    yeah but the question is “where do they meet now?”

    because lets face it, all the rape, pedophilia, murder, emails, etc didn’t suddenly just stop because one guy “killed himself”. Someone replaced him.

    I want to know who the new guy is and where they all go now.

      The crazy part is people that rich were so not worried about their communications that they didn’t even bother to encrypt their emails, or host their own communication servers so ensure the data wouldn’t get turned over immediately if something went wrong.

            There are, but the law dislikes the competition and few militaries are willing to try against those in the USA. People are murdered for ill deeds (both bombed and shot on the street), and kidnapped by gangs or “special forces”.

                There are more, but we run into issues with sorting motivations and which victims we mean to include. Periodically a rapist or murderer will be killed by the family of the victim when the perpetrator is felt to get a disproportionate punishment. Widening the geographic scope, I understand Uday and Qusay Hussein were killed in a shootout with the USA military. As previously stated, whom to include is a difficult decision.

      Bezos has the phallic rockets. Musk has the propaganda machine and electoral tampering. Thiel working in the deathbots and Skynet

      Zuckerberg maybe? Or maybe Ellison, he’s got property in a good location for volcano-lairs.

    They probably still meet on an island. Epstein’s client list still exists. There were more than just Epstein involved in his organization. The trust is managed by someone and people are still in the island

      Yeah, we like to glorify individuals, but just about every big endeavor, both good and bad, comes from people working together. An organization like Epstein’s Island was big enough that it definitely had more people running it than just the 2 big players we know about. Someone from upper management seized the reins and has things running smoothly again by now, I’m sure. We shouldn’t be acting like things have been halted - there’s still a lot of work to be done to save the victims of the wealthy.

    The multimillionaires aren’t invited to those meets. In 2026, if you are a multimillionaire, you are considered an underclass. That’s a ten-digit+ club they’re talking about.

    This a recent favorite bit about Epstein, that jokes about normalizing knowing Epstein. It’s from legendary comedy writer Jim Downey when he was on Conan O’Brien’s podcast.

    I put it here because it kind of tangentially makes a similar point as the main post. A somewhat normal person has no need to explain that they didn’t know Epstein. It’s ridiculous on its face. In fact, a normal person would have to go a long way to explain how they hell they knew him.

    But it seems like we can assume that everybody rich and famous, and especially rich, went to his island and committed sex crimes.

    I have no doubt there are several big rings around the world. China, Japan, India, SEA, they all have billionaires and all have their own rings, don’t you think?

    The 40th annual Forbes list of the world’s billionaires found a record 3,428 billionaires with a total net worth of $20.1 trillion. This represents an increase of 309 members and $4 trillion compared to 2025.

    The conspiracy is that all of them know what’s good for them solely is also good for the others in their rich person club. They networked, colluded, and talked in college about ways to become wealthier. Just some people facilitated places to meet up is all to further discussion as time went on.
