Børge Brende resigned as president and CEO of the World Economic Forum on Thursday following revelations about his connections to Jeffrey Epstein. Brende, a former Norwegian foreign minister who joined the WEF in 2017, said he was stepping down so the Forum could "continue its important work without distractions."

An independent review into Brende's ties with Epstein concluded with "no additional concerns beyond those previously disclosed." WEF co-chairs Andre Hoffmann and Larry Fink announced that Alois Zwinggi would serve as interim president and CEO during the leadership transition.

Brende dined with Epstein three times between 2018 and 2019 and exchanged text messages and emails with him. Brende stated he was completely unaware of Epstein's past and criminal activities and regretted not conducting a more thorough investigation into his background.

Jeffrey Epstein was convicted of procuring a minor for prostitution in 2008 and spent about a year in prison. He died in prison in 2019 in what was ruled a suicide while facing charges of sex trafficking underage girls, and an investigation into his activities had been reopened that year.

Brende's resignation comes at a natural transition point after 8.5 years of transformative leadership. An independent review found no additional concerns beyond previously disclosed information, confirming the organization's transparency. The leadership change allows the Forum to move forward seamlessly under capable interim leadership.

The WEF chief's resignation exposes another elite figure brought down by Epstein connections, attending dinners at the sex offender's home years after his 2008 conviction. A simple Google search would have revealed Epstein's criminal history, making claims of ignorance absurd. This scandal adds to the WEF's mounting credibility crisis following its founder's departure.

This month alone, the relentless drip of Jeffrey Epstein's unsealed files has triggered a cascade of high-profile departures. From Lord Peter Mandelson to Larry Summers and a Nobel-winning Columbia neuroscientist, resignations swept elites, yet victims and the public demand more: arrests, trials and prison time — justice, not just quiet exits.
