Crispin Odey approached a private investigator who had done work for disgraced movie producer Harvey Weinstein to discuss the “massive witch hunt” he faced after fresh claims of sexual misconduct.
“Harvey had access to a lot of so much more attractive girls, I have to tell you,” Odey joked during the 17-minute phone call. “If you lose an arm, you only get ten grand — you know, if someone touches you on the bottom you might be able to get a hundred grand,” he said elsewhere in the call.
