We already know that Prince Andrew was heavily involved but who else do you think will be named?

The disclosure isn't complete, it's only the people who haven't been excluded in previous orders.

As all the perpetrators are rich and can afford fancy lawyers, that mainly just leaves the victims.

So yeah, the victims are the ones that will get fucked over. Again.

[–] Evia@lemmy.world 47 points 2 years ago (1 children)

Anybody important will have had their name removed from the list already. After seeing the fallout for Prince Nonce of Nonceville, nobody else wants to be tarred with that brush

[–] cheese_greater@lemmy.world 12 points 2 years ago (2 children)

I mean, its been public knowledge that Andrew is to be named. Or at least that he's sweating it out

[–] Evia@lemmy.world 4 points 2 years ago (1 children)
[–] cheese_greater@lemmy.world 2 points 2 years ago (1 children)

I just mean everyone's implying all the rich and truly awful have made sure they are off the record by now which is clearly not the case with Andrew, leading me to question the sincerity or validity of that speculation hehe

[–] Evia@lemmy.world 2 points 2 years ago

Ahh, got you now, sorry for the confusion. I think Prince Nonce didn't have the advanced notice (or the social equity (he was already disliked before this came out)) to buy his way out. Whereas people being announced this week have had months of advanced notice

[–] Followupquestion@lemm.ee 2 points 2 years ago

Come on now, you know that it’s sworn testimony that Prince Andrew doesn’t sweat.

[–] Diabolo96@lemmy.dbzer0.com 42 points 2 years ago (2 children)

Of course, [REDACTED] will be there, along with [REDACTED] and [REDACTED], and oh, did I forgot to mention [REDACTED] ?

[–] Wodge@lemmy.world 18 points 2 years ago (1 children)

The things [REDACTED] did to [REDACTED] while [REDACTED] directed them in front of an audience consisting of [REDACTED] and Prince [REDACTED] is utterly repugnant.

[–] Neon@lemmy.world 13 points 2 years ago (1 children)

i love how you redacted Prince [REDACTED] because there are so many of them

[–] mysoulishome@lemmy.world 1 points 2 years ago* (last edited 2 years ago)

Prince [And The Revolution]

[–] mouserat@discuss.tchncs.de 2 points 2 years ago

Not [REDACTED] NO WAY! He's in my favorite movie, it'll never be the same!

[–] frankramblings@reddthat.com 35 points 2 years ago (1 children)

One can only hope the Trumps and Clintons get taken down, but that’s too optimistic

[–] phillaholic@lemm.ee 1 points 2 years ago

Worse thing you're going to see about bill Clinton is he flew on the plane. Epstein lent his plane out for various people to take to any number of places, charity events, whatever. There was some rumors about a pilot claiming Clinton visited the Island, but nothing that was confirmed by a second source that I recall. https://www.washingtontimes.com/news/2024/jan/1/bill-clinton-identified-as-john-doe-36-among-170-n/

[–] JusticeForPorygon@lemmy.world 33 points 2 years ago (1 children)

I think our taxes just paid for a large shipment of sharpies to be sent to the Dept. of Justice building, that's what I think.

[–] Adderbox76@lemmy.ca 33 points 2 years ago (1 children)

Just like they've always done, they'll throw a couple of their own to the wolves to distract the pitchfork weilding townsfolk (that's us) just long enough for us to stick our heads back down into our smartphones and gadgets and forget the entire business.

Just like the sacrificed Weinstein and Spacey to our public ire and then quietly stayed under the radar long enough to forget how many other celebrities are doing the same thing.

The powerful stay powerful by distraction and subterfuge. This will be no different.

[–] TIMMAY@lemmy.world 5 points 2 years ago (1 children)

lmao bs no way this is accurate btw have you heard that aliens are real and the government has a bunch of ships and bodies hidden somewhere /s

[–] thallamabond@lemmy.world 24 points 2 years ago* (last edited 2 years ago)

Leslie Wexner the owner of Victoria secret and the man who gifted Epstein his New York Mansion. But maybe not because he has money.

[–] FlashMobOfOne@lemmy.world 16 points 2 years ago (1 children)

It doesn't matter.

We know Bill Clinton and Donald Trump were very involved, and the partisans of this country would vote for both again at the drop of a hat.

[–] SkybreakerEngineer@lemmy.world 11 points 2 years ago

Both are constitutionally ineligible, but only one is trying

[–] cabron_offsets@lemmy.world 15 points 2 years ago (3 children)
[–] TechyDad@lemmy.world 1 points 2 years ago

And his followers will excuse it in one of two ways:

  1. It's all fake. They'll claim that the Democrats swapped the real list for the released "fake" list and that the real list has Biden's name, not Trump's. Their proof? Some YouTube video linked to from a Facebook post where a white guy wearing sunglasses in his truck says he saw the real list with Biden's name on it!

  2. Trump was undercover. They'll claim that Trump was actually working undercover to expose these people. Being on the flight logs "proves" that he was only there to spy on these people. Why? Non-specific Excuse! Therefore, Trump's name on Epstein's list is actually a good thing and they support him more!

Meanwhile, the rest of us will scream in frustration.

[–] Zerlyna@lemmy.world 1 points 2 years ago

You can do anything when you’re a star, right? 🤬

[–] Pratai@lemmy.ca 1 points 2 years ago

Only it’ll be spelled: REDACTED.

[–] kandoh@reddthat.com 15 points 2 years ago

I'm guess no less than 4 sitting senators.

[–] Cyberflunk@lemmy.world 12 points 2 years ago
  • releases 4 names of people who are already dead *
[–] Linkerbaan@lemmy.world 11 points 2 years ago

Let's take a moment to remember that Epstein didn't kill himself.

Nobody that matters is gonna be on that list

[–] xc2215x@lemmy.world 4 points 2 years ago

Prince Andrew.

[–] Hyperreality@kbin.social 3 points 2 years ago

I suspect Kimbal Musk will be on the list and perhaps his more famous brother. I also expect the Musks to face no real consequences from it, because society is still fundamentally unfair and shit floats.

[–] NegativeLookBehind@kbin.social 3 points 2 years ago

People will have forgotten about it a few weeks after it's released, and nothing will happen to anyone in the report. "Justice" is dead, unless you're a commoner.

[–] Montagge@kbin.social 3 points 2 years ago

This'll have as many consecutive as the Panama papers. A journalist or two will be executed and a scapegoat or two will face a slap on the wrist.

[–] phillaholic@lemm.ee 1 points 2 years ago (1 children)

There will be innocent people on this list, and those people will be harmed more than the those on the list that aren't innocent. You need to keep in mind that Epstein used paling around with famous people as cover. There will be names that associated with him before anything improper came out about him including flying on his plane. A name on this list doesn't mean anything by itself. Don't let the ones that are tied to specific situations get away with it by spreading blame onto people who are on a list without any specific allegations.

[–] Blamemeta@lemm.ee -1 points 2 years ago

I think its going to be censored, names are going to be scrubbed. I doubt its going to be the full list.

All the list is, is a list of whoever pissed off the government and went to the Island.
