The reason the 'Epstein class' are able to get away with crimes is because in recent US elections the US voted to elect politicions that intentionally are not investigating those crimes and even pardoned some criminals convicted of them.
Now replace KYC with CCTV surveillance because thats what it really is. Complete Monetary surveillance and control to fight a boogeyman scapegoat it doesn't even actually effect.
> 9. The power of pardon conferred by the Constitution upon the President is unlimited except in cases of impeachment. It extends to every offence known to the law, and may be exercised at any time after its commission, either before legal proceedings are taken or during their pendency, or after conviction and judgment. The power is not subject to legislative control.

Basically you can't pardon acts that haven't happened yet, but you can pardon before any legal action has been taken on prior acts.

In any event, my point was all presidents who grant pardons grant them to people convicted of a crime; it’s not a recent development. But that was framed as being upsetting precedent.
