Jeffrey Epstein arrested for child sex trafficking

[crescent]

From one angle, Epsteins operation looks a lot like a textbook blackmail factory.

Not that Epstein would necessarily be the one behind that aspect of the operation.

That hat would look better on CIA, or Mossad, or a similar outfit of some other state.

Or what if Epstein was a freelancer....offering the pics and vids to the highest bidder?


In other news....why would an ex US president fly on Epstein's Lolita Express 26 or more times, according to FAA logs?

The 26 number seems to come from counting each leg of each trip as a separate flight. That would be 13 round trips if the flights were non-stop, fewer if they made multiple stops. Clinton says he made four trips on the plane.

Epstein is effective at worming his way in. He didn't just fly Clinton around for the jollies, he flew him to events in which they were both participating, such as fundraisers for medical work in Africa.

In 2002, Clinton, Kevin Spacey, and Chris Tucker flew to Africa on Epstein’s plane as part of project to raise awareness about poverty and the AIDS crisis. “Jeffrey is both a highly successful financier and a committed philanthropist with a keen sense of global markets and an in-depth knowledge of 21st-century science,” Clinton said of Epstein in an interview with New York Magazine at the time. “I especially appreciated his insights and generosity during the recent trip to Africa to work on democratization, empowering the poor, citizen service, and combating HIV/AIDS.”

That's a key thing to being an effective grifter - always having a pretext. I'm guessing the events that Epstein hosted ar Mar-a-lago also had similar pretexts.

I thought about opening an Epstein thread in the Conspiracy Theories section of this board because this is an excellent opportunity to observe and study what will likely become a CT no matter how the case winds up. There will be many questions left unanswered and most of those questions are being asked by CTists right now, knowing that they cannot be answered in the future, and thus proving their world view.

I write fiction, and my last three novels have featured villains based on Epstein. He's been on my radar for over five years. Writing allows the former CTist inside of me to go wild while sorting out fact from rumor.

The problem is that both sides want to use Epstein to "get" political figures they dislike. If I'm Epstein's lawyer I'll take advantage of this side show to get the lightest sentence possible by feeding the Feds big enough names to make them greedy, all the time knowing that most of those cases will fall apart later in court. Epstein gets time served and some famous names get slimed, but justice isn't served.

Seems like an overly cynical view of the Feds and their ability to evaluate information given by Epstein.

Very similar to this one (see Theory #2: Blackmail): How Jeffrey Epstein Made His Money: Four Wild Theories (New York Magazine, July 9, 2019)
The alleged sex tapes could have been used against both the men and the young girls (or boys, in the case of Spacey, I guess).

Big investors and fund managers advertise their skill and polish their egos by going on current affairs programs, publishing books, giving talks at universities, we know their vision and their methods. They make filings for the FEC, we know what stock they hold. Bloomberg, Klarman, Buffett etc.

Epstein's operation seems to me like a clever combination of a Ponzi scheme and a blackmail operation.

Of course the ******* jews have to be responsible for this, like they are responsible for everything bad in the world.

It takes less effort to be racist than it is to have rational thoughts.

Ooh, it's the Ebil Jooz!

I kind of like the way Thomas Mann put it....

It is.

They had him before and dropped the ball. Maybe this time it's high-profile enough that they're forced to go all in. I hope so. I want to pleasantly surprised.

This is all speculation anyway. He might just make a plea deal and spend his last years in the can. Maybe his lawyers will take it to trial and make the Feds prove their case in a court of law, with that there's a 50/50 chance of acquittal, or a lesser sentence.

Maybe that Trump has a reputation for trying to get out of paying his lawyers has something to do with that....

Why should lawyers be different from construction contractors, or pretty much anybody else Trump does business with?

 

[The Don]

Because they can more readily afford to sue (or counter-sue) him ?

 

[ponderingturtle]

Maybe that Trump has a reputation for trying to get out of paying his lawyers has something to do with that....

Also his inability to keep his mouth shut. But what felonies will Giuliani advocate as normal lawyer behavior next?

 

[BrooklynBaby]

That is an overblown exaggeration of what really happened

First, getting someone the Sex Offenders Register is no big deal when that person is a billionaire and will never have to find work. And actually getting someone on the Register is something any prosecutor can do in their sleep. You can get a drunk who pees in a bush next to a school put on the register.

Second, the term "Epstein in jail" is misleading. He was in jail at night, and let out six days a week from 7am to 5pm to "work" in his office. That's not a jail sentence, its a curfew - something you punish naughty schoolboys with when they misbehave.

Epstein should have got LIFE behind bars for what he did, not the 13 months of curfew that is no more than a slap on the wrist with a wet train ticket.

It was the state that set the terms of Epstein's sentence, not Acosta.

Wrong (again)

https://www.miamiherald.com/news/local/article220097825.html

"Alex Acosta was the U.S. attorney for Southern Florida when he negotiated an end to the federal investigation of Jeffrey Epstein."​

"But court records reveal details of the negotiations and the role that Acosta would play in arranging the deal, which scuttled the federal probe into a possible international sex trafficking operation. Among other things, Acosta allowed Epstein’s lawyers unusual freedoms in dictating the terms of the non-prosecution agreement."​

*FYI:
SDFL (Southern District of Florida) are Federal cops, NOT state cops
US Attorneys are Federal prosecutors, NOT state prosecutors.

 

[Skeptic Ginger]

They're smart enough to get paid up front.

Lame.

 

[Sideroxylon]

1. Acosta didn’t do anything.
2. He did but there was nothing wrong with it.
3. The Dems did it too.

Just imagine what has gone on in older parts of the world. Where Epsteins operations pale in comparison to what the elite class has established and enjoyed for since forever.

..for example where the ruling class has been the law and chief cover-upper since forever...where an island like epstein's is amateur compared to what they've developed and kept out of sight for generations.

 

[Bubba]

Someone said the birds adorning epsteins island temple are cockatoos, not owls. Some jumped on "Moloch's owls.." just like at Bohrmian grove, and on the dollar bill, in the corner, if you use a magnifying glass....


But this person said no, the statues are a particular crested cockatoo which is the only bird known to molest its young.

The poster pointed out how the cockatoos, when turned 90 degrees in silhouette side view, to face each other, make the exact silhouette of the owl seen on the dollar bill, and elsewhere. It is the crest of the two cockatoos which forms the owl's ears, seen in profile.

That fb post was gone when I went back to copy it. 'unsafe for the fb community'/

Anyone here know of this cockatoo trait?

The poster that claimed to know this said they had have known this after breeding thousands of parrotes..

You're definitely on to something there...
