I'm not going to put the entire article here because my phone gets weird when I try to copy the whole thing. Instead. Here's how it ends

If, after reading the series, you feel I have oversold the pitch, and have enticed you with a “false promise,” feel free to sue me for “trafficking” — you’ll probably win.

I'm no expert, but I feel like you could say "This law doesn't actually go after the people it should, targeting innocent people instead." and you'd be fine, not doing...whatever this was. I don't often come away from an article with the feeling that the author has women tied up in their basement, but this is one of those times.

    Michael Tracey is an Epstein truther, in the sense that he doesn't think the epstein files have proof of anything illegal in them and there's no proof he did any sex trafficking. He also routinely defends (other) pedophiles and sex abusers.

    Yeah, and I'm sure his intention with this article was to try and make me think the opposite of that. But if I didn't think he was claiming "Epstein did nothing wrong" before reading this, I certainly think he does now. Which I'm guessing wasn't the point, but it's the only real takeaway I got from it.
