Still trying to wrap my head around how at that time and in that context and when so many technology CEOs and celebrity/politically active people seem involved, they were all sending these plain text emails, didn't bother the least to try to make communication more secure and private

    Rich people unfortunately don't need to fear being prosecuted. They know very well that they are above the law.

    Epstein wasn't a 'real' rich guy, he was an uplifted peasant fall guy. Dude was a fucking teacher until someone made him the designated head of the worldwide child trafficking ring.

    LOL you say that like any billionaires are "self made". He was a billionaire who was closely connected to to elite people around the world. That's the only reason this is such a scandal.

    Most billionaires either inherit obscene wealth or luck into an insane ROI by accident (or both, like Elon Musk)

    What I'm saying is Jeffrey Epstein was made a billionaire by other billionaires specifically to be the guy who takes the fall if the shit hits the fan.

    Assuming it was the state-backed honeypot it seems to be, plus the fact that the rich don't face consequences unless they turn on their own kind, that explains most of the wide-reaching clientele and the lack of concern for hiding it.
