Likely lots of people who had contact with Epstein did nothing wrong, at least not on that level.

He was collecting powerful people, in science, business, government, anything. One way to do that is to offer access to other important people. The ability to say to someone "I can connect you with Stephen Hawking" is currency.

The pedophilia ring and sex trafficking is the exact same thing -- just a way to appeal to certain people.

I think it's more interesting to talk about who the fuck gave Epstein a private island in one of the most stupidly expensive spits of sand on the entire planet. Likely the same people who killed him.
