The Telegraph piece shows Epstein involved in a £1bn banking deal with Mandelson and JP Morgan, *after* his conviction.
Far as I understand things, the law does not prevent convicted sex offenders from participating in business or lobbying (except if the conviction is directly linked to financial crime).
So what is so striking here is not the legality issue but the willingness of these very senior figures - Mandelson, Jes Staley, JP Morgan - to continue to deal with Epstein after his conviction. I mean, normally reputational risk alone would surely make politicians and bankers run a mile. It's incomprehensible.
So this fits in with the theory I've held from the beginning. He wasn’t a financial genius, just a conduit, a fixer, a useful idiot, someone useful to very powerful people.
He organised sex parties along the way, but really he wasn't bringing people together for that - his main job was a conduit bringing together people from western intelligence services for special ops.
This is how he became a billionaire on paper at least: the payments made and received for many special ops services went through his account. His own background would have given no clues to his brilliant career to come.
The sex scandals may have been real, but they are a diversion. The real story is how politics, finance, and intelligence networks will linked through Epstein and his account, has told him it's Daily Telegraph article, and this is the reason for the cover up.
This explains the otherwise incomprehensible: how a man with no academic brilliance and no clear career track could broker billion-pound banking deals with ministers and Wall Street executives even after being convicted.
It's the usual old shell game on a street corner, the Epstein scandal makes you guess under the wrong cup. The sex is the show while the pea is the power and the real purpose.
