This is what I say all the damn time. Which of these statements is true: 1. When normal people get lots of money, they decide to r*** and molest women and children 2. People who r*** and molest women and children end up in positions with lots of money and power. Or, is the % of rich fuckers that r*** and molest women and children the same as in the general population, we just don't hear about every plumber that is a child rapist?

Oh no, you just get the defense attorney you pay for. As the famous quote goes something like this: "The law is equally just in that it prohibits both the beggar and the Lord from sleeping under the bridge." When you do get a conviction for a rich b******, then you see a judge suddenly over rule the jury sentence, we should start doing yearly financial audits on any judge that deviates from minimum sentencing guidelines.

I doubt p*** has to do with this, CSAM isn't something you randomly stumble across. Someone who decides to go through all the risk and effort to get such material has alreeady made the decision to target kids. Extreme p*** is more likely to get folks into choking and such which is of course dangerous if done wrong but it's not remotely the same thing as raping children.

Being a billionaire makes getting away with raping easier. Since r*** is more about power than anything else, people who gravitate towards positions of power also gravitate to raping and vice versa.

It's more likely a strong personality trait of people that can "earn" ungodly amounts of cash. Short of inheritance the only way you make a billion is if you are such an awful person that you abuse people to achieve it. I'm sire there are some morally decent billionaires but the ones that are public all show abuse as a common trait. R***, theft, defamation, you name it and they likely were involved.

Yep. Knew someone like that. People liked him but he was an a****** in private. We dont talk any more but much as i dislike him i have no doubt he is doing fantastically. he was so manipulative, instinctively looked for weaknesses in other people just to exploit in conversation for entertainment. for fun. Did it to me. Not afraid to crush people to move up. And he was in finance. Great with numbers and great with people surface level but also a very good salesperson because he could manipulate people.

> we just don't hear about every plumber that is a child rapist? On one side of my family, my ex brother-in-law molested his daughter (my niece). On the other side of the family, one of my uncles molested my cousin when she was about 3 years old. Also, my best friend's brother molested her daughter before she was 10. (These are just the incidents I know about in my personal circle.) Shit happens all the time in the general population... you just usually don't see it in the news.

According to Google, 1 in 4 girls is sexually abused before the age of 18. If that stat is accurate, then there's a 1 in 4 chance that someone in your own family/inner circle has been molested, whether you know about it or not. There's a reason that the stereotype of 'every family has that one uncle' exists ...

In my opinion, these rich pedos have some sort of combination of these three factors going for them: (1)Being rich just lets them get away with it more. (2) Being rich allows them to indulge in their impulses more. (3) They’re not actually attracted to children, they do these things essentially because they can. Because using their wealth to do things they otherwise couldn’t or that people see as morally irrepressible gets them excited in some way. I don’t think being rich makes people want to do horrid shit. Power and wealth just enables you to do the stuff you’d already do if you could. Regular people can’t give into their impulses (good or bad) to fit into society. They have to regulate their spending or seek therapy or other professional help if they do get the urge to do some horrid stuff for whatever reason. Or even just to figure out some basic underlying issues. Obscenely rich people don’t need to. And in my experience, when people (rich or poor) don’t technically need to do something about themselves, to better themselves in someway, they just don’t. Or at least, that’s their first instinct. Because it’s easier to stay the way you are if you can.

One of the r*** stats I recall is that around 17% of females will be raped in their lifetime, and the vast majority of those individuals will be attacked the first time as children. I guess my point is that it's a lot more common than people realize. If you ever watched To Catch a Predator or pay attention to the outcomes of child trafficking sting operations, it's rarely fancy folk that get caught in the net.

avcloudy 4 days ago +4
It's terrifying. Everyone's so intent on proving they aren't the child predators that they'd rather blame some group they don't belong to as the problem. The only difference between rich people and poor people is access to children and access to resources to evade detection and punishment. And while we deny that we or people like us could have dark impulses, we make it impossible to stop it.

There is something with narcissistic, sociopathic and psychopathic must be alluring to many. They seem to gain power by every dirty trick in the book, mostly lies, and then their masks come off. Their symptoms are fairly well documented. They can fake empathy very well, but they have none, just a very well practiced mask. They are truly the most terrifying thing the world got though, since all others are just pieces to be used in their mindset, also kids. A study why such gain power, and why humans vote for such, should be done. Then a study should be done how to inform the public that’s it’s not in their best interest to vote or financially support such, and how to spot such. Whatever this billionaire sells, I hope none buys.

I'm just guessing here but it seems raping children is something rich people just do and have been doing for a long time. People like Epstein have been around for a while, but he was one of those people who capitalized on it and made it mainstream among the wealthy. Nobody seems to remember the DC Madame these days. The life of the wealthy is in a completely different universe than the life of average citizens. Most people really don't understand the scale of the differences. Even more sad is some still believe they can rise from the lower class into that protect wealthy class and will vote against the interests of their community to try and achieve that.

Makes you wonder why Trump hired his son: President Donald Trump appointed Benjamin Black to be chief executive officer of the United States International Development Finance Corporation (DFC), which helps mobilize private capital to “advance U.S. foreign policy and strengthen national security.” The nominee’s father, private equity firm Apollo Global Management co-founder Leon Black, was “friendly” with Epstein, paying him least $158 million for advice on tax issues, philanthropy, estate planning and other matters related to “the operation of the Family Office,” according to a 2021 report by the law firm Dechert LLP.

Broken clock that was right once in a lifetime XQC actually put it pretty well, I think. There gets to be a point where you're so rich and powerful that you run out of things to strive for. All that's left is doing the most heinous things you can for amusement to rub into society's face that you can do whatever you want. I do disagree with the point that "it could happen to anyone with that much money!" though.

The article doesn’t say enough to conclude judicial tampering. You are allowed to message the judge in your case as long as opposing counsel is aware usually a lawyer will CC opposing counsel on the email. OR you message their clerk/admin assistant/deputy if their court rules say that. Breaking the specific rules of a chambers also reflects poorly, such as say emailing the Judge when the rules say all messages are to go to the Secretary.  It always reflects poorly though if it’s a personal appeal based on character like the article indicates.

BananaSlug95064 4 days ago +13
The letter to Rakoff, who knew Black’s father, is the issue. Black did not have a case before Rakoff, but his lawyers had earlier been allowed in to comment. It’s not clear ex parte was allowed afterwards, and in any case it was not disclosed to Jane Doe. ALSO, CONTROL-F “banana” and “United Fruit.” This is amazing stuff from one of the best known of the 1970s conspiracies that turned out to be true. In fact UF was a known scandal for decades earlier, but became part of the 1970s zeitgeist. The latest prosecution was in the 2000s. It’s not relevant specifically, but just an odd background note. Also it’s not clear (to me) if Epstein’s New Mexico pregnancy scheme was in the news or otherwise known before Jane Doe’s diaries were submitted. The Guardian is vaguely implying that the judge and lawyer in the other case finding Jane Doe’s stories outlandish is contradicted by the New Mexico scheme.

Your assertion about motion to intervene is incorrect. As for “Epstein’s pregnancy scheme” being confirmed prior to her claim. No, an author told the NY Times that he “heard” somebody else claim that Epstein wanted to impregnate woman, but “couldn’t remember” the name of this supposed NASA scientist. Clearly Jane Doe got the idea there, and then fabricated the sonograms (as ruled by the court).

Did anybody read the article, or other articles about this woman? His accuser fabricated sonograms and journals to claim that Epstein impregnated her. Lawyers for the Epstein survivors did not believe she ever met Epstein. Her own family (in other articles) have said she began mimicking the symptoms of Down syndrome and autism as an adult, and was never "trafficked" to Epstein or Black because she was in school the entire time. Blacks lawyers have filed a letter arguing that the Guardian article contained falsehoods, and that it very likely means Doe’s entire case will be thrown out because they reported on sealed records: https://storage.courtlistener.com/recap/gov.uscourts.nysd.602764/gov.uscourts.nysd.602764.408.0.pdf

You left out a few pieces of important information: 1. They claim 2 or 3 sonograms were fabricated, out of 11. No additional details are provided about whether this is true or not, how this was determined, why they claim it’s fabricated. 2. Blacks attorneys claimed that no other survivors recognized her, but they only talked to *two* other victims. 3. She was tested and she is on the spectrum, but being on the spectrum doesn’t automatically mean to disregard any of her claims. I don’t know why this is such a key point they’re trying to push to attack her character. Of course black is going to say he never met her, that she’s crazy, that she’s making it up. Their entire defense is to make her seem illegitimate. And yet, one of the most troubling pieces of information is the letter Black wrote to the Rakoff and how that affected his decision. Judges should be impartial, and yet he was also amicable with one of blacks lawyers.

FederalLow4859 15 hr ago +1
Doe has multiple children of her own, hence she appears to have used sonograms of them in her journals. The courts have rued that she has clearly falsified 3 of them by cropping out information that shows they could not have been Epstein's children. The others do not prove that they were Epsteins babies. Her own lawyers, Wigdor LLP, disavowed her fabricated sonograms and exited the case. In addition, the courts found her journal entries about Epstein were written in pencil, an "undatable instrument", while other entries *unrelated* to Epstein were written in pen. She even wrote “Ugh, I hate writing in pencil but that was all I could find and now I will be like this forever for consistency", which the courts found incredibly suspect. It isn't that Black alone has claimed she is "making it up". It's that her entire biological family have told the court she has a history of fabricated elaborate stories, and was in school the entire time. She claims she spent years in Epstein's orbit, and claims she flew on his plane on numerous occasions. Yet she is on none of the flight logs, unlike Virginia Giuffre. She has been adopted as an adult, by a woman only 9 years older than her.

I was referring to the private communications between a judge and attorneys about a case that the attorneys weren't even participating in.  That is grounds for sanction.  The fact finding you refer to was influenced by that meeting. To reach in to a settlement, change the amount after it was established, have off the record conversations with attorneys not involved in the case, refuse to let the plaintiff's attorney there, is grounds for an enquiry at the very least.  And yes, losing your seat on the bench.  And the law licenses of the attorneys involved.

That Judge should be disbarred, and probably investigated for taking "gifts." It's terrifying how many people are willing to participate in such disgusting crimes. At this point it's surprising there's anyone who still believes in the American "justice" system

Judge Jed is one of Americas most esteemed judges. This article is full of misrepresentations. He had the right to grant a motion to intervene because it concerned the woman’s case against black. Second, the woman was sanctioned by the courts two weeks ago for fabricating sonograms in her claim that she birthed four children for Epstein. Her own family say she was never trafficked to Epstein or Black, because she was at school the entire time in another state. They say she has a history of inventing stories, including mimicking the symptoms of Down syndrome for attention: https://www.thedailybeast.com/the-fight-between-leon-black-and-his-new-accuser-is-getting-nasty

This guy might be able to bolster his claim of innocence, if he were to work really hard and loudly demand the full disclosure of ALL of the Epstein files. In fact, I'm convinced that anyone who is innocent of wrongdoing in this despicable saga would be doing the same thing. Only someone who really has something to hide would object to the full release.

Technically, a "good name" does not guarantee a life of "integrity." Those who focus on having a "good name" focus on how others see them. A "name" can be fabricated. Those who focus on "integrity" focus on doing right regardless how others see them. It is based on truth.

It's crazy how many rich white men got caught up in this child sex abuse honeypot operation. It's even crazier to think that this was just a coincidence with no plan or method to this madness. It is obviously a blackmail operation with many millions dollars of funding with specific goals.
