Yes, what Ghislaine Maxwell drove a “stake through the heart” of is the idea that all those girls were there only for Epstein, not bigshots. Maxwell: “[T]o suggest that Larry Summers or Clinton would certainly go, oh my gosh, this is like a guy I’m going to get my body rubbed and

Hoffenberg on Epstein pre-Towers: “He was very heavily involved in the illegal side of the business, of the money laundering, the spying, the arms sales.” Would seem to justify more focus on laundering from @NYT. [From Dead Men Tell No Tales, page 18 https://t.co/GJBVfP1qjw] https://t.co/gbbyJ5j46D

There’s still an X factor here, no? Maybe more emphasis on money laundering, blackmailing and spying? Not enough to say Epstein was a “collector of people” who made connections. Which benefitted him financially …how? Did sending all that money to women MAKE Epstein any money at https://t.co/P80a6xztth

“Where was all this money coming from?” Let’s see. NYT says lot of money from Wexner, “tens of millions” from Leon Black, $15M and $9M from JPMorgan itself. Does that add up to the hundreds of millions Epstein seems to have had? I don’t think so. (Depends a lot on the Wexner

The @WSJ-reporting on the 2003 Epstein birthday book-says “Clinton and Trump were listed under the ‘Friends’ group, along with about 20 other associates.” So why not just PRINT THE LIST of the 20 instead of telling us down in the story of 6 the WSJ deems famous? Stop gatekeeping!
