Maybe there are multiple bad guy camps. Maybe he's someone's bitch specifically so he won't go to prison like some sort of extortion.
What if Epstein was fucked with because he was stepping on the feet of bigger people?
...like bloods/ms13/crips eat the smaller gangs, mafias use and eat the street gangs, the cartel eats and uses the Mafia... The Mexican cartel says they have people in the American government. Trump has past ties to NYC mob families. I think people get desensitized to how real organized crime is because of Hollywood and entertainment.
Personally I think as long as one is even playing that game then they are the bad guy. ...but at the same time you can't fight it without playing it. It's like a paradox of hell.
My life.
