Thomas Pritzker, the Executive Chairman of Hyatt Hotels and cousin of Illinois Gov. J.B. Pritzker, has resigned amidst growing scrutiny over his association with Jeffrey Epstein, the infamous convicted sex offender.
Pritzker admitted to exercising "terrible judgment" by maintaining contact with Epstein and Ghislaine Maxwell, expressing deep regret for not distancing himself sooner.
Revelations of their communications, including emails detailing personal invitations as recent as 2019, have heightened public outrage over their connections.
His resignation follows a surge of interest in Epstein's network, leading to increased scrutiny and resignations of other influential figures linked to him.
Pritzker’s departure has been framed as a necessary move for the integrity of Hyatt Hotels, with Mark Hoplamazian stepping in as the new chairman and CEO.
The fallout from Epstein’s scandal continues to spark critical discussions about the relationships between the elite and their connections to criminal activities, particularly within the realms of sex trafficking.
