When the Trump-Epstein empire is blown up, he loses blackmail power (and power is money. Money is the only meaningful thing to him) and his money-laundering (for Putin, presumably.)
He always lived by threat and money-laundering. A mafia "Don".

He is gone. World leaders are gone (know any FORMER princes?), GOP legislators are gone. Business tycoons are gone and maybe even five random people.



Independent investigations, including the Bank of America suit, and Ron Wyden's efforts, will show the money trail., Al Capone died of the effects of syphilis (as will Jabba the Orange Hutt) but the money trail sent him up.

The web of blackmail is bigger than this, which includes innocent people Epstein courted to look "nice"
