Damn. This is dark shit. Watching the Epstein story get memory-holed and stone-walled in real time over the last few years makes this even more poignant. Pedophile rings at the highest level of US/UK governments seems more likely than not.

Reminds me of a story about a Belgian pedo from a few decades ago. Pre-Internet, which made it much easier to quash outside Belgium. Marc Dutroux's incarceration didn't end in him hanging himself with tissue paper like Epstein also didn't, but it took 6 years to convict him. Everything about the prosecution was so badly managed it was impossible to not at least suppect the prosecution was being purposefully bungled.
