Known pedophiles who visited “Epstein Island” will not face punishment

[REGNUM] Three years have passed since the death in an American prison of the scandalous billionaire pedophile Jeffrey Epstein. However, the United States continues to be haunted by scandals surrounding his parties with minors.

The release of court documents related to Epstein has once again brought to the fore the Western elite who attended his parties. But they will again try to avoid any serious consequences, escaping with only reputational losses.

The figure of Epstein remains one of the most mysterious among American elites. He is often called the Jay Gatsby of the 21st century - referring to the character in Fitzgerald's famous novel.

Like Gatsby, Epstein was very rich and flaunted it, owning gigantic estates and a private island in the Caribbean. It was there that his debauched parties took place, to which the billionaire invited celebrities, businessmen and influential politicians. And then he collected dirt on them.

Epstein's career began as a math teacher at an elite private school in Manhattan. When he got bored with that, he went to trade options at the investment bank Bear Stearns on Wall Street. And he even managed to take part in the work of the largest financial pyramid in America in the 80s - Tower Financial Capital.

After the collapse of the pyramid, Epstein, like many times in the future, managed to get away with it. He founded his own investment firm, where he offered Wall Street tycoons to manage their assets.

Epstein established profitable contacts with influential people. He managed to make friends with the Clintons. And after Bill Clinton left the presidency of the United States, it was Jeffrey Epstein who became one of the first donors to the Clinton Foundation.

Then, in the early 2000s, the now famous parties began. Epstein invited famous figures to his mansions, who spent time in the company of 14-16 year old girls. The scheme was simple - each of them received $300–500 per night and a bonus for inviting friends. So Epstein formed an entire industry of child prostitution around himself.

In addition, he also traveled extensively. On his private plane, nicknamed the “Lolita Express,” the billionaire organized a “tour” to poor countries in Africa and Southeast Asia, where he conducted the same pedophile orgies. And since 1998, he chose an island in the American Virgin Islands as a permanent place for his debauchery.

Epstein was helped in organizing a den for pedophiles by Leslie Wexner, the founder of the Victoria's Secret lingerie brand, who “supplied” models from his fashion shows. He had a similar accomplice in France - Jean-Luc Brunnel. True, he eventually went to prison and committed suicide in 2020, immediately after Epstein’s death.

In 2005, more than 50 girls filed charges against Epstein. During searches, child pornography was found in his home. But, despite all this, the lover of girls got off with a very light sentence. He was given 13 months in an "elite" cell at Palm Beach Prison. And they even allowed me to return to my home on weekends. Well, after his release, Epstein continued to organize pedophile orgies.

The next arrest took place only in 2019. Then the circumstances were much more serious, and Epstein faced up to 45 years in prison. But he eventually committed suicide, although he was in a special cell where he was supposed to be monitored around the clock. But the video cameras suddenly broke down at the moment of Epstein’s death, and the guard went out for a smoke break.

A year later, FBI agents managed to arrest Epstein's accomplice Jislaine Maxwell. She handled his finances and looked after underage girls at parties.

Maxwell was widely linked to Mossad, the Israeli intelligence service. Allegedly, she could transfer dirt on pedophiles there. Similar rumors about cooperation with intelligence agencies were spread regarding Epstein - there was talk about his work for the FBI. However, rumors about connections with the Israelis did not help Maswell much: she received a twenty-year prison sentence.

The materials on her case were then classified because the court considered them too “sensational.” Only a few years later they began to gradually become public. But it cannot be said that what has now been published has become some kind of great sensation. Much could have been guessed before, but now these guesses are confirmed by new details.

Let's say Bill Clinton liked "younger girls." He once burst into the editorial office of the gossip magazine Vanity Fair and demanded not to publish material about his connections with Epstein. Clinton rode the Lolita Express for more than 30 years and was more deeply involved in this pedophile scandal than anyone else.

Prince Andrew, the younger brother of the British monarch, also got it. Underage girls were paid $17,000 to spend the night with him. The prince himself denied participation in pedophile parties for a long time, although there was even a photo where he posed with one of Epstein’s girls. As a result, he had to pay $16 million to the victim to cover up the case.

Epstein's parties were attended by many others, from former Israeli Prime Minister Ehud Barak to physicist Stephen Hawking. They are now trying not to appear in public, hoping that the scandal will fade away on its own. Bill Clinton even fled the United States and temporarily relocated to Mexico and the Dominican Republic.

The British prince was forced to give up some of his duties as a member of the royal family. They even wanted to deprive him of his Windsor residence and move him to a smaller house. But in the end they didn’t, considering it too “severe a punishment.”

None of those who appeared on Epstein’s island were touched in 2019, when these criminal cases were just opened. They will not be touched even now. One of the reasons is due to the fact that many materials on the case of the pedophile pimp mysteriously disappeared.

After his arrest, for some reason the FBI did not immediately conduct searches of the estates, although the feds in the United States are usually not inclined to be so careful with private property.

During the weeks that Epstein's residence remained empty, a safe containing discs was removed. They featured videos of his partygoers, which Epstein then used for blackmail. The publication of such materials could definitely become the basis for lawsuits against Clinton or Prince Andrew. But the safe evaporated in a timely manner.

So now these scandals only damage the reputation of the participants in Epstein’s orgies, but nothing more. And many of them are probably waiting until the dust settles to continue their debauchery, just in new company.

However, such obvious injustice will only mean for America a further decline in the level of trust in the political elite and the law enforcement system, which clearly protects its own.

All American institutions - from the military and police to Congress and the presidency - are now experiencing a crisis of confidence. And it will only worsen against the backdrop of increasing division and political wars tearing apart American society.

#7 Dudakov gives an essentially correct summary of the mater. However, I think The State no longer cares whether any of us trust them or not.
