FBI concluded Jeffrey Epstein wasn't running a sex trafficking ring for powerful men, files show

9. That is what I've also concluded after carefully watching the whole story unfold

I could lay out the evidence that underpins this analysis (it doesn't 'prove' it, but suggests it), but it would annoy many people so I won't. I hope you'll believe me when I say it's honestly well-considered, and that I would be more than happy to jump on the bandwagon to believe what everyone else does, if the evidence ever truly warrants it.

A lot of the reasons behind this though I will say stem from the testimonies in Maxwell's 2022 trial, which I consider to offer the highest level of credibility, due to everyone being under oath in a closely-watched federal criminal trial

OTOH, I also strongly suspect he and Brunel were recruiting models and actresses (who were 18+) from all over the world to come and party at Epstein Island and elsewhere, and I'm sure a lot of what happened there is rightly called "sex trafficking", so I disagree with the headline, and think the word "minors" should be part of it.

I think he was trafficking young women, and privately abusing minor girls, rather than sharing them with his rich buddies, with the likely exception of Virginia Guiffre.

In the public imagination, IMHO, these two things (abusing minors, trafficking 18-25 year olds to his rich buddies) have become conflated into one storyline, but I don't think that version of the story is particularly accurate.

Let the flames begin.
