I don’t think that was actually his motivation. I think he legit got off of having that power over people. ESPECIALLY people who have power and influence that dwarf his own, originally. BUT ALSO, the files show that he actually had a support structure and people that legit liked him (probably mostly cause of the evil shit he could pull off of their entertainment and “pleasure” shudder). So, no, even as a shower thought it’s off-base.
Happy he’s dead though, fuck him. People like him make me hope for a hell.
HEY MAYBE. It does kinda seem like Epstein may have had some spy training. But I just don’t get the impression that he was doing it to protect himself, it felt like “love of the game”. He didn’t really seem like someone that was fearing for his life till the very end when the doors started closing around him.
