Another amazingly convenient death for epstiens clients and associates. Becoming clear that a pedophile cult runs the world and there's nothing you can do about it.

Siad was one of several French men accused of aiding Epstein to traffic and abuse women. He had not yet been questioned by investigators, but had denied the allegations, saying he wanted to give his version of events.

How convenient.

How hasn't every single person who has ever been in the same room as Epstein not been questioned by now? It's been 10 fucking years?!?!

It was nearly 20 years ago that he was convicted of soliciting a minor for prostitution. Over 20 years ago that the investigation of that incident began.

The initial investigation found more than 30 girls between the ages of 14 and 17 with similar accounts of sexual abuse.

Its mind boggling to think that he ended up in a plea deal and only got a year and a half in prison. Anyone he ever came into contact with after that should have been immediately questioned.

Apparently they didn't even meet the victims.

It’s weird to me that all the outlets are going with “model scout” instead of “trafficker”.

Wanna know where he wasn't under investigation? The United States. I wish this trash human was still alive to talk.
