Jeffery Epstein deliberately photographed, audio-recorded and videotaped all his wealthy "friends" & associates in the most embarrassing and compromising situations. This was in order to have a hold, or control, over them. ( For future punishment, or blackmail purposes?) These people were unlikely to report Jeffery to the authorities once they realised exactly what he was doing, (his criminal behaviour), because Jeffery had "compromat" (compromising material) on them all!!
Once his "friends" realised they had been horribly compromised, they feared him, and we notice they all chose to stay fiercely loyal to him, because it was in their best, long term interests!!!!!
