As long as Epstein didn't gain materially in the exchange, who cares where the money came from?

Does Epstein seem like a guy who did a lot of things just to make the world better?

Of course he gained in the exchange. He was an astute buyer of prestige, of legitimacy. Look at the scientists who went to bat for him after he had already been indicted, even convicted.
