First of all, I think Epstein was a piece of shit, the kind who is all too common in the financial industry, and nobody has yet explained how he amassed so much money. Nevertheless, he killed himself or was murdered depending on who you believe. He paid the ultimate price.
But isn´t there something a bit suspicious about a “compensation fund” awarding US$121 million to his 150 “victims”? That works out to almost a million dollars per ”victim”. And some have rejected this amount, presumably on their lawyers´ advice, in the hope of getting more. This fund was also available to girls who had already been compensated. Bonus day!
I´ve seen a couple of series in which victims gave their versions – Netflix devoted four hours to them – and I was less than impressed by the “innocence” of some of them. They may have been below the age of consent at the time of the sexual encounters with Epstein but they knew their way round the block. They got US$100 for “massaging” him and then persuaded their sisters and cousins to come along the next time.
The fund administrator, Jordana Feldman, said “I am proud of what we were able to accomplish with this programme, but also recognise that no amount of money will erase the years of pain these victims have endured because of Jeffrey Epstein.” Sounds like crocodile tears to me.
I look forward to Ghislaine Maxwell´s testimony at her trial in November. That is if she lives that long.
