This is exactly what the Epstein class was about. Epstein was a power broker. The sex abuse was *part* of a broader corruption. People with money able to buy/blackmail people with power or influence. Does anybody think that stopped with one man's death, or isn't now happening through someone else?
The Epstein files show that Lord Mandelson was recruited and plied to support the tech bros—especially Elon Musk and Peter Thiel—in their efforts to secure contracts in the UK and to thwart regulatory efforts. And that's exactly what Mandelson did.
