A former drug dealer explains why nobody will go to jail for the Epstein Files

A self-professed former drug dealer (@we_are_all_students on TikTok) gave his take on why the culprits in the Epstein files will not be held accountable. It’s a cynical view of a system that has yet to investigate or release all the relevant names in the files.

“The FBI investigated it for years and produced millions of documents, but they can’t prosecute anybody? We all know that’s bullshit,” said the man. It’s not just the FBI that investigated the files, but also other crime agencies from other countries. Even the disgraced Andrew Mountbatten-Windsor of the United Kingdom was arrested under suspicion of misconduct in public office due to his ties with sex offender Jeffrey Epstein.

Apart from Ghislaine Maxwell, no other person has been investigated and arrested for their ties with Epstein in the United States.

“If you look at how they take down drug kingpins, you can understand it better. They don’t start at the top. They start with somebody who got caught with a little bit of drugs and tell them either ‘You’re going to jail, or you can tell us where you got it.’ Then, they give up a name, then they catch that person with drugs, then they tell them the same thing,” the ex-dealer said. He claims that the process repeats itself until they’re able to nab the higher-level members in the syndicate.

What makes the people in the Epstein files difficult to prosecute

“Going to prison is a motivator to turn someone else in. But pretty much everybody associated with Epstein was among the richest and the most powerful people in the world,” he reminds the viewers. But even gang members who are in the higher ranks also have wealth at their disposal. Would it be so different?

He explained, “You might think that means they can hire lawyers to defend themselves, but on the other hand, if any of them got arrested, they would be able to hire lawyers and private detectives and pull strings and find ways to get themselves out of trouble—and that’d probably include taking other people down. So, it’s in all their interest for none of them to be prosecuted.”

Those who have the power to evade the law will exhaust all means to do so. This is even more so applicable for the global elite. Although the man’s argument applies to any system, its impact is amplified in the United States. The victims of Epstein are yet to receive justice in the United States, and victims like Virginia Giuffre have already died before those responsible could even be incarcerated.

“A lot of time, we’re given the illusion that the legal system is a justice system. Even if that means somebody has to be a scapegoat. But when everybody involved is rich and powerful, the veil comes off,” the man cynically added.

No justice for the economically disadvantaged

“Two million people are currently in prisons, in jails. Almost all of them are poor. Any sort of disadvantage significantly increases the chances you’ll be incarcerated,” he claimed. “Meanwhile, if you’re rich and powerful, you’re very unlikely to ever go to prison, even if you do something wrong.” The man believes that the system is not broken. Rather, the system is designed the way it is by those in the Epstein files to penalize the poor.

Needless to say, the justice system has failed victims in many cases. This doesn’t mean that there can be no hope for accountability, though. Part of the files had been released, thanks to public pressure.

Moreover, Epstein, as an issue, is not dying despite lesser coverage of it. A nonprofit called The Institute for Primary Facts established “The Donald J. Trump and Jeffrey Epstein Memorial Reading Room.” The library features 3.5 million pages of the Epstein files in hardbound copies, and it will be available until May 21.
