What's interesting is that almost all the people involved with Epstein are people who suck, but probably most of them weren't really aware of the child sex trafficking. Epstein's "day job" was basically being the guy who introduced people to each-other. Rich and powerful people wanted to be part of his social circle so they could be introduced to other rich and powerful people. Because Epstein introduced people, he knew about deals early, which let him make money from them.

Sure, Epstein had young-looking women around him, but that's always true of rich guys. I'm sure he vetted the people he introduced to the really young ones carefully because he didn't want the whole thing to blow up.

Now, most people assume that everybody who had anything to do with Epstein is a pedophile. So, they're hating the right people for the wrong reasons... and I can live with that.
