I found his conclusions memorable.

The truth is that the elite world that Epstein ascended into, the one I tapped into by way of the black book, is populated with hordes of loathsome, boring, untalented people living their bumbling, idiotic lives while just so happening to wield some share of the preposterous global bounty that he and the rest were after. For all the mystery surrounding Epstein’s fortune, its existence is hardly more inscrutable than the wealth of any of his other billionaire peers. He earned it the same way they all did, which is to say precisely not at all.

This wasn’t some masterful hack into the global aristocracy. It’s what everyone does. It’s what the whole thing is. There is no scam here. It’s grifters grifting grifters all the way down.

1. Fascinating and horrifying.

38 names with circles, 3 named in the article: Donald Trump, Ehud Barak and Prince Andrew.

I’d say those 38 names are the place to start.

2. It shouldn't matter how boring they are, or non-aristocratic (execept what about Prince Andrew?)...

the fact is that the FBI has been protecting them and now Blondi and Trump want the cases closed.
