One thing I found curious about this story is its patent unwillingness to examine what this “fraudster’s” motivations might have actually been. The overall bent of its narrative seems to be to discredit the motivation of Epstein’s victims and their lawyers, without any consideration that this could’ve been the express purpose of the ruse.
Overall, the New York Times coverage has been quite poor and conciliatory toward those involved with Epstein, especially Gates and Wexner.
