The Rest Is Classified
117. Epstein Files Declassified: Mossad, Israel and Ghislaine Maxwell (Ep 2)

While operating in that sphere, he might have bumped into intelligence officers.

The Rest Is Classified

But again, there aren't facts out there to substantiate any kind of relationship.

The Rest Is Classified
117. Epstein Files Declassified: Mossad, Israel and Ghislaine Maxwell (Ep 2)

between Jeffrey Epstein and Mossad or another intelligence service.

The Rest Is Classified
117. Epstein Files Declassified: Mossad, Israel and Ghislaine Maxwell (Ep 2)

I think that's where I've come down at the end of this.

The Rest Is Classified
117. Epstein Files Declassified: Mossad, Israel and Ghislaine Maxwell (Ep 2)

Yeah, yeah, exactly.

The Rest Is Classified
117. Epstein Files Declassified: Mossad, Israel and Ghislaine Maxwell (Ep 2)

And I think it's probably worth, at the end here...

The Rest Is Classified
117. Epstein Files Declassified: Mossad, Israel and Ghislaine Maxwell (Ep 2)

just reiterating and kind of going back to the compromise angle, right?

The Rest Is Classified
117. Epstein Files Declassified: Mossad, Israel and Ghislaine Maxwell (Ep 2)

This really, the frankly, I think conspiracy theory that is most commonly linked to the Epstein is a spy theory, right?

The Rest Is Classified
117. Epstein Files Declassified: Mossad, Israel and Ghislaine Maxwell (Ep 2)

There's no credible evidence that

The Rest Is Classified
117. Epstein Files Declassified: Mossad, Israel and Ghislaine Maxwell (Ep 2)

Mossad had anything to do with that.

The Rest Is Classified
117. Epstein Files Declassified: Mossad, Israel and Ghislaine Maxwell (Ep 2)

CIA would not have touched it with a 10,000-foot pole.

The Rest Is Classified
117. Epstein Files Declassified: Mossad, Israel and Ghislaine Maxwell (Ep 2)

I don't think the Brits would either.

The Rest Is Classified
117. Epstein Files Declassified: Mossad, Israel and Ghislaine Maxwell (Ep 2)

The Brits wouldn't have either, right?

The Rest Is Classified
117. Epstein Files Declassified: Mossad, Israel and Ghislaine Maxwell (Ep 2)

And so what I think is interesting, and why I think it's helpful we've unpacked this for listeners, and I hope listeners have found it useful, is that

What does seem clear, though, is that Epstein was floating in spy adjacent networks and was involved in, you know, fixer work that did have political and security sort of connections to it.

The Rest Is Classified
117. Epstein Files Declassified: Mossad, Israel and Ghislaine Maxwell (Ep 2)

He's just not doing that anymore.

The Rest Is Classified
117. Epstein Files Declassified: Mossad, Israel and Ghislaine Maxwell (Ep 2)

At least there's no evidence that he's doing that kind of work at the behest of or for any intelligence service.

The Rest Is Classified
117. Epstein Files Declassified: Mossad, Israel and Ghislaine Maxwell (Ep 2)

And frankly, the very clean, I think, given what we know about Epstein, the very clean sort of lens to use to interpret all of this is,

The Rest Is Classified
117. Epstein Files Declassified: Mossad, Israel and Ghislaine Maxwell (Ep 2)

The value that he created for himself was leveraging his massive Rolodex and his networks.

And he was very driven by, it seems, financial motivations here.
