A year ago Epstein told an NYT columnist he had the dirt on high society.

nytimes.com/2019/08/12/bus…

"His very notoriety, he said, was what made so many people willing to confide in him. Everyone, he suggested, has secrets and, he added, compared with his own, they seemed innocuous. People confided in him without feeling awkward or embarrassed, he claimed."

He was like a pastor, a confessor to his pariahish church.

So I'm guessing things were an open secret in certain parts.

"Behind him was a table covered with more photographs. I noticed one of Mr. Epstein with former President Bill Clinton, and another of him with the director Woody Allen. Displaying photos of celebrities who had been caught up in sex scandals of their own also struck me as odd."

What's really odd was the NYT guy wanted to talk about Tesla but Epstein kept going back to the twisted stuff. I think Epstein was trying to plant something but the columnist didn't catch his drift.

As for the photographs, they were hunting trophies mounted on his wall.
