"Scott free" is way too strong. Like, a whole extra T strong. It should be scot free.

All that said, I'm not sure how this will play out. He cozied up to the right people, but so did Epstein, and he... definitely did not get away scot free.

Not a big conspiracy fan, but in the case of Epstein, he very obviously made a mistake in compiling files of incriminating evidence on the rich and powerful who'd used his 'services'.

I'd say he was expected to disappear in case of problems, in one way or another. And it's at least possible that when he didn't do it himself, he was 'helped' on his way.

This strategy clearly seems to have worked well in some cases (Scientology, Hoover’s FBI).

Maybe you need a big institution engaging in the strategy, to obfuscate and diffuse the responsibility & blame?
