover approximately 900,000 people globally.

“Negus” is indeed less common - most prevalent in Ethiopia (where it means “king”) - seems to be 6-7000 people globally currently. However, that _isn’t actually the name_ of the CEO in this case, which is “Negus-Fancey” - an English double-barreled name with different etymology: akin to the relationship between Java and JavaScript.

I understand the desire to make someone who has allegedly done something bad look worse by ties to other people in the service of conspiracy theory. I can’t tell if your surname is “Flesch” or not (it seems no less reasonable than your own assumptions about names) - but if it is, other bearers of that name have committed _far_ worse crimes than financial fraud.

		If apparent nepo kids from families called "king" do stupid things, and they potentially link to much, much bigger scandals, then it is worth pointing out - because there might be an important pattern. There's a search term match in the Epstein files for family names of both CEO and CFO worth investigating, and people like you show up and spend a lot of effort on invalidating it using cognitive biases. Obviously those guys are not sharing a lot of information, or the investigative blog posts (e.g. this thread) wouldn't need to exist. As you said, for "Negus-Fancey" to appear, some "Negus" husband needs to have a "Fancey" wife whose last name would otherwise been lost. "Negus-Fancey" as double-barred name depicts a family of movie producers/directors [1] which puts them into same role of the same industry as many other Epsteins [2].
