>>509950977 (OP)Let's use common sense about the FBI's assertions, under the pretense that everything the FBI is saying is true.
>Don't worry, this gets good.The implication from the FBI and DOJ is that Epstein had thousands of victims and acted alone, given that they found no evidence to charge any third parties.
>What are the greater implications of this?A single billionaire is capable of doing this to thousands of people before going noticed, because of their wealth and the leverage and utility it provides them.
Therefore any future risk analysis for sex traffic and human exploitation will absolutely account for this new data point.
If billionaires are more likely to produce volumes of horrendous crime like this, then they are in a precarious position of being one fuck up from probable cause at all times.
Public opinion SOMETIMES actually does follow the data, and child sex trafficking is one of those keystones.
Public opinion will follow the hard data.
If they are trying to protect powerful people, the Epstein situation is a loss either way.
This stacks more against them, the next falls may be from even loftier heights.
