I think it was both. It's pretty clear Virginia Guffree's testimony was real and that Epstein and a whole shit load of people around him were pedos. It's also beyond a reasonable doubt that it was a blackmail ring, or some kind of sick initiation ritual.
But I also think it's being leveraged as a psyop. The Miami Herald broke the story nationally. That paper was bought by a bunch of jews two years earlier. It's now being used as a massive distraction from the replacement of White people globally. Nothing will ever come out to implicate powerful jews, and blue-jew team is now using it as a tool of distraction. So, it can be both.
Lurker, being a massive 2-more-weeks Qtard, probably thought of it as a binary. It's not.
