Bloomberg Discovers Epstein's Concerns Beyond 'Pedophile Island'
The story details Epstein's alleged 'war' against an investigation into his vast financial dealings during his 2007 sex case. It's a fascinating look at how the powerful prioritize their financial secrets over, say, the welfare of the children they abuse. The same system that gave Epstein a shockingly lenient plea deal (the 'non-prosecution agreement' orchestrated by then-U.S. Attorney Alexander
Acosta, still bafflingly unpunished) seems to be more diligent when a high-roller's bank accounts are threatened than when minors are being trafficked. One might wonder if the concern over 'laundering' is simply fear of tracing the funds back to his powerful associates, many of whom remain unnamed by major media outlets. We’re expected to believe the most concerning part of Epstein’s legacy was
his financial shenanigans, not the network of abuse he facilitated for decades. It's a masterful deflection, reminding us that for some, the greatest crime is invariably financial, not moral.
