The FBI has found that late convicted sex offender Jeffrey Epstein did not run a sex trafficking ring for powerful people, according to a report.

FBI protocol requires video documentation of every step of a raid, inside and out.

Where is the video documentation of the Lolita Island raid?

Hey FIB, then explain why Ghislaine Maxwell was convicted for conspiracy to entice minors to travel to engage in illegal sex acts, conspiracy to transport minors to participate in illegal sex acts, transporting a minor to participate in illegal sex acts, sex trafficking conspiracy, and sex trafficking of a minor. How does one get convicted of multiple offenses if no sex-trafficking ring existed?

i’ve been waiting for the day they would just end it all and say nope nothing happened. Because, that’s what they’ve wanted to do all along -just sweep it under the rug because the people involved are literally the richest and most powerful people on earth. A list. Of course they want to look the other way and end it all. I assume we won’t hear much about it anymore. They will say they’ve released everything and that was that. In reality we didn’t get to see half of it

Perhaps procuring prostitutes and a place to ‘do them’ was just the bait and Epstein’s real business was extortion.

FBI concludes that the sun actually rises in the west and there’s no evidence to the contrary.

he wasn’t charging for the sex in other words. He was just using the sex to lure in important people to gain clout ect

We have been bombed with speculation and innuendo about this for so long, no one will accept this finding.

Everyone is now an expert because they saw something on the internet.

The trading on insider government information was the highlight. Outside of SDNY who is going to take that infomation anywhere. The cost benifit relationship of chasing after US finance guys is not the best even for SDNY.

Now knowing his source was someone with insider information on how the UK was going to finance it debt in a operational way, the dollars he got out of thin air now make sense. He was making government bond bets for people who could not be seen trading on that information knowing that downside was not in the cards beside a black swan event. With who was his friends, the business was trading information and money laundering the FBI was not going to be interested 2008-2018. That he spent money on 15 to 18 year old women to fulfill the lifestyle image goes along with the island, the boats, the planes and the parties. To the FBI the cash flow and direction was financial efforts that could be modest amount of illegal.

The only reason anyone is interested today is the cratered relationship with trump, trump lucked out, listened to his people and got out of the orbit quick. If it was not the Miami crowd you think anyone would care if say it was Newport beach?

If it was limited to only doing so for the benefit of herself & jeffrey, than it isn’t a ring or broad conspiracy. I think they are saying the crimes were his.

If anything in the history of mankind needs to be taken with a grain of salt, it’s this. Oh and remember the context.
