He's been fucking weird today. He's always been critical of Trump and conservatives, so I don't know wtf he's on about. This feels like the MAGA joke that Neil Degrasse Tyson tried to make that didn't work.

The worst thing he's ever done is Maximum Overdrive and that's not gonna change.

Stephen King is not a pedophile. He's had a 50 year writing career, there'd be some rumor or something if he was a sex predator.

I'm pretty sure he's trying to say that if there was an Epstein client list, someone would have leaked it by now.

I would likewise doubt Stephen King has ever been in the same state as Jeffrey Epstein, discounting Epstein ever visiting Maine for some reason

This was kinda bugging me cause I like Stephen King.

Found this tweet from 2019:

https://gamefaqs.gamespot.com/a/forum/f/feb909ab.png

I don't think he would say that at the time period if he was on the list, tbh.

I agree that these jokes of his did not land at all. Like I get there might not be a physical piece of paper that says "The List" on it, but "the list" would be put together by investigators.

who were his fucking clients is the goddamn question the people are asking.

"The List" is financial transactions, flight logs, litigation files, etc. The problem is none of it necssarily indicates human trafficking.

And it's been 6 years since Epstein died. Maybe he changed his mind, or just made a bad joke

I mean, the whole thing that made Epstein such a big deal was that he dealt with everyone. Not necessarily everyone was involved with the whole "child sex trafficking" stuff, but it kept everyone culpable, and meant Epstein could sink literally everyone who was even remotely associated - so that nobody was able to bring the events to light.

Who knows how guilty King would be in this situation. But not at all surprised he might see himself getting into trouble for whatever his association was.

Stephen King never met Epstein. There's no photos of them together, they never lived in the same state, Epstein didn't hang out in Maine. King isn't like "hangs in billionaire country club" rich. He's "massive multi millionaire" rich, who got money based entirely on writing and movie deals. Epstein operated in circles way above that. He made all his connections at Bear Stearns. King isn't in that club

Matt Groening was in the Epstein flight logs. King is not too low a circle to get pulled into Epstein's pull. And supposedly Matt didn't do anything either, he was just on a flight with him. Easily could have looped Stephen King in a similar way.

King isn't in a big enough position to use his sway to make sure Epstein "killed himself", but could easily be caught in comprimising situations. Because Epstein dealt with everyone.

Yeah, but Groening is a major Fox executive and creative, who's the creator of a major TV phenomenon and works heavily in show biz. there's nothing indicating King ever flew on Epstein's plane or attended a party with him. It's just a different type of celebrity.

If there's evidence, I'm not aware of or if something else is released, definitely tag me tho

Why did so many powerful people continue to heavily associate with a known sex trafficker? Considering were supposed to believe hes just a random rich guy with no connections to anything and no discernible expertise. Also hes not even that rich.

Its not really a "Stephen King isn't that kind of guy" kind of thing, its more of a "Epstein worked with everyone" kind of thing. Allegedly with Matt Groening Matt just was on a flight with him and it was awkward. King could absolutely have overlap with like, just needing to take a flight, or have a meeting or something, and then boom, he's associated with Epstein. That was the whole thing behind Epstein.

Its not to say King is definitely on the list or anything, but it could explain his weird tweet.

Epstein worked at Bear Stearns and got a plum role with the firm's wealthiest clients. He started his own firm where he had a rep as a guy who recovered money. He had a lot of high profile clients who introduced him to people.

he also wasn't a known sex trafficker until like...2008

Hed still be a dime a dozen to the kind of people he was routinely around. World leaders and the richest people on Earth. Why continually be introduced and have them on your flights when youre just one of their many faceless money managers at best.

It was reasonably known a few years prior. Even then you have people like Bill Gates well after it was out still wanting to spend so much time with Epstein that it cost him his marriage.

He was a favorite of Alan Greenberg and promoted himself a lot. That, and he did a lot of philanthropy to the point he'd basically go up to famous people to give them easy PR opportunities.

He was a combination of well connected and lucky.

And yeah, keep in mind Bill Gates was spending time with him after he did 18 months in prison. That's scummy behavior

Thats what doesnt add up. If even Bill Gates is continuing to see him after everyone knows, that casts some doubt on much of the entire story. That it was all elbows and easy PR.

Who is he and what does he offer that is worth the worlds most powerful people tanking themselves like Gates did. Hes not the only person to do it.

Most people had no idea who Epstein was in 2011, so there's not much a PR issue. Maybe Gates is just like almost every other techbro in the world and he doesn't actually care much about sexual assault.

The answer is Epstein was a predator who had more resources than most. You still see people hang out with Russell Brand and Diddy and Tate. MeToo wasn't until 2017

Epstein donated to all the right causes and events, and held massive parties.

Most importantly, he built up an extensive network of highly influential friends. Even the wealthy and powerful want in on a social circle like that, and they'll turn a blind eye to terrible things for it if they have to.
