Harvard and MIT leaders acknowledge deeper ties to Jeffrey Epstein

Could someone explain why Ghislaine Maxwell is not under scrutiny? I thought it was pretty well established she was at the very least an accessory, if not herself a perpetrator. I'm sure there are dozens, if not hundreds of others, but she seems like such an obvious next target, I'm at a loss why she's not being detained and questioned.

She also hasn’t been seen since, IIRC, the Inn&Out burger photo was a forgery

The book she was supposedly reading was titled “the secret lives and deaths of CIA operatives” (tho you can’t see the book in the face swapped photo, so this book suggestion is from an anonymous source to the New York Post)

So if you ask me she’s an intelligence operative who is now dead

Edit: the source was her attorney, I’d be questioning them, your point stands !

She might not be in the US right now and given connections between her, Epstein and Prince Andrew, the UK is likely to be very interested in not having her talking about that in public. Them and a wide range of powerful people associated with Epstein.

For the same reason, Epstein's death is extremely convenient whether or not he arranged that himself is probably never going to be cleared up.

So, I'd assume she's hiding somewhere and maybe doing something clever like writing some memoirs to be locked up in a safe in case something happens to her.

My guess is that she found some place that might not extradite her. Perusing the list of countries without US extradition treaties, if I were wealthy, I'd look at Vietnam or Montenegro as the most comfortable spots. Not that either couldn't extradite, but wealth goes a long way.

I guess it also helps that those implicated in the Epstein scandal very much don't want her extradited. I would not be surprised if she also "commits suicide" within a year.

> In August, he was found dead while in federal custody.

Interesting choice of words.

Not sure about the US but in the UK newspapers avoid the word suicide because that's a conclusion reached by coroners, and the paper is normally reporting the death before the coroner's inquest has happened.

Also in AU it's not often used to avoid copycats.

Generally news reports state "there were no suspicious circumstances" followed by a footer with phone numbers to crisis / help lines.

I thought that was the conclusion reached by the coroner.

When you are taking so much money from so many, hard to keep track of the evil do'ers.
