Let’s look at some facts:

- Alexander Acosta has been quoted as saying that he was told Epstein “is intelligence” and to “leave it alone”

- Ghislaine Maxwells father, who died under mysterious circumstances, was very likely to have been involved with Israel’s Mossad intelligence agency

- Collecting blackmail material on powerful people is intelligence agency 101, Epsteins trafficking ring had scores of that.

- Epstein got large amounts of funding from Lesley Wexner, with no logical reason ever given as to why. Wexner by coincidence, is one of the founding members of the MEGA group, a group of businessmen who donate money to causes related to Israel’s national interests.

Occam’s razor says the simplest and most likely explanation is that Epstein worked for Mossad, and was running a sex trafficking ring in order to collect blackmail material on powerful people for the Mossad to wield.

Why on earth do you think US Intel would allow an American citizen to run a "a sex trafficking ring in order to collect blackmail material on powerful people" when those people includes ex-US Presidents?
A current documentary says Epstein posed (for years) as an expert financial advisor for billionaires, and Wexler hired him to legitimately sort out complicated tax etc situations.

All normal. He did that. Wexler screwed up majorly by letting Epstein have "power of attorney" rights on Wexler's accounts.

It seems Epstein was stealing money from Wexler, who was just not interested enough to notice....if the current round of documentaries are a fixed point of the story, of course.

Epstein was a money manager. Seems like a more logical assumption that he was managing Wexner's fortune and then embezzled it or otherwise conned him or blackmailed him out of it.
I don't really remember all the facts, but it seems that you cherry picked some of them so it happens to point at Mossad directly.

If i remember correctly it's unclear which particular agencies Epstein could be a part of/have cover from, so it's better to not point at Israel alone

If you have concrete examples please cite, otherwise this is cheap dirt throwing.
Do you know of any meaningful evidence pointing to him being connected to a different intelligence agency?
