If it is not the case that Jeffrey Epstein was running a criminal sex trafficking ring, then the island isn’t actually proof of villainy, and is actually proof that the strategy is pretty weak, since (as the post says) it can be replicated easily by people who are not guilty (of running a criminal sex trafficking ring— he was guilty of a lot besides that).
I wanted to share the AP News “FBI concluded Jeffrey Epstein wasn’t running a sex trafficking ring for powerful men, files show”. You might think this is unimportant, but generalizing from fictional evidence is bad, so if the evidence is fiction, it is bad to generalize from (and if it is not fictional, it is not bad-for-this-reason to generalize from †).
