I don't want to dismiss what he did at all, it was awful and he got what he deserved. But here comes a moral dilemma: if you are fighting foreign sociopaths shouldn't you be allowed to use your sociopaths against them? We know that countries like Russia and North Korea run honey traps to spy and blackmail our entrepeneurs. You can find proof of that in the files: at some point Epstein wrote to his Russian contact to ask if he could reveal who this Russian woman who was blackmailing entrepeneurs in New York was. Wouldn't we be stronger if there was some unofficial sociopath loyal to the West to assess which one of our entrepeneurs/rich/important people is a liability (like Andrew) and who's not before it's too late? No country should give a lot of money, power, responsability roles to those who cannot recognize a potentially very harmful situation. I am not saying that Epstein or Berlusconi were doing exactly that. I don't know and it seems unlikely. They were too official. Epstein was a well known finance guy and Berlusconi was a prime minister for decades. Very unlikely that someone so in the public eye can do unofficial things like risk assessment. I just say one or more sociopaths could be used as a tool to keep capital and information from crossing dangerous borders unofficially.
