The fact that the cunts named the company after the evil ball from LoTR that let's the evil overlord see everything should have been a subtle clue to how shady these cunts are.

There's a gag that gets thrown around a lot at the moment, regarding big tech companies and the pursuit of evil.
Sci-Fi Author: In my book I invented the Torment Nexus as a cautionary tale.

Tech Company: At long last, we have created the Torment Nexus from classic sci-fi novel Don't Create The Torment Nexus.
These companies seem to have absolutely no sense of irony, or they simply think that being evil sounds fun and exciting. I swear half of big tech founders are some sort of edge-lord at the end of the day.

The glaring flag in these psycho-pathetic people is the lack of any altruistic marker in anything they do. They are ghouls at their core, which makes me incredulous that any agency can give them trust.

Everything here is a total car crash.
The former Duchess of York - who has faced her own Epstein controversies - is seen praising the late convicted sex offender as the "brother I have always wished for".
Her daughters are also dragged into the scandal, including with one extraordinary exchange where an unnamed person mentions Eugenie's "shagging weekend" in an email to Epstein.
In 2009, after the crash of a business venture, Ferguson appears to write to Epstein: "I urgently need 20,000 pounds ($27,521) for rent today.

"The landlord has threatened to go to the newspapers if I don't pay. Any brainwaves?"

...

Elsewhere, there are lawyers' letters about deals to pay off her creditors and an email from Epstein claiming to have helped her financially for 15 years.

What's the worse that can happen to him? Will he actually serve a significant prison sentence?

I was hoping for a televised police chase ala OJ Simpson.

Close ups of Andrew in a wife beater being cuffed.

Depends what they charge him with, I guess. Misconduct in public office doesn't sound all that juicy, but if the misconduct they charge him with is abusing underage girls then prison has to be on the cards.

I've seen the (completely believable) theory that Andrew was doing this as Epstein had a huge amount of dirt on him. I forget who they were talking about (may have been Trump), but I've definitely read at least one Epstein email where they've made it perfectly obvious that they're doing a lot of this stuff for blackmail purposes.

If that turns out to be the case, it's possible it'll dredge up all of the paedophilia too as the reasoning for the misconduct in office may need to be investigated.
