Epstein may have the record for pimping at scale. There have been pimps for several thousand years. There have been pimps using blackmail. That's not new. Becoming a billionaire with a private island that way, though - that's new.

That is all about the high profile clientele.

Intelligence agencies never confirm or deny such things, and how can you debunk something that's not currently possible to prove or disprove? I think almost no one, including the media, knows what really happened. There are a huge array of different forking possibilities.

If the intelligence community can't publicly deny that perhaps the most prolific child rapist in known history was an asset, we have serious problems. Regardless of standard policy.

You...don't know much about intelligence agencies, do you?

Time to watch...let's see..."Scandal", "Snowden", Canadian TV show "Intelligence", Shooter...those are just the "fictional" accounts.

Was Epstein an asset? No!

Was Dahmer an asset? No!

Was Foobar an asset? No comment.

It's not in their best interest to publicly deny any assets I don't think.

>“Bank regulators expect applicants to be candid,” Jesus wept. Is this it? That's the level of scrutiny?

I know, right? I read this:

"As a bank regulator, I’d be outraged to learn that an applicant had misled me in that way."

And laughed out loud. I feel insulted just reading that.

You want to FOIA the secret parts of the government? Lol

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…

Bingo. Based on just what's publicly known about him and Ghislaine Maxwell, it's pretty obvious they're both tied with Israeli intelligence and were collecting blackmail material the Mossad could use to "influence" powerful people. Sexual blackmail is intelligence 101.

Yes, because 90% of HNers are ex-CIA. We should have known this, it's intelligence 101.

Where there's a will, there's a way. Start squeezing her assets. Socialites cannot live without spending hundreds of thousands dollars a year which is difficult to do when one's accounts are frozen.

And risk upsetting Israel?

You have a point.

How many billionaires and high-ranking officials could one guy set up before rumors started circulating and people caught on?

And why wouldn’t they have had him knocked off sooner?

>Even more fun? You know who owns that yacht now? DJT. Any reference on that?

He's confused on the yachts (easy to do, I suppose). DJT bought Adnan Khashoggi's yacht. Emad is his cousin. Emad's yacht was bought by Maxwell. Adnan's yacht was bought by Trump, which was foreclosed upon a few years after he purchased it.

b-b-b-but trump!! wah!!!!

This is only a problem if the state has sanctioned mass child rape or necrophilic cannibalism. If the state did sanction those actions, we deserve to know.
