Exactly what I was about to post (re: Maxwell being the "recruiter" of girls for Epstein). If you've read "The Assassination of Robert Maxwell" this won't be any surprise and I'm guessing you have given the comment about Ghislaine M; both Captain Bop and her were definitely connected to Mossad and her role in this suggests Mossad are involved with Epstein too.
I read somewhere (will try to dig it up when I have more time) that Epstein's hedge fund had like one major client for ages and ages (the guy who owns Victoria's Secret) and he was essentially a money manager (launderer?) for him. The rest of it looks like a kompromat factory for the US and Israel. God knows what favours have been traded for silence in connection with the compromising stuff that Epstein manufactured.
I imagine if the truth about all of the dirty deeds that have gone on in this case came out there would be hell to pay and for that reason I think Epstein has had a warning; stfu, take the years, we'll get you doing time in Butner or some other club fed and we'll pull some strings to get less time and swing parole first time. Or....we string you up.
In a perfect world, someone would manage to leak big on this and get some heads rolling. As it is, I await the inevitable cover up.
