I have often wondered about who was behind Epstein. The guy may have actually run the show himself. He was a high school teacher. He may have introduced some big shots to high school girls and then used his leverage to get fat “commissions”, and the thing snowballed.
However, if an intelligence service, foreign or domestic, wanted to create a honey a trap, they couldn’t have improved on Epstein operation.
He was a teacher, without a degree. He did attend some classes (NY University, 3 years). After two years, he was more or less dismissed (poor performance is usually mentioned). He did the banking business for five years, but was asked to leave there.
No matter where he went....they usually cited him for bad behavior or poor performance.
YouTuber Viva Frei had a lawyer on who gave the details of how Epstein got involved. Maxwell’s father was associated with several intelligence agencies starting in WWII. He had a big money extortion ring financed by various agencies and it was used extensively during the cold war. The daughter met Epstein through another crook and she got him connected to do the same thing. Epstein was a wonderful liar and salesman. It was the daughter who set it all up and started the financing running. Viva has a whole series on Epstein. Not sure how to get to the series, but this is the guy.

He taught “rich” kids. No way he used them. By most of the girls that were recruited were from the “poor” side of town. Most of the girls I’ve seen interviewed had been run always or had lived on the streets. “Innocent” they were not. But they are still minors.
