Epstein is part of the infrastructure which allows the transnational financial industrial complex (FIC) to control the world. Partizipation in highly illegal and unethical activities creates a system of mutual assured destruction. Defecting or not obeying to the FIC will leed to destruction of ones life by exposing the horrific crimes one committed. Its the way how the mafia works internally. The way how to build reliability in an environment of zero trust. Every Dollar you spend or earn is part of the blood system of the FIC. Taxes are the least relevant part. Only way out is to hold Bitcoin in self custody and/or gold. Simon Dixon has very good content regarding this. Whitney Webb wrote 2 boohs about the history of that system: Nation under blackmail.
