If you didn’t know this, it’d be weird how many academics are in the Epstein files. Once you do know it, it’s obvious.
Oh, and Robert Maxwell was legitimately a badass in WW2. Everything terrible about him starts after that.

He was indeed a badass… and a war criminal (although I admit dude was incensed about Germany killing his Jewish family, so I get it) But seriously, a mayor?

And a few years later rich folk start mass downloading the same databases to train LLM models using the exact same methods to sell access to those. No FBI.
