So he’s not hiding the files just because he is a co-conspirator but because these files would presumably shine a light on his own, independent heinous crimes.

I mean people don’t know where Epstein’s initial capital came from. He wasn’t independently wealthy. He must have had some sort of secret financing from some silent of silent partner

I swear he ran a pedo-brothel of sorts and acted like these mega rich people's friend but blackmailed them for money and silence. These poor surviving girls/women know that these are powerful people that abused them and would probably be killed for talking out. Who knows who he was working for CIA or Mossad. I just wish someone would release it all and let the pieces fall on whoever is guilty.

I think it’s probably more likely that he was hand-selected to head up the pedo-brothel enterprise. Some very powerful people said “we’re going to make you a billionaire but when this goes sideways you’re the one going down, not us.”
