    the news are so bad at reporting epstein files because literally everyone who could report about them is either in bed with trump or has some other interest in not talking about it.

    it’s like, you know, people who run companies would like to keep their power so they just nod along and say “trump is a saint, nothing to see here, go away”.

    Everyone will be blaming Epstein for everything. Often justifiably, but that also takes away responsibility from people who can and should suffer consequences.

      While yes this is true broadly, this one appears to have some backing to it. If I recall correctly he’s in there quite a bit talking directly with people like Activision’s CEO about how pushing the microtransactions more can lock these kids into that ecosystem and keep them spending. Which also serves a double purpose giving people like him the ability to manipulate these kids with promises of the currency for those transactions.

        Dude was well studied in his psychological manipulation. I was browsing the files and found a research paper on memory suppression/manipulation of children aged 4-13 or so. Supremely fucked up

      Has anyone had any consequences so far? Beside maybe a mild annoyance to have been “caught”
