You realize every aspect of your reasoning for "Not Mossad" except the Pollard affair also applies to any other foreign intelligence service? Operating independently doesn't explain how he got his initial connections to Wexner, Barr, or Maxwell; let alone his money. And as it happens, at least 2 of the people on that list are Israel-adjacent. Seems like simple deduction to me. If he's foreign it's Mossad, if he's not foreign then hoo boy.

He reportedly met Wexner via his association with Bear Stearns. He can't be blackmailing Wexner AND be a Mossad agent simultaneously. Why? Because Wexner is among the most prolific donors to Israel/Jewish causes and here again, the risk to Israel of eating its own is simply too great. Its not the simple or logical explanation. Proximity != relationship.

No one said he was blackmailing Wexner.

Have a look at the financial relationship between the two and tell me if it doesn't look like blackmail. Wexner gave Epstein assets & control over assets beyond reason. General thinking is blackmail or something else very odd.
