I think Epstein was smarter than that. His superpower was bankstering. It is a lot easier to get away with huge crimes in an industry where the product (money) is imaginary and more can be created at will by the central banks any time they feel the need.

You get hooked up with the international drug cartels and you could find yourself hanging from a rope in a dismal cell late at night.

D'oh !
