okay the question begs asking...
from the pics I gave seen of that island, there was not a whole lot to see or do except for the house with the sex cave for a basement... My gut tells me that half the people in this list did not go there to screw little girls and boys. so, What do you suppose the attraction was there that drew the more moral people in this list??
Some may have been afraid to turn down an invite from Epstein, the Devil's Advocate, the same as many people feared the wrath of Stalin or Hitler. Others might have been hoping for a favor---career, political, etc.
Whatever the reason they must surely regret the poor decision now.
Before we knew who Epstein really was, he was known as a man that had billionaire connectiions. Some on the list would have gone to the island to talk business or to get a connection with an industry insider. They would not have known otherwise.
Epstein would ask some of his visitors to bring with them the smartest, most interesting person they had met in the past few years. Bright powerful people like to hang out with the same.
