    The point is like Russian point. It isn’t just to silence you so trouble goes away that the whistle-blower was involved with. It’s to silence other potential whistle-blowers. It’s too send a message.

      Yeah I read somewhere that, in Russian culture, the more absurd the cover up story the more insulting it is meant to be for the victim.

      Like if someone “shot themselves 3 times in the back of the head then fell out of a window”. Maybe Epstein fits into that too
