It's been nearly four years since Jeffrey Epstein died in a New York prison cell.
The Wall Street Journal's coverage, in particular, is taking apart the Epstein kingdom by looking at all its connections to the rich, powerful, and famous in politics, finance, and industry.
According to the Journal, "Most of those people told the Journal they visited Epstein for reasons related to his wealth and connections. Several said they thought he had served his time and had rehabilitated himself. Mr. Botstein said he was trying to get Epstein to donate to his school. Mr. Chomsky said he and Epstein discussed political and academic topics."
"JPMorgan executives were aware that Epstein had been accused of using cash to pay for girls to come to his house, Ms. Erdoes said in a previously reported deposition for the lawsuits. A compliance team pointed out that Epstein routinely made large cash withdrawals, up to $80,000 at a time and more than $750,000 a year, according to the lawsuit."
People involved with Epstein came from the highest levels of law, finance, politics, academia, and more.
When the list of people Epstein cavorted with continues to get longer and longer, it's harder to take the excuses and denials seriously.
We're seeing more and more fallout from the Epstein trials and investigations.
