Look, I get the frustration but we need to separate what actually happened here. JPMorgan paid because they're a financial institution that knowingly helped his operation - the bank made money off his accounts while ignoring obvious red flags. That's their culpability. As for the actual conspirators like Ghislaine Maxwell, she got 20 years. Others who've been identified are facing real consequences. What we DON'T have is a conspiracy where billionaires are walking completely free - we have slow prosecutions, some guilty pleas, some convictions, and yes, some people who likely got away with things due to wealth and connections. The 2008 Miami plea deal was a travesty under Acosta, absolutely. But the current situation isn't quite the blank check people imagine. That said, there ARE still unanswered questions about who else knew what, and that investigation deserves scrutiny.

Because JPMorgan has lawyers and money while actual conspirators either have immunity deals, dead (conveniently), or are rich enough to disappear. The bank pays a fine, calls it justice, and we all move on. Classic.

The flight logs show someone traveled with Epstein multiple times but 'didn't know what was happening.' Sure, Jan. Meanwhile a bank pays pocket change relative to what they made, and we're supposed to celebrate.

You're conflating civil liability with criminal prosecution. JPMorgan settled a lawsuit for allegedly failing due diligence on Epstein's accounts - that's a different legal animal than charging someone with trafficking or abuse. The real question is why federal prosecutors haven't indicted specific people, and that requires actual evidence presented in court, not theories. Some accused people have credible defenses. Some are dead. Some may not have sufficient evidence for conviction. The system is slow and broken, but that's different from a cover-up.
