General Discussion

Unless one prophesizes the absolute worst case scenario is the one and only "true" one, someone is going to be unhappy with your opinion. I've been thinking the most likely scenario is that Epstein was running a honey pot type of operation trying to get kompromat on wealthy people (perhaps to them extort them?) for a long time, but I've also been very open to new evidence to convince me that it's incorrect. But it never comes.

Now, I'm not saying the people who "partook" are innocent by any stretch, I'm just pointing out they may have known less than we collectively tend to assume.

I mean Epstein was shady AF, and where his money came from is shady. To the degree he purposefully involved 'others', that whole thing may have been an "op" of his own, and it's possible the only minor he trafficked in this way (i.e. to his rich buddies like Andrew) was Guiffre, because he had her VERY manipulated and under his control. But nobody else has ever made scale of the claims she made about OTHER'S direct involvement. Nor did she herself claim 1st hand knowledge of other victims being "shared" in the manner that she was. The exception to that in her book was her claim of an "orgy" at Epstein's island, involving girls who "looked young", but also were foreign, didn't speak English, she didn't know them, where they're from, etc.

When you look closely, the evidence of a serious sort of a "pedo-ring" is just not there.
