Why did Jeffrey Epstein build a 'temple' on his island, and ship himself a 53-pound paper shredder, plus a tile and carpet extractor?

Suitcase full of money. Head to a country with no extradition in a luxury cargo container. Recent digging on his connections and leverage suggest it needn’t even be his money.

(Popular media suggests Venezuela)

But realistically, if he goes to jail for the rest of his life he will be more comfortable in Club Fed than anywhere he can escape to. The only reason he would want to escape is to rape more teens.

I am sorry for being so depressing.

In this country, in this state we’re in, if anything happens to any of these people (Trumpus included), I’ll be astounded.

*At this point I’m convinced that white America wants to have a threesome with the American flag and the national anthem in a Russian prostitute’s pee-soaked bed.

*last sentence borrowed (stolen) from Stephen Crocket of The Root cause it’s better than anything I could come up with by far.

Don’t put your money on SDNY since Barr took over. It looks like he spiked the investigation into the Trump Organization.

The images on Google Maps and Street View are routinely years out of date, so unless you have a trick to check the capture date of these pictures, I think the simplest explanation is that the pictures that show the dome are old.

If you do have a way to check the age of the imagery in Google Maps, do tell us! I’d love to have such a thing.

If he flees to Canada, we can save on production costs by filming in Canada and calling it the Eh? Team.

Dude you need to get your hands on the secret of monkey island. It’ll help fuel your dream. Plus it’s a classic adventure game and has been remastered so it’s modern pretty too.

Here’s how to find historical street view images if they’re available (they’re not necessarily available for every place that you might want to look at, though, in my experience). Someone else might know a handier way…but this is how I get there:

  1. For an example, here’s my local food co-op on Google maps, just to pick a public place I happen to know. Screen shot:

  1. Click on the street view in the upper left and you get this, with a dropdown menu:

  1. Click on the dropdown and now you can use the slider to choose historical views:

(I’m surprised they don’t have a newer image, but I saw the google car go down Franklin Ave just the other week, so there may be new images for this area soon. I may even be in them.)

I hope that helps scratch your curiosity-itch…Don’t blame me if you spend too much time looking around, he he. I find it pretty fascinating, myself :smiley:

Yeah, I was just reading about how Epstein just slid right back into “high society” after his conviction. No one gave a damn so long as he still had money, apparently.

At the risk of going off topic, and really, who doesn’t want a break from the creep…This principle is great, and spot on. I’ve been acquainted with seriously rich folks before, and it always surprised me how they could go on these amazing vacations for far less money than if I wanted to go to the same spot and stay in a medium/decent hotel,* because they would stay in a friend’s villa, or borrow the yacht, or whatever.
I’ve been very poor and now work in a program helping people living on very low incomes and it’s expensive to be poor. Doing laundry costs more. Fixing the car costs more because you can’t get a decent one to start with, all of it.

*this was pre-Airbnb, so not sure how well this comparison holds up now, but it think it’s probably still true.

Wow, that’s awesome, thanks! I think I would never would have found that tiny control on my own.

Goodness, the street-view history seems like quite a random jumble. I saw the Google street view car drive through my neighborhood a couple of years ago, but no photos from that trip are evident. That area was photographed twice in the fall of 2018 - but those are the only available shots in an 11-year span. Strange!

Somehow, I think that a lot of the evil crap we all see is being used to hid the evil deeds of the mafioso elites running things. Wars, racism, police brutality and murder, guns, abortion, whatever are all used to hide things like the Lolita’s Sex Slave Express.

Pro-life? Pro-choice? Whatever! Just don’t pay to some truly evil stuff over here. Look over there! Ducks!

Strange that of the few things that really make Americans as a nation really unhappy, that of not just underage sex, but an actual sex trafficking ring for the sexual exploitation of underage girls and boys by the wealthy, the politically powerful, and the socially well connected goes mostly uncovered and unpunished for at least two decades.

It’s an old system. I remember learning in Latin class about the Roman hospitality network. If you were an average schmo travelling from one city or another in the Republic or Empire and didn’t want to deal with insects and rodents and thieves by sleeping rough by the roadside, you paid a premium to stay in an inn where you’d have a slightly better chance of avoiding those things. If you were a travelling patrician, however, you could spend a night or two at another wealthy person’s clean country villa waited upon by servants, all for the price of being willing and able and known to reciprocate. A variation of that system currently exists in the West, (more in European circles than American ones).

This particular expression of the “Boots” theory is very much on-topic. If, as is seeming more and more likely, Epstein made his money by blackmailing wealthy paedophiles into “investing” in his do-nothing hedge fund, being Mr. Hospitality would have been an effective means to that end. Not only does giving away free plane rides and yacht and private island vacations and lavish parties provide opportunities to tempt and entrap paying marks with those proclivities but also provides a way to cultivate the friendships of powerful and influential people and the favours and sheen of respectability they can provide in return.

Thanks, Kathy. Now I can kill myself without regret. /s

Good to have the necessary implements at hand. One never knows when one might have to dig up a tile floor, for some reason.
