We keep track of the release of the files, but also to explore what’s already available, and why – with enough exposure – this could bring the man down, and who knows even his regime or the empire.

Swedish business leader Ehnbom proposed Epstein meet women she mentored, emails show (www.politico.eu)

Barbro Ehnbom — who has been celebrated in Sweden for “boosting women to the top” in typically male-dominated sectors including life sciences and finance — proposed young women for the late financier to meet at his New York City home over more than a decade as part of her women’s networking club.

There is no suggestion that any of the women Ehnbom proposed to Epstein were underage or were abused by Epstein. Ehnbom didn’t respond to multiple requests for comment but said in a LinkedIn post in Swedish that she was "disgusted to have had any kind of contact" with someone "exposed for actions that lack any defense."

It could be that every person mentioned in this monsters phone book isn't a monster, and didn't know the person as a monster. Monsters are very good at hiding, and like to keep good people around them to mask themselves.

I'm in no way claiming there aren't bad people in the files, but I'm not going to automatically denounce every person who shows up in them.

That said if they knew he was a monster and didn't say anything it's because they're monsters too.

Its indeed possible for Barbro to be innocent but there are records in the Epstein files showing Barbro and her group of young ambiguous women called BBB having regular meetings with Epstein, and that the group was funded by him.

Example https://www.justice.gov/epstein/files/DataSet%209/EFTA00456139.pdf

But that doesn't mean Barbro herself did anything wrong.

Yeah but as that Yale professor recco shows he said “v small good looking blonde” so most of these people knew what kind of person Epstein was and chose to engage with him anyway. Like you said, perhaps not all of them, but it was clear they knew Epstein wasn’t just “powerful guy who can make opportunities” and they rolled with the punches on the creepiness factor
