How on earth is info on securities fraud worth not prosecuting child rape! Of multiple defendents!?

How on earth is information on securities fraud worth not prosecuting child rape! Of multiple defendants!? This is dirty.

Seems like losing $57M was an incredibly lucky break for Epstein. In May 2007, the FBI was gearing up to arrest him. At that same time he was talking to Bear Stearns and trying to sell his subprime investment.... and in doing so, became an informant in a securities fraud case.

And the information Epstein gave the FBI that was apparently worth him not being charged federally for child sex trafficking? It was about how he lost $57 million in the subprime market after a Bear Stearns hedge fund manager talked him out of selling his shares in April 2007.






In May 2007, the FBI prepared for arrests and detention hearings for multiple defendants in the case. It wasn't just Epstein.
