    Geez I know it shouldn’t be the main takeaway from this but Epstein sounds like a total imbecile in these emails.

    Makes one wonder how an imbecile managed to maintain a ‘secret’ child sex trafficking ring for decades.

      open secrets exist for this exact reason and is exactly the reason why anyone who had more than one interaction with the guy should be investigated heavily.

      My guess is that they didn’t really intend to keep it secret anyways. Probably many many people knew about it (at least many thousands!) because otherwise how did Epstein get his clients? His clients would have to have known about his business, and that means that even more people (who were not clients) had to know about it too.

      My guess is everybody kinda knew it but nobody bothered to tell the public, because why would you burden the public with what happens at the nobility’s castles?

      By knowing the right people, bribing the right people, blackmail the right people, and have shit-tons of money to do all of the above while have zero sense of moral to execute all of the above.

        As a professional email reader, these all read like typical boomer emails to me. And Jeffrey was, in fact, a boomer. I wouldn’t read too hard into his capitalization, because he probably didn’t even know where his account settings were to change that.

          I know a bunch of GenZish folks that write like this. It’s just general poor writing skills/laziness.

      It was likely coordinated by Mossad, the CIA, and other untouchables within the global intelligence community to gain leverage over oligarchs and political classes worldwide.

      Turns out secret police are a magnet for pedophiles and psychopathic authoritarians. Who could have fucking seen that coming?

      Agreed. Doesn’t sound very calculating at all, unless that was actually part of an elaborate facade.
