Another one:

Epstein is a convicted sex offender. They keep calling him, "disgraced Financier"

[–] BarneyPiccolo@lemmy.today 11 points 1 day ago (1 children)

Even that's too soft for him, makes him sound like the creep who moved in down the block.

In reality, he was the most connected and influential international child sex trafficker in history. "Convicted sex offender" sounds like one of his customers.

Silly rabbit. None of his customers will ever be a "convicted" sex offender.

[–] BarneyPiccolo@lemmy.today 6 points 18 hours ago

Let's change that.

[–] criss_cross@lemmy.world 1 points 17 hours ago

This is the one that pissed me off the most.

Dude ran a fucking ultra elaborate sex trafficking scheme and they label him the same way they would someone caught doing a petty crime.

[–] Insekticus@aussie.zone 18 points 1 day ago

They dont want the other financiers tarred with the same brush, even though the capitalist scum deserve it.

I watched the first few hours of his interview that leaked. That man had a room temperature IQ. No one was asking him for financial advice.

[–] FuglyDuck@lemmy.world 12 points 1 day ago (1 children)

Eh.

He wasn’t the kind of financier that handled accounts, he was the kind that had connections and when you needed a loan knew who could hook you up.

Of course, his real line of work was trafficking children.

[–] wheezy@lemmy.ml 2 points 1 day ago (1 children)

I think it's not that at all actually. If you listen to him, he doesn't understand the first thing about finance. What he did with money was get rich people social connections to the anything from pedophilia to STD drugs to slip to your wife. His financial expertise began and end at blackmailing rich people while using their money to get them whatever fucked up thing they wanted.

[–] FuglyDuck@lemmy.world 6 points 1 day ago

his cover was that of, basically, a matchmaker for cash.

If Person A needed to finance a project, he had a Rolodex full of stupid rich assholes he could then match them with and get the financing for the project.

And yes. his real "job" was to set people up with children or whatever else they wanted - and then black mail the ever living shit out of them.

He must have been a really charming, charismatic guy though, to draw in all those famous, well-connected people.

But then there had to be that moment when he asked to have a private talk, and he took you in a separate room, and informed you that your experience with that 13 year old (which he arranged) was recorded, and now you were going to have to do him a favor.
