If only morality was so easy to criminalize without making it also susceptible to immoral abuse.
It just means they destroyed the evidence.
My first thought as well... Then my second thought was that they'd probably keep it (or most of it, I'm sure they'd destroy anything implicating themselves) to use as blackmail.
I remember the reports that were out around the time he got arrested, and there were countless video tapes with people's names on them. The dude had the entire place wired with cameras, the blackmail operation was likely the main source of his fortune. Someone probably has all of that.
I mean, they did that way back in 2005 and then again in 2019.
That's why all you've got left is the Little Black Book. None of the thousands of discs full of compromising recordings Epstein had built up as blackmail on his client list remain.
You can't post things like this online. Even as a joke. Some conservative is sharing this with their family, as a fact, at this very moment.
