Here's what we know...A former US high-school teacher schmuck pretends to be a billionaire financier and -- somehow -- gets the Royal family, the Clintons and Bill Gates entangled with his odd system (and what really was his system anyways?) all the while this wealthy lady from a well known European family grooms and sends considerable numbers of child sex victims his way. I am going to go out on a limb and say that those children weren't all intended to go to the schmuck.
If you go far enough out on a limb, the branch will snap and you'll fall into a rabbit hole of unsubstantiated conspiracy theories.
Coping mechanism
There is nothing too thin about the limb the comment above just described. Maxwell really is from a wealthy and well connected UK business family, she really did traffic many, many minors and she really did have many connections (both through Epstein and through other channels) to a whole bunch of wealthy, powerful people in many countries and cities. That an indictment would simply structure its argument as her trafficking these minors just to Epstein sounds a lot more unusual than claiming the opposite, that she instead trafficked them to many well-connected people through Epstein. You or anyone calling all of these essential details "a rabbit hole of "unsubstantiated conspiracy theories" is truly missing the forest for the trees.
It isn't plausible that Epstein was a brilliant money manager and was pervy as a hobby. It was the other way around: He made and sold blackmail material and his cover story was being a money guy.
