its crazy that we still dont know how he made his money, one can put together a reasonable theory, but nonetheless we dont know

This Epstein case is horrific and the young women deserve justice. It is quite likely that some of our faves are implicated but we must follow the facts and let the chips fall where they may - whether on Republicans or Democrats. #WeSaidEnough #MeToo https://t.co/2mvskwQwW1— Christine Pelosi (@sfpelosi) July 7, 2019

In with the "lfg" chorus for sure, but the cynical part of me predicts that there are enough important names on that list that this decision is going to be appealed and overturned and the public will never see the full list.

My only commentary is that I feel sorry for all the people about to discover their their dad was an associate of Jeffrey Epstein. That’s bleak. Beyond that, open the door and let out the list

My mom said there are abundant rumors in Ohio that the gov (R) had been an associate. if voters buy the “I was going undercover” farce or any categorical denials, I’ll be shocked. Would love to see that old timey smug asshead go down.

Oops sorry for dupe
Supposedly just being on the flight log isn't automatically incriminating (he would fly people to/from places as a favor) and the real shit is whether they went to the island.

I believe anyone who was in these records could ask to have their name redacted, right? which means I assume that anyone of note has done that.

For someone who purports to be extremely righteous (aka aforementioned gov) it would be seen pretty badly to have “even” accepted favors from Jeffrey Epstein Gimme all those lists pls

i looked at the a-z list in the wall street journal and its weird to see woody allen and noam chomsky together like that but none of the tidbits seemed all that incriminating.

well, there was the one guy who gave epstein millions of dollars and that whole thing seemed fishy but who knows...

oh and also the part about possibly trying to blackmail bill gates...i didn't know about that one.

chomsky's defense to the WSJ a few weeks ago was extremely defensive, basically "it's none of your business" which doesn't reflect very well on him so I have no doubt that blowhard was up to shit
― I? not I! He! He! HIM! (akm), Tuesday, 2 January 2024 15:56 (five months ago) link
yeah i read that he was claiming he took a short 30 minute flight from NY to Boston (the length of the flight matters?!) with an artist (Woody Allen -- as if his artistry has anything to do with this situation?) For someone who has spent his life arguing, his arguments are extremely weak.

using woody allen as your alibi for being involved in a pedo ring is, pretty dubious lol

easy to see why epstein might be interested in consulting with the guy who literally wrote the book on manufacturing consent tbf

i think it was just pure starfucking, get a bunch of celebrities in a room, who cares is one of them is a critic of the ruling class if hes famous
then of course he had his core business the details of which i would really like to know, suspect most of these guys were not involved in that, but some were, obvs not every rich guy wants to be part of your pedo ring so you have to meet a lot of them to find the right ones
― lag∞n, Tuesday, 2 January 2024 16:38 (five months ago) link
the one thing that could be interesting and not just mortifying is if some of the associates in this list don't make any sense given the narrative that Epstein was just a money manager who had some side hustle of connecting influential people for charitable and political purposes
nothing in his bio makes sense unless it's pure "hey, this guy acts like my buddy so I'll help him out" junk up until he's actually controlling money and then is the extremely creepy guy doing the same buddy-buddy crap to hobnob with celebrity and influence. maybe that was it! who the hell knows

pedo stuff aside epstein was doing things normal rich and famous people things i think is part of what made it work, theres a bunch of vague influence brokers out there, like ftx invested hundreds of million in this fund that wasnt really a fund it was more a collection of celebrities, sam bankman fried was super stoked that they could get him in the room with katy perry and bill clinton

all these big name harvard and mit professors being bewildered by the fact that anyone cares that they were on epsteins jet speaks to the fact that theyre always being flown around to various vanity conferences and whatnot by rich guys who they dont know or really care about prob
― lag∞n, Tuesday, 2 January 2024 17:11 (five months ago) link
the only really on-the-record thing that's weird, other than a lot of innuendo (although still kind of just innuendo) involving all the really high-profile people who were tied to prior shady shit would be
In 2017 "a former senior White House official" reported that Alexander Acosta, the U.S. Attorney for the Southern District of Florida who had handled Epstein's criminal case in 2008, had stated to Trump transition interviewers, that "I was told Epstein 'belonged to intelligence' and to 'leave it alone'", and that Epstein was "above his pay grade".

xp yeah, exactly. I think he was mostly seen as a somewhat creepy influence peddler and wasn't doing blatant crimes unless he thought people in the room were also gross
― ɥɯ ︵ (°□°) (mh), Tuesday, 2 January 2024 17:12 (five months ago) link
the fact that he always had young women around him and had been convicted of sex crimes and no one cared is somewhat troubling
