Im thinking as well that, if i follow, they target anyone showing potential and figure out what their weakness is. I wouldnt be surprised if compromised men were drugged or tricked somehow so i would not automatically condemn before we know for sure.
There is also the theory that people often
willingly give kompromat to show they will be loyal. Just like a criminal gang will have an aspiring member do a crime on camera. These people being extremely naive walking into seemingly obvious traps doesn't seem that likely, but what do I know. Also as I've said these people didn't need Epstein to live out any perversion they wished, you can do a lot with a billion I imagine.
Also as I've said, I think Epstein most likely did a lot of money laundering. His Mentor Robert Maxwell scammed pensioners out of an astronomical amount of money and it was never recovered! Some specualte this money was somehow funneled to fund Epstein in the beginning.
I think there definitely were intelligence connections. Mossad obviously, but also then necessarily CIA and FBI, probably MI6 and numerous others. It's impossible that especially US intelligence didn't look into him, they were working him and with him. So it's not just the pedo stuff that is a problem as I've said repeatedly. For the public the pedo stuff is quite naturally the biggest issue, they don't care as much about any intelligence stuff but it might be the the foremost concern of "deep states," why the oppose any closer looks.
