Key Points:
- Many prominent individuals have publicly distanced themselves from Jeffrey Epstein, claiming limited knowledge of him and expressing disgust upon learning of his abuses.
- Since Epstein's 2019 arrest and subsequent death, a series of document releases have revealed extensive ties between him and some of the world's wealthiest and most powerful figures.
- Nearly three million pages of records released recently highlight ongoing social and financial connections between Epstein and elites in Hollywood, finance, politics, and fashion, even after his 2008 conviction.
- These documents contradict previous denials and illustrate the persistence of Epstein's influence within high society, though they have not significantly changed the public's understanding of his criminal activities.
