Nobel laureate and Bangladesh’s unelected overlord Prof. Muhammad Yunus emerges not just as a peripheral figure in the sex offender’s shadowy web but as a man whose lifelong pattern of seeking physical closeness with womenโregardless of age, status, or contextโraises chilling questions about his character.
From his early days as the son of a notorious razakar and Pakistan Muslim League collaborator, Dula Mia Saudagor, to his current role propping up a regime of impunity, Yunus has been dogged by allegations of inappropriate intimacy, harassment, and exploitation.

The latest unsealed Jeffrey Epstein documents, while not directly indicting him in criminal acts, spotlight his tangled associations with predators and enablers, fueling suspicions that his “hugs” and “networks” mask a deeper, darker obsession with female proximity that spans decades and continents.
A Legacy Of Lecherous Liaisons
Born into a family stained by 1971’s atrocitiesโhis father, a usurer goldsmith and razakar who aided Pakistan’s genocidal forcesโYunus has cultivated an image of the benevolent banker. But peel back the facade, and a disturbing pattern emerges: a man who, since the 1960s, has mingled intimately with hundreds of women across ages and borders, marrying twice while allegedly maintaining “kept” women like Lamiya Morshed and student coordinators as personal companions.
Sources close to Grameen Bank whisper of systemic sexual harassment, where female employees faced coercion into his bed or professional ruin. “If they didn’t comply willingly, Yunus would harass them relentlessly,” insiders claim, painting a picture of a predator hiding behind philanthropy.

Social media is awash with damning photos of Yunus’ “hugs”โeuphemisms for unwanted embraces that scream boundary violations. Whether clutching celebrities, development workers, or young admirers, these images reveal a man intoxicated by physical contact, his arms wrapping around women young enough to be granddaughters or old enough to be peers, all under the guise of “warmth” and “solidarity.”
One such snapshot from his “life in pictures” shows Yunus enveloping a group of women, his grin betraying a thrill beyond professional courtesy. Another, from his own X account, captures him in a tight embrace with a female colleague, her discomfort palpable even in pixels.
Britannica and Wikipedia profiles, meant to lionise him, inadvertently showcase this tactile tyranny through archived images of Yunus pressing close to women at events, his hands lingering in ways that scream entitlement.

This isn’t innocent affection; it’s a lifelong compulsion, researchers argue, driven by an opportunist mind that exploits power imbalances for personal gratification.
Yunus’ Perverted Pals And Island Intrigues
The Epstein documents drag this sleazy saga into sharper focus, naming Yunus 13 times amid a cesspool of sex traffickers and enablers. No smoking gun of island romps? Perhaps, but as one victim noted of Epstein’s girlfriend Ghislaine Maxwellโthe “mastermind” behind underage traffickingโ”evidence” in this dark world isn’t public; it’s buried in whispers and complicit silences.
Yunus’ “close friend” Isabel Maxwell, Ghislaine’s sister and a Grameen America adviser, introduced him to cartoonist Matt Groening, leading to a Simpsons cameo. Isabel’s courtroom loyalty to her convicted sibling screams family ties that Yunus conveniently ignores.

Then there’s the Clinton cabal: Bill Clinton, whose island photos and flight logs scream perversion, received hefty donations from Yunusโup to $400,000 for Hillary’s 2016 campaign. Hillary herself threatened Bangladesh over Yunus’s probes, while aide Huma Abedin, now married to Alex Soros (mentioned in Epstein files for island parties), built Yunus’ US empire through these sordid networks.
Alex Soros’s recent Bangladesh jaunt post-Yunus’ power grab? Coincidence? Hardly. George Soros appears 458 times in the files; his son’s “new boy” references ooze depravity.

Other Epstein echoes: Saudi businessman Mohammed Abdul Latif Jameel on Grameen Bank’s board; Mark Epstein at Yunus-linked galas; even peripheral mentions of BRAC and icddr,b in Epstein’s “charitable” schemes, like failed cholera “help” in Bangladesh. Yunus’ name pops up in emails about trips to Bangladesh, probiotic plots, and climate chatsโinnocent on paper, but laced with the pedophile’s predatory playbook.
Critics connect the dots: Yunus’ hugging habit, harassment history, and Epstein enablers suggest he likely fundraised for his “illegal empire” on that hidden island, indulging in teen trysts. “Whether Yunus visited Epsteinโs island, engaged in sex trafficking, or spent time with underage girls cannot be confirmed,” one report coyly notes, but as a “US asset,” he’s shieldedโfor now.
Unanswered Questions
These files don’t just expose associations; they illuminate Yunus’s predatory pattern, where “networks” double as hunting grounds for intimacy. From razakar heir to regime puppeteer, his life screams exploitationโof the poor via microloans, of women via coerced closeness. Bangladesh deserves better than a leader whose “peace” prize hides a pervert’s playbook.
As documents drip out, the truth will out: Yunus isn’t a saint; he’s a sleazeball in savior’s clothing, his arms always outstretchedโfor the wrong reasons.
