I think the issue with the client list is like probably only half the people on there had sex with minors. Like apparently fucking Stephen Hawking visited the island, there is a good chance he had no idea whats going on there, just the rich venturist Epstein wants to hang out with you and potentially fund your endeavors.

That also would be the best strategy, get some high profile people on your list/visit your island, maybe during the week you sent all the girls home/locked them in the basement. So now that the list is threatened to be released even the people who didn't rape girls have incentive to keep it hidden.
