In reply to the discussion: Ahhh..so this is where Epstein got all that money [View all]hunter
(40,501 posts)31. Unfortunately there were so many big money, law enforcement, and mass media figures involved...
... that nobody, not even powerful people once removed from the mess, wanted that shit to blow up and damage our sacred financial sector.
The dead man's switch did go off and it should have exploded but it was effectively suppressed as a slow burn leaving the typical "man on the street" uncertain about the significance of it all.
Mention it to most people and the first person they'll think of is Andrew-the-former-prince, a buffoon of no political or financial consequence. Or maybe Bill Gates, a guy retired from the Big Game who seems to be regretting some terrible decisions he made with his dick. This is all by design.
