    Not sure how true this is given:

    Anyone who did not successfully fight to keep their name out of the civil case could see their name become public – including Epstein’s victims, co-conspirators and innocent associates.

    I imagine anyone who was innocent and an associate had the money to hire the right lawyers to remove themselves.

    I also imagine those who should be on it, also won’t be.

      And everyone is mystified how groups like the Roman Catholic Church were able to suppress stories of child raise and trafficking for quite literally over a thousand years. Seriously a document was found from before the first crusades talking about it.

      The crime doesn’t go to criminal trial because the family is bribed and threatened. Then it is in civil matter and the records get sealed. Priest goes and rapes another kid. Rinse lather repeat.

      Epstein was incredibly well connected, so this statement is dubious at best.

      I also imagine those who should be on it, also won’t be.

      This is correct. 0% of people “associated” with Epstein have any evidence against them of his crimes, or they’d have been charged as co-conspirators.
