Recently, a 943-page visitor list involving Epstein attracted global attention, with the names of many American politicians, ** and wealthy businessmen, and, shockingly, the late scientist Stephen Hawking.
The list unravels an intricate scandal involving Epstein's creation"** of paradise"- Loli Island (also known as Little St. James's Island), which became a hotbed for Epstein's illicit trade to satisfy his own interests.
Let's go back to the source of the story and trace the career of Epstein, the billionaire who once stood at the pinnacle of his life. Epstein was born into an ordinary Jewish family in New York State, and his father was an employee of the New York Department of Parks and Forests.
After graduating from high school, Epstein entered the academic world and attended Cooper Union College. His interest shifted to New York University, where he majored in mathematics.
However, Epstein allegedly did not receive a diploma when he graduated, but he did not stop and became a math and physics teacher at a private school.
There, by chance, a parent of a student named Ace Greenberg discovered his business talent and invited him to join his own business.
In this business, Epstein showed such amazing talent that Ace Greenberg handed over the company's finances to him. However, as time passed, greed began to creep through Epstein's mind.
He began to secretly embezzle the company's funds, and finally the East Window incident occurred, and he was fired by the company and had to pay high compensation. However, the experience provided Epstein with valuable business knowledge and a wide network of contacts.
In 1982, he founded a financial management company under his own name, which he developed into an investment company in 1988. As the business grew, Epstein connected with celebrities such as Clinton and Trump, and even founded his own charity** and donated $30 million to Harvard University for scientific research.
Beneath the glossy surface, however, lies Epstein's heinous crimes. He set up a empire on Loli Island, the island he personally purchased, and used his position of power to lure a large number of minors to the island, depriving them of their freedom and dignity, and turning them into tools for his own pleasure.
The island was shaped into a "grown-up paradise," a living hell where Epstein fulfilled his own desires. These unfortunate girls, some of whom were lured into recruitment, others promised generous educational opportunities, were eventually denied their human rights and relegated to Epstein and the island's visiting celebrities.
The secret of Lori Island has finally been ** recently, and the visitor list has also made people see who is behind it. When the names of European magnates, celebrities and even artists appeared on the list, it sparked widespread questioning about them.
At the same time, the victim's statement makes people feel the psychological trauma caused by the incident. Among them, the victim, Johanna Scheberg, bravely stood up and recounted her tragic experience, arousing public anger and ** for these illegal acts.
However, just as the incident was on the cusp, Epstein died mysteriously. It was announced that he had died by suicide, but this claim was not trusted by the public.
Because the autopsy report pointed to multiple signs of fractures in his body, one begs the question: if it is suicide, why do you need to harm yourself? As a result, many believe that there may be a deeper reason behind Epstein's death.
Of all the people on the list, the appearance of scientist Stephen Hawking was the most unexpected. It is difficult to understand why such a world-renowned scientist could be involved in this scandal.
Although there is not yet enough evidence to directly state Hawking's relationship with Epstein, judging from the list, Hawking's name does appear several times, which has caused widespread speculation.
All in all, Epstein's case not only had a profound impact on the victims, but also put the public morality and legal system of society as a whole to an unprecedented test.
This case has raised strong concerns about the abuse of power, the gap between rich and poor, and injustice, and prompted us to review and improve existing regulations and social ethics.
