Something I can’t quite a see about Epstein is: is there anyone else like him? Even bracketing for a moment the monstrous systematic sex crimes, are there lots of super rich dudes who are just constantly emailing and texting and socializing with a who’s who of the elite or was he unique ?

Like is this a common Type of Very Rich Dude?

I’ve known and come across people who were super connected and seemed to spend all their time convening people, connecting people, cultivating networks, but those people weren’t themselves insanely wealthy billionaires.
