The article dismisses the various theories ("Illuminati", etc) about the film by pointing out that powerful people in fact have fairly sordid affairs rather than satanic/black mass/ritualistic events.

It's worth pointing out that Sydney Pollack's character uses this same exact argument in the film (in the billiard scene). "We fucked her brains out, the end." Clearly, that was not what was happening in the movie, and that wasn't the point of the movie either.

The article mentions Jeff Bezos, but they might have mentioned Jeffrey Epstein instead. For instance.
