Some how he made people feel safe about sharing their darkest fantasies and innermost perverted thoughts. There is an art to getting people to open up like that. I bet he was a good listener and at least part psychiatrist (feeding the perversion rather than "curing" them)

Absolutely. I’ve been sort of thinking about how many people he had communications with and how many of them trusted him but that seems to have been his job.

He had tons of people who considered him an entirely trustworthy friend, allowing photos to be taken in highly compromising environments.

Yeah it's definitely a skill. But at the same time, I suspect it's easy to get people to open up about their desires when you're their friend/pimp/drug dealer/connections guy. Everyone probably thought they had bigger dirt on him than vice versa and he had dirt on everyone. Like, if you think the elites are specially qualified, it's probably easy to think that there's none of the risk of someone talking since everyone is a victim with no sway or implicated.
