listen.. that zerohedge post is basically a long conspiracy theory with every single point exaggerated or otherwise blown up to accent the desired narrative.
that quantist1 tweet is like, the opposite of conspiracy theory. its a 13 point match. facial recognition needs like half that many to make an ID that stands up in court.
i think the new yorker just put out a piece where they fact checked a bunch of them (not quoting the original tweet mind you) and a lot of important points are standing up to scrutiny; actual billionaire hedge managers cant find anyone who did business with epstein, have never heard of anyone doing business with epstein.
by all appearances, epstein was taking billions of dollars, stashing it all in SP 500, and collecting 5m quarterly from a number of clients and calling it a management fee.
we have run out of alternate explanations = opposite of a conspiracy theory.
