Jeffrey Epstein: soldi, potere e perversione

Interesting, well done series. Especially for those, like myself, who don't know a ton about the case going in. Unfortunately, it leaves so many more questions than answers. i don't blame that on the filmmakers, it's just the nature of this case.

4 episodes. 2 should have been used for victims and 2 for digging deeper into the sex trafficking aspect along with involvement of those who are powerful. The real deep purpose of Epstein doing all this is never really revealed.

The most important lines in the whole show was in episode 4 at the 41 minute mark. "This was an international sex trafficking ring. This has reached all over the world. He is a very SMALL piece in a huge network" (my emphasis).

For anyone who would know little about this story, they may come away thinking "it is good Epstein is dead and all these activities are no longer happening". NOT!!

The victimized ladies who were on the inside know a lot more than they are letting on and I hope they come out to reveal much more what they know. Virginia Robers has named the "royal" guy Andrew and Alan Dershowitz, but she said she has been with at least 30 people. Who are they? What about the other girls, who were they trafficked out to? Let's have a REAL investigation here, not just a window dressing, that puts almost all the blame on Epstein and Maxwell. Who really was behind this and financed this whole operation? And for what purpose? To me it appears that Epstein was the "middle man".

Check out Shaun Attwood on YouTube. He reveals a whole lot more. Makes this story look like family viewing.

It feels like there's still a lot of information that hasn't been uncovered or at least, hasn't been shown in this documentary, especially regarding other people that were involved. I would assume one of the reasons for that is that the case might be still under investigation, like, what material did they find in Epstein's house? It is said that he had cameras everywhere that would film who was there and what they did with the underage girls. The series mainly focus on Epstein. Because Epstein got a plea deal in his first trial in 2008 and the second trial didn't take place due to his death, the victims had very little or no opportunity to be heard, and when they talked to the press they were quickly shut down (as shown in this documentary). They are given this opportunity now in these series which concentrate more on the victims and their testimonials. We can get at times shocked at their naivety, I know I had few moments where I was shaking my head in disbelief. But it does show how well the victims were chosen due to their very young age and in most of the cases their dysfunctional background. And Epstein and his wife had a long practice of grooming, manipulation and intimidation, they knew exactly how to pick and control their victims.

These are very good series, informative and we do get quiet a lot of information that hasn't been covered in the press before. I also appreciated that the series concentrated on relevant information and are not too long (I've seen some other Netlix series that were overstretched on 8-10 episodes that could have easily been 4 or 5). Although I think we should have at least one full episode about Ghislaine Maxwell alone as she played a huge role in this scandal

Allowing the victims to speak their truth is invaluable and thus is an incredibly important service the filmmakers have done buuuutt ... there should be a different category for these than, 'documentary'. This film, the R. Kelly one, the Michael Jackson one are all just basically 5 hour long victim impact statements. To me the term, 'documentary', means someone does the arduous work of zooming out through research research research and more research and then more documents and more research and then presents the facts without an emotional heavy hand leaning one way or the other. It documents. Victim impact statements are one of the most important parts of any story but I'm not sure it should be considered the whole story or 5 hours of it. Overall though, this is impactful and definitely worth watching.

Epstein could not have done what he did without the backing and support of his associates in high and powerful places. In fact it's a fact that strings were being pulled to let him off the hook repeatedly.

It actually sickened me to see the likes of Dershowitz, Ghislaine Maxwell, Clinton and Randy Andy not even having to get on the witness stand, face their accusers and be cross examined. The rest of us get dragged into court for disputing a parking fine or Jay walking. Yet these people were involved in one of the most depraved and cruelest crimes imaginable, robbing young girls of their innocence and childhood and leaving them scarred for life, and their response? A TV interview, a blanket denial and a wall of lawyers trying to make the case disappear or cut deals.

With Epstein gone Ghislaine Maxwell should be targeted for a thorough investigation. She should be dragged in with handcuffs for questioning and forced to appear in court. Until she is cleared in a court of law she is should be considered a fugitive.
