>The government is notorious for being corrupt and inefficient So is the private sector. Excellence is rare. Such is life, welcome to earth.
The private sector goes out of business. The government lives until it collapses.
Usually due to government intervention.
Corrupt and bloated businesses also "live until they collapse". I trust in democracy more than markets.

I am not normally a conspiracy theorist.. but I have come to suspect the same. One example, despite all that has come up in the this case, and the number of times Ghislaine Maxwell's name has been brought up, there is no word of her whereabouts. Unless we think she is some Jason Bourne level expert that can just make herself disappear, I can think of only three explanations - 1) The law enforcement agencies are choos…
If she's sitting in a cafe in some random country, let's say Morocco or Bermuda, what is their law enforcements motivation for finding her? As far as I understand, there is no arrest warrant out for her, nor any Interpol involvement. They've got better things to do, so I wouldn't be so quick to assume law enforcement around the world is in on this.
If even a fraction of what is alleged about Epstein's schemes is true then whoever has her can obtain the kind of dirt that multi-billion dollar intelligence agencies can only dream of.
As another commenters said she is probably in Israel. By virtue of connections and it having a very big stake in not pissing off the US too much she is unlikely to get the $5 wrench treatment there.

Your surprise that this happens under democracy- does that change your political views? It doesn't change mine. The government is notorious for being corrupt and inefficient. I hear this and it makes me horrified of the thought of government takeover of a sector.
I've reluctantly come to the conclusion that the simplest explanation for investigations being constantly spiked or important evidence repeatedly disappearing during Epstein's life, is that enough high-ranking officials got invited to "parties" and slept with his underage sex slaves (or worse) on video, and were then blackmailed. The fact that even after his life there aren't gobs of collaborators being arrested also…
Becoming a billionaire with a private island that way, though - that's new.
Records filed by the estate on Friday indicate that Southern Country had $693,157 in assets when Mr. Epstein died on Aug. 10. Then, in mid-December, the estate transferred $15.5 million to Southern Country in two checks. Southern Country sent back $2.6 million, leaving the total it received at $12.9 million. The documents filed by the estate do not give a reason for the transfers. It’s also not clear what Southern Co…
The FBI still hasn't raided Epstein's New Mexico ranch. Probably a lot of potentially fruitful leads are not being pursued.

Is it that easy to start a new bank?
The difficulty of that exercise is supposed to be directly proportional to the AML/KYC reputation of the jurisdiction granting the charter.
Exceptions abound, of course, and possession of incriminating video of a bank executive might make it a lot easier.

There are enough reasons to believe that Jeffrey Epstein might have operated a honeypot for Mossad, and Ghislaine Maxwell was his handler:

That would explain why Jeffrey Epstein’s injuries look more like murder than suicide, according to a pathologist:

And why the surveillance footage from the night of his first suicide attempt went missing:

Personally, I believe that he was a kind of person who would have never killed himself. And that's not the only thing he had in common with Donald J. Trump:

> The accuser says Trump raped her repeatedly at parties thrown by since-convicted pedophile Jeffrey Epstein, who was widely known to throw wild parties with young women and girls.
Needless to say, the current US policy in Middle East has given Israel almost everything it has ever asked for, and what no other Western nation has agreed with:

> Trump's decision to recognize Jerusalem as Israel's capital was rejected by a majority of world leaders. The United Nations Security Council held an emergency meeting on December 7 where 14 out of 15 members condemned Trump's decision, but the motion was vetoed by the United States.
