I don't think there's any reason to find a replacement for Epstein. There's almost certainly other people already running those sorts of events. Jared Leto has a sex cult island. I think they're all consenting adults, but you know he's trading favors to producers that want to visit so he can keep getting movie roles.
There were also single contact people that can be explained by Epstein operating a honeypot. If he couldn't work with you, he would get blackmail on you. And then you get scenes like this in The Simpsons after Matt Groening's name appeared on the flight list.
Taking the lord’s name in vain doesn't mean swearing "god damn it!" It means claiming to be of the faith to swindle people. That's exactly what they're doing now.
Given these new revelations, I wouldn't be surprised if getting contacted by Epstein was a motivator for selling and getting out of the game. I remember when he was called to testify before congress, he didn't want to do it thought he could turn it down. He really only founded the site to get hentai.
That's been debunked. Or rather, it's never been replicated.
