He gave fake addresses and hid on remote islands, just like he did for Covid. He is still a board member for the American company Alphabet. He stepped down in 2019.

    Every oligarch is a pedophile until proven otherwise.

    And even then, any supposed evidence of their innocence should be suspect.

    Really, it’s just much be easier to assume that they are all pedophiles.

    You’ll be right far more often than you’re wrong.

      Does it even matter if they’re pedophiles?

      Being an oligarchs is magnitudes larger of a crime.

        Yes, it does.

        For starters, it matters because their crimes have victims. So saying those crimes don’t matter means those victims don’t matter.

        Additionally, it’s incredibly helpful for public framing and understanding, especially for the people who aren’t inclined to hold their immense wealth against them.

          Are there really people who would turn on them if they’re pedophiles but not if they’re fucking all of us? Seems the later would be easier to convince people of.

          The kid raping seems like a symptom of their power, not an independent disease. Cure them of that, and they won’t be able to get away with hurting people.

            Yes there really are. Some days it makes sense to me, some days it doesn’t, but the Epstein thing is the only thing that cuts through Fox News.

      If we just kill them all to be safe that would be best. The overall impact on the world population would be insignificant

    How is that remotely mildly infuriating? That is just regular infuriating. Start riots and pull out guillotines infuriating.

    At this point, it’s actually easier to just list the ones who aren’t on it. We need a complete fresh start. Like a complete wipeout of a full class of “people” to cleanse the planet from them. This is disgusting.

    Long ago he worked with Sergey Brin to develop PageRank, the revolutionary web search engine, all so someday his life would put him in contact with Jeffery Epstein.
