there could well be some people pulled in for non- corrupt reasons. Being valuable to powerful people was the source of his wealth. The NYT article on Chase gave examples of how he introduced people who then made mutually lucrative deals.

Bill Clinton has never been one of my favorite Democrats, but JUST being able to name-drop that Epstein offered him his plane for trips through Africa for the foundation would be valuable enough to make it worthwhile. It could be that there was nothing wrong there asking Clinton's Foundation followed any reporting regulations.
