>>510247427Since all of this started back in 2005, I think the powers that be thought it would go away in some form or another. But either through poor planning, execution, or general retardation of those involved their efforts failed and we are where we're at now. They also greatly underestimated the internet and how quickly it would undermine their own communication pipelines in being able to manage the situation.
Not any one failure can be attributed to the Epstein problem, but rather a myriad of smaller failures that happened at the right time and in the right sequence that prevented them from being able to manage the situation towards a more favorable conclusion.
