Epstein used fucking Gmail.

Think of the average dumbest use case and realize there's someone dumber still.

I think that's a little different though, Epstein had blackmail material on basically everyone in power, he was basically legally untouchable, he had mutually assured pedophillic destruction. That's why they had to assassinate him.

Your broader point is correct though of course, no argument there.

When you're in the untouchables it doesn't matter.

I mean, there's a buffet of conspiracies around what happened to Epstein, but most would agree he was in jail for his crimes.

Oh yeah, that famous Florida plea bargain. How many years did it take and what surrounding circumstances finally affected his arrest? 🤓
