The MacGuffin
The Epstein sex trafficking rap is the MacGuffin. The real scandal is in his MONEY LAUNDERING activities. That is the source of his money, a commish on every transaction.
Whether they can get to the bottom of that abyss is an open question with his death. Now if those activities come to light..it will read like the who is who in the world. |

That is certainly a plausible explanation for his apparent wealth. Based on his connections, it also seems likely.
At the same time, I strongly suspect he'd resort to good, old fashioned blackmail here and there. How'd he get Leslie Wexner to sign over the deed to his Manhattan mansion?

Quote:
I read an article that Epstein's job with one of the investment houses was to track down laundered money...where he became an expert..it is one jump from knowing how it is done to doing it... More than the sex for Bill the Clintons loved him for his ability to hide money...Epstein was connected to the foundation...ouuuuu now it gets good.

Dare we hope the shoe will eventually drop on the Clinton crime family?
Yeah, I know..probably an impossible dream, but dream I must.

It's certainly providing some lovely entertainment.
The British are having the time of their lives too. They certainly are after blood in their hunt for Ghislaine Maxwell. And the Brit's seem to be reveling in the fact that poor Prince Andrew is likely to have a meltdown. |

Not all that long ago, I heard him lovingly dubbed "Randy Andy". I guess that view has changed?
