"if you study the huge amount of Epstein-related material, from the New York Times's deep dive into his finances to the vast cache of correspondence contained in the files, a picture emerges of a man who did the kind of number on his peers that you would more commonly see directed at victims."
"While multiple survivor testimonies indicate that Epstein regarded the girls and women he trafficked as of such low consequence he didn't even need to bother to groom them per Virginia Giuffre's account, Epstein raped her the first time they met all of his resources, via a variety of tactics, went into capturing the allegiances of powerful men."
Jeffrey Epstein's ability to attract powerful individuals into his circle has long puzzled observers. Recent revelations from the Epstein files clarify that his real genius lay not in grooming trafficking victims, whom he regarded as inconsequential, but in systematically manipulating his peers and associates. While survivors indicate Epstein showed minimal effort in grooming victims themselves, he invested considerable resources into capturing the allegiances of influential men through various tactical approaches. This distinction reveals a calculated strategy focused on building a network of complicit powerful figures rather than relying on blackmail or simple social pyramid schemes.
