But Epstein had ties to Israeli intelligence.

Someone funded Epstein. Just something to ponder.

Some say Epstein got rich after meeting Robert Maxwell. Some say they never met. Who knows - lots of different reports but one is that Epstein hid hundreds of millions of Robert Maxwell’s money and that after her father was killed, Ghislaine had lots of money to buy houses.

Robert Maxwell is believed to have been connected to Israeli intelligence.

Some historians say Epstein was a freelancer - helping groups & individuals hide money as needed.
Like he wasn’t intelligence staff but could be hired for individual jobs by intelligence like money laundering and probably hooking up men with underage girls for blackmail.

Take all of this with a grain of salt too

We've all seen pics and videos of him not being a pillar of the community, as it were. Imagine if you were REALLY interested in finding more and had the resources to do it.

If everyone had it, then two competing interests would have extorted him on one issue and one of them would have been thwarted and got angry and spilled the beans.
