      I think people are obsessing over this case because a bunch of rich and powerful people got publicly exposed as a part of the same ring, but there’s certainly way more out there. I’m sure a bunch other politicians, billionaires, clergymen, celebrities, and a whole host of other people with influence has their own rings all over the world.

        Also it’s not just a rich and powerful thing, there are unfortunately also middle class and poor people that abuse children. The thing about Epstein is that it’s mostly rich and powerful people that should be exposed and prosecuted. It sends a good message, even the richest and most powerful people can’t get away with it.

      Well it’s sort of hard to obsess over cases we don’t know about. What do you want from people, self-funded investigations?

      If you have evidence then obviously you know what to do with it. When it comes out people can talk about that case too otherwise I don’t really know what you want.

      My assumption is that he was the Tiger Woods of pedophilic sex trafficking. He was the best, most well connected, and most “secret”.

      Ofc there are others, but they probably don’t have the traffic and volume that Epstein did.

      That is just optimistic thinking of course. There is the possibility that he was the least known, and there’s bigger badder traffickers still hiding in the dark.
