"The U.S. Intelligence Community is lenient about the private habits of high-value agents or informants, but they won’t countenance running sex trafficking rings for minors on American soil, for years. While it’s plausible that Epstein was sharing some information with the FBI—many criminals do so to buy themselves some insurance—it’s implausible that he was mainly working for the Americans."

OK. So what I'm getting is that he wasn't working "mainly" for the Americans and even if he was, they wouldn't countenance running sex trafficking rings for minors on American soil, for years.

Given that, it doesn't make sense for "someone" to tell him Epstein "'belonged to intelligence’ and to leave it alone”.
