Government adherence/cooperation
Palm Beach Police Department - Epstein bribed the Palm Beach Police department through an LLC called C.O.U.Q. He also had his company, Florida Science Foundation pay them $128K while he was serving out his first sentence; in exchange, Epstein had the cops set up a secret camera in a clock because he claimed he got robbed; they would warn him if his victims went to the police; his body guards and staff have attested to the cops tipping him off before searching his house. Michael Reiter, the ex-Police chief called it: “the worst failure of the criminal justice system’ in modern times”.
When Epstein got popped in 2006, he brought former US Solicitor General Ken Starr and (((Allan Dershowitz))) into his defense team.
According to lead detective on the case, Joseph Ricari: "the amount of evidence which disappeared or was covered up was mind boggling," referring to a hoard of Epstein's hard-drives and computers which went missing upon a raid of his home.
(((Barry Krischer))) served as State attorney for Palm Beach during Epstein's 2006 case. He opted not to pursue felony sexual assault charges, and later received an award from the ADL, just like Epstein's defense attorney, Allen Dershowitz. Despite a Palm Beach Police investigation documenting dozens of underage victims, some as young as 14, Krischer’s office reportedly treated the survivors as "prostitutes". In an unusual move for a sex crimes case, Krischer sent the matter to a grand jury rather than filing charges directly. Prosecutors presented only a fraction of the evidence and testimony from just one victim, resulting in a single charge of solicitation of prostitution. Former Palm Beach Police Chief Michael Reiter publicly accused Krischer of "sandbagging" the case and giving Epstein special treatment, eventually referring the matter to the FBI.
State prosecutor, Lanna Belohlavek served as Chief of the Crimes Against Children Unit under State Attorney, Barry Krischer. Belohlavek presented the state's case against Epstein to a grand jury in 2006. Despite evidence from police involving multiple victims, the proceeding resulted in only one charge: felony solicitation of prostitution. Transcripts reveal that Belohlavek and her co-counsel repeatedly questioned underage victims about their own "reputations" and actions. She explicitly asked a 14-year-old victim: "You aware that you’ve committed a crime?," referring to the sexual acts as prostitution. She used victims' social media pages (e.g., MySpace) to undermine their credibility before the Grand Jury, focusing on posts about drinking or income that the victims claimed were jokes. Belohlavek was involved in negotiations with Epstein's legal team, including discussions on sex offender registration and whether he should plead to aggravated assault or solicitation. In 2015, court documents released through litigation showed that Villafaña used her personal gmail account to suggest to one of Epstein's lawyers that they file legal papers and additional jurisdiction as a way to "hopefully cut the press coverage significantly." Villafaña told Epstein's attorneys that she would: "include our standard language regarding resolving all criminal liability and I will mention co-conspirators but I would prefer not to highlight for the judge all the other crimes and all the other persons that we could charge.''
FBI deal - Documents released in 2018 indicate that Epstein may have cut a deal with the FBI: "On September 11th 2008 case agent advised writer that Epstein is currently being prosecuted by the state of Florida and is compliant with all conditions of his plea with the state of Florida. Epstein has also provided information to the FBI as agreed upon. Case agent advised that no federal prosecution will occur in this matter as long as Epstein continues to uphold his agreement with the state of Florida."
Instead of pursing a full federal prosecution, Acosta's office approved non-prosecution agreement, allowing him to be charged on the state level, and only for one account of soliciting prostitution and one account of procuring a minor for prostitution, despite all his other victims.
Epstein's recruiters, Sarah Kellen, Lesley Groff, Adriana Ross and Nadia Marcinkova got immunity for their testimony in the case.
Epstein was required to serve 13 months with 12 hours work release, six days a week. Jail records show that he would buy things like girls panties during this time; he was allowed to visit a chiropractor; he had a telephone, a computer and had food delivered to him; he was also allowed legal council with a female lawyer, who was probably just a hooker. During this time, Jess Staley of JP Morgan visited him at the behest of Jaimie Dimon; and his recruiter Jean Luc-Brunel visited him around 70 times.
When Epstein got out, he commissioned a mural to be painted of himself in prison to remind him of what could happen if I wasn't careful.
Bradly Edwards civil suit - Victim attorney Bradly Edwards filed a suit against the US government claiming that the feds failed to involve the victims in the settlement, an obligation required by the crime victim rights act. Edwards was one of the lawyers representing the women who brought the original suit against Epstein, and was working to convince a federal judge to reopen an investigation.
2019 conviction
Destroying evidence - After returning from a trip to Paris, Epstein was arrested at a New Jersey airport under suspicion of sex trafficking minors. While this was happening, the FBI raided his NY mansion, collecting a swath of material evidence including $7K in cash; nearly 50 diamonds; a fake Saudi passport; and CDs and hard drives from a safe which had been sawed into. Court documents confirmed that these CDs had ''Young (name) + (name)'' written on them. FBI special agent Kelly McGuire, working for the bureau's Child Exploitation and Human Trafficking Task Force testified that, although they had acquired a warrant to enter Epstein's home, she and her team did not yet have a warrant to confiscate any items, and that when the FBI returned 4 days later, the contents of the safe were missing, including a box labeled AV. (Adult Video) McGuire called up Epstein's lawyer Richard Khan, asking what had happened to them, after which Khan appeared at the mansion with two suitcases full of missing evidence, not including any of the CDs and video tapes of which there are photographs.
Khan was photographed, leaving the mansion with what was probably the evidence. Detective Michael Dawson testified that some computers in the home were found without their accompanying towers.
Shredder - Maritime records from 2008 revealed that Epstein shipped a 53-pound paper shredder, along with a carpet and tile extractor, to his Palm Beach residence. Epstein had properties that were untouched and not raided for months after his arrest. This would have given his people time to destroy evidence.
In 2019, District Judge in NY Richard Berman, signed a protective order keeping 15,000 pages of documents private from the public during the active.

Media control
YouTube - Sean Atwood's YouTube channel deleted, but they gave it back on the condition that he remove all of his videos on Epstein.
Ryan Dawson - The same day Ghislaine Maxwell got rearrested, they cancelled Ryan Dawson's Patreon.
Vanity Fair cover up - After being ignored by the police and FBI, Maria and Annie Farmer went to Vanity Fair journalist Vicky Ward. The article, The Talented Mr. Epstein, she wrote made little mention of his crimes other than mentioning him liking young girls; it described him as charming, having a child like innocence and praised him for a donation he made to Harvard in the science department. Ward Later blamed Vanity Fair's editor in chief Graydon Carter for succumbing to Epstein's intimidation tactics, however she herself later wrote two more articles defending Epstein and Maxwell. Maria Farmer told Whitney Webb that it was Vicky Ward who ratted to Ghislaine that they had gone to the authorities, caused her to get death threats.
ABC Cover Up - There's a leaked video of ABC journalist, Amy Robach expressing disdain for the network scrapping an exclusive interview she did with Virginia Giuffre in 2015, telling her off screen producers during a commercial break that she had the story three years ago but the network refused to air it.
