There's a lot of fuss about which institutions accepted money from Epstein, and who dined one evening at the same table with him.
There is much less interest, it seems, on the big picture: we're talking about someone who had been convicted for sexual abuse of minors and sex trafficking, with about 34 minors involved; convicted for just one case, allowed to benefit from a non-prosecution agreement, given a joke sentence and let go. The judge who allowed this said "I was told he belonged to intelligence and he was above my pay grade". I had a hunch this judge might have died later in mysterious circumstances, so I googled him. He's not dead: he became the US Secretary of Labour with Trump.
So Epstein was free to fly around with his private jet full of underage sex slaves, to and from his private island, and to keep meeting and forming ties with powerful people from all over the world- industrialists, politicians, presidents, royals. In his safe they found money, diamonds, and a fake passport with stamps from many countries.
The other day I was reading a random conversation on the internet from a couple of months ago. One person was recapping these facts, another was replying: "if this is true, Epstein's life in prison will be very short". A few days later he was dead. The guards were not watching and the cameras were not working.
The picture that is forming is that of someone managing a high end prostitution ring, for many years, probably with the intent of collecting blackmail material, and probably working for some foreign intelligence.
That Elon Musk, Minsky or anyone else might have met him at a dinner table should be absolutely the last of our concerns.
