The names, obviously drawn up by Weinstein himself, were circulated to a group enlisted by the film maker to smother asserts that he had sexually annoyed or ambushed various ladies.
The report was incorporated in mid 2017, around nine months previously the tempest that exploded on 5 October when the New York Times distributed a progression of lewd behavior charges against Weinstein.
