I get that Epstein's mansion in New York is freaking huge but really? Contractors or workers wouldn't have some issues with that crap? And talk about them? Epstein doesn't strike me as a DIYer.biobioprof said:got me!aggiehawg said:Aaannd? Don't trust them either.Quote:

I worked on a lot of expensive houses when I was younger. Most of the owners are super nice people and don't give you cause for concern, and why would they? They're paying you to fix or build something, not sacrifice a lamb at a satan worshipper's altar. I'd say your assessment is accurate, but we peeked around a few more corners than we probably should have. The rich have some sweet cribs.Scruffy said:
As someone who has worked in facilities maintenance, I can say they don't look for things; and if questionable things are seen, they don't see those either.
Only if obvious and dangerous law breaking was found would reporting it be considered.
On an island he owns and is probably worked on by either poor locals or specialty contractors flown out, they wouldn't "see" anything either.
Keep in mind, even in NYC, if there were contractors out to repair something they would go directly to what was broken and work on that. For a nice place such as he has/had, they might ease their heads around a corner or two just to see how the uber-rich lived but other than telling friends how crazy it was (even if they saw a dead hooker being eaten by naked children) they probably wouldn't say anything because:
1) they know someone with that much money is above the law.
2) they need work and that job paid. If they were to snitch on everything they saw they would lose work.
What about these folks?Quote:
Per the New York Times, Epstein's $56 million Manhattan home contained a number of features that, even if he weren't an alleged child molester, would easily be considered deeply weird. Among them: "A mural that Mr. Epstein had commissioned in recent years: a photorealistic prison scene that included barbed wire, corrections officers and a guard station, with Mr. Epstein portrayed in the middle."
Public relations specialist R. Couri Hay told the Times that he'd visited Epstein's home for a meeting and to see the mural three months ago. Hay recounted to the Times that Epstein said: "That's me, and I had this painted because there is always the possibility that could be me again."
The Upper East Side homewhose massive front doors police pried open with a crowbar during their weekend raidalso reportedly features a hallway festooned with fake eyes initially created for injured soldiers. And in a particularly grotesque detail given the allegations against him, he also decorated his home with "a life-size female doll hanging from a chandelier," according to the Times.
Even Epstein's chess set was enough to trigger major creep alarms. One visitor to the home told the newspaper the set featured "custom figurines dressed in underwear each piece, he noted, was modeled after one of his staffers."
During his initial court appearance on Monday, attorneys for Epsteinwho pleaded not guilty to the charges against himclaimed that because there had been no threats of violence or coercion against the girls Epstein is accused of assaulting, he could not be considered a rapist.

During the 2006-2007 probe in South Florida, federal agents considered charging Epstein with witness tampering because he used some of his employees to try to intimidate victims so that they wouldn't cooperate with police, court records reviewed by the Herald show.
In one instance, a victim's father told Palm Beach police that he had been followed by someone and forced off the road. He wrote down the car's license plate number and police traced it to a private investigation company that had been hired by Epstein's legal team, the police report about the incident said.
Epstein's investigators also followed the then-Palm Beach police chief, Michael Reiter, and the lead detective in the case, Joe Recarey. Recarey said he was so concerned about the aggressive tactics Epstein was using that he would often switch vehicles in an attempt to throw them off.
"At some point it became like a cat-and-mouse game. I would stop at a red light and go. I knew they were there, and they knew I knew they were there. I was concerned about my kids because I didn't know if it was someone that they hired just out of prison that would hurt me or my family,'' Recarey told the Herald as part of its series on the case.
Recarey, who died shortly after he was interviewed by the Herald, said the victims, who were as young as 13, were scared to death of Epstein, and even more so because of the private investigators and defense lawyers who dug into every dark corner of their lives, and the lives of their brothers, sisters, parents and boyfriends.

At least a dozen new victims have come forward to claim they were sexually abused by Jeffrey Epstein even as the multimillionaire money manager tries to convince a federal judge to allow him to await a sex trafficking trial from the comfort of the same $77 million Manhattan mansion where he's accused of luring teenage girls into unwanted sex acts.
Following Epstein's arrest Saturday in New Jersey, four women have reached out to New York lawyer David Boies, and at least 10 other women have approached other lawyers who have represented dozens of Epstein's alleged victims in the past.
Sounds like the floodgates are opening. Not going to be a way to stop this locomotive. Everyone involved in this should be crapping their pants right about nowaggiehawg said:Much More HereQuote:
