Actually, you don’t know that. You’re merely assuming it.

So all the trafficking was occurring just for Epstein himself?

C'mon.

Be careful, that’s not what I said. In response to your statement that “a whole fucking lot of them did know exactly what was going on and partook”, I said only that you don’t have personal knowledge of the facts needed to prove your statement. You don’t know if Epstein provided girls for “a whole fucking lot” of people or just a few. You have no knowledge of how many “partook”. As there have been no convictions of anyone else, none of us do. All we have are allegations. Please confine yourself to statements of fact.
More than a billion dollar global sex trafficking ring. Girls from all over latin america, america itself, france, england, asia. There is more than enough information available to know that this involved more than a hundred people.

That's a whole fucking lot of people to be partaking in a child sex trafficking ring and this idea that somehow we need to know which specific individuals were involved and have convictions for them to make a statement that is plainly true is really weird.

He had a net worth of half a billion, I thought. And there’s no reason to suspect that he used all of it for nefarious activities. A million dollars would have sufficed to fly girls from all over the world. But that’s beside the point.
