But it comes back to what Domenico is saying about the lack of people being satisfied.
The reason we have three million Epstein files is because of Donald Trump.
We had the campaign trail and you had Trump and others saying we're going to release the files and show that there's powerful people in the government covering up the truth.
Then, when he became president again... He became the government.
He became the government and then said, why does anybody care about the Epstein files?
He called Republicans who wanted the files to be released stupid Republicans.
And so we went from there's something to see here, they're hiding it, to nothing to see here, to fine, we'll see it all.
And it just...
Doesn't make anybody happy.
The people who believe the grand conspiracy about powerful people in the government, they're not satisfied.
The people who didn't have a lot of thoughts about this that now have a lot of questions, they're not satisfied.
And then you do have the victims that have their personal lives being dissected by everybody on the Internet trying to find these files.
Definitely not satisfied.
Yeah, and the list goes on and on and on.
There are people that sought Jeffrey Epstein's advice and counsel on topics ranging from video game microtransactions to meeting with the founder of the 4chan image board and the
sort of hotbed for a lot of other conspiracies down the line.
Epstein was asked to weigh in on cryptocurrency before cryptocurrency was a real thing.
And he drew the line at this concept of a rug pull, which is where you put a lot of money into crypto, get other people to put a lot of money and then take it all away and leave investors with nothing and personally profit.
And
tangled web of people and ideas and things that he was involved with and weighed in on and again all of these things happened after he registered as a sex offender and the through line in all of this more so than a neat story tied up in a bow of yep here's the Epstein files this is what it is is just this reckoning with people in power regardless of party and ideology that exist and kind of have rules that are different from everybody else
