>>510581907 (OP)Epstein didn’t just run a child sex ring, he also ran a normal international brothel form wealthy men. Diddy was involved with similar
Casual sex is extremely dangerous for elite men, pregnancy, rape accusations, etc.
So there are layers to this. The surface layer makes zero sense, just some billionaire with zero income being a billionaire. Just below that layer, you have a man that sells not precisely sex, but discretion. While sex was his main product, someone in the discretion business has no problem with anything, be that drugs or some even darker desires. But sex (with appropriately aged prostitutes) was the honeypot.
Every single person in the Epstein files, at minimum, engaged in prostitution.
As trust was built and other discrete services were hinted at, some moved into dark places offered by Epstein: torture, child rape, murder; everything has a price, but the discretion is the reason Epstein was trusted.
And so they party, all the while with evidence being collected; the drugs they do, the kinks they perform… the things the explicitly came to Epstein to keep under wraps.
That’s the genius of the whole operation: he was the guy you go to when you wanted something to be secret. He had all their darkest and most depraved actions in evidence because of this.
Unnecessary but obligatory mention of the layer below that, which is that Mossad used this information for their own benefit. Honestly that layer is boring and well understood enough that it’s not worth getting into.
This is all pretty obvious stuff, no real speculation required. Its when you start to connect the dots, and go another layer deeper, that things become increasingly deranged.
