66. I didn't say he was bragging about it, where are you getting that?

I'm saying the logical thing to do if you're Epstein is to NOT let people know you're soliciting minors to have sex for money. Same principle with how most people get away with most crimes. They hide it as much as possible, esp. if it's a shameful act that the vast majority of people disapprove of.

I'm saying that creating a "prostitution ring" would increase your odds of being caught A LOT, esp. if everyone knows the girls are underage trafficking victims. If you're him, how can you be sure someone you try to involve doesn't just go "WTF are you talking about, creep?", and turn you in? Every person you made "in the know" by involving them in your "ring" is another chance to get busted. So why would he have done so?

The available facts are more suggestive of an operation to compromise people (perhaps using Guiffre in particular, since she is the only known victim to have publicly claimed to have been told to give "sexual massages" to Epstein's rich buddies), than an actual "ring" where lots of girls are, like, sent to lots of different men, but the men all knew each other, what each other was up to, to the point they organized a perfectly executed "suiciding" of Epstein in jail, etc.

I'll just leave it at this: as more info hopefully comes out, we'll see what happens. You can come back and read me the proverbial riot act if my logic turns out to be completely off-base, okay? I promise, I will mea culpa like a mofo on this, friend.
