> It may be that we’ll discover that Epstein got rich by blackmailing people whom he had encouraged or enabled to commit abuse. I doubt it, but it’s possible.
providing a loose supposition and then immediately dismissing it is not addressing something directly. i am not an expert on the epstein situation, but from what i understand, lessig’s supposition is a rather naive one. it seems it is much more likely that epstein was making money from the services he provided and even more likely that he was bankrolled by some other entity or entities.
the fact that lessig, as a supposed law expert, is just grasping at straws with unrealistic guesses to recover his and his friend’s position is really depressing.
