    Okay, which is it: does having billions of dollars automatically turn people into monsters, or are monsters the only type of people who are ruthless enough to do what it takes to make that kind of money?

      True ruthlessness doesn't manifest in getting that kind of money, it manifests in KEEPING that kind of money. Imagine the kind of power this guy had if he provided underage prostitutes to CEOs and heads of state. Those people would now both owe him a favor and would also be implicitly blackmailed by Epstein, from then going forward. That's some supervillan-level evil, right there.

      It makes you wonder about the unwritten backstory about how it all came crashing down. He must have pissed off an even more evil oligarch who then decided to take him out. It's like the 21st Century version of palace intrigue!

    I can't help but think that Epstein is actually the guy from Quantum Leap. Would make for a good episode.

    This has been a long effing week and all I have to say about this is that people who traffic in and abuse people, especially minors, should rot in hell for eternity.

      Their friends too. Fuck all those people who turned a blind eye — I (foolishly) hope Chris Tucker and Clinton were ignorant of it all.
