We will never know, but Epstein’s career trajectory and influence among powerful men from both parties which shielded him is a story that makes no sense. Going from private school teacher to money manager for Wexner and other high wealth individuals, yet no one can point to any particular acumen shown or who exactly he made money for. Either the most talented blackmail artist from day one, or someone untouchable for reasons that are more obscure.
Obviously rumors abound. Most times rumors are just rumors, but sometimes they seem more logical than what actually occurred. Even any documentaries are basically worthless and simply regurgitate his story like he was Harvey Weinstein, but we know exactly why Weinstein got away with it. We know his success. Young actresses had a logical fear of him. Hollywood lech to the extreme, but an old story. If he wasn’t so fucking ugly, I’d guess the story never comes out. It’s only that he was repulsive that made time old casting couch shit traumatic it seemed.
Epstein is a total mystery and nothing I have seen sheds any true light on exactly how he pulled it off. Just random victims and filler.
