Welcome to the News community!
Rules:
1. Be civil
Attack the argument, not the person. No racism/sexism/bigotry. Good faith argumentation only. This includes accusing another user of being a bot or paid actor. Trolling is uncivil and is grounds for removal and/or a community ban. Do not respond to rule-breaking content; report it and move on.
2. All posts should contain a source (url) that is as reliable and unbiased as possible and must only contain one link.
Obvious biased sources will be removed at the mods’ discretion. Supporting links can be added in comments or posted separately but not to the post body. Sources may be checked for reliability using Wikipedia, MBFC, AdFontes, GroundNews, etc.
3. No bots, spam or self-promotion.
Only approved bots, which follow the guidelines for bots set by the instance, are allowed.
4. Post titles should be the same as the article used as source. Clickbait titles may be removed.
Posts which titles don’t match the source may be removed. If the site changed their headline, we may ask you to update the post title. Clickbait titles use hyperbolic language and do not accurately describe the article content. When necessary, post titles may be edited, clearly marked with [brackets], but may never be used to editorialize or comment on the content.
5. Only recent news is allowed.
Posts must be news from the most recent 30 days.
6. All posts must be news articles.
No opinion pieces, Listicles, editorials, videos, blogs, press releases, or celebrity gossip will be allowed. All posts will be judged on a case-by-case basis. Mods may use discretion to pre-approve videos or press releases from highly credible sources that provide unique, newsworthy content not available or possible in another format.
7. No duplicate posts.
If an article has already been posted, it will be removed. Different articles reporting on the same subject are permitted. If the post that matches your post is very old, we refer you to rule 5.
8. Misinformation is prohibited.
Misinformation / propaganda is strictly prohibited. Any comment or post containing or linking to misinformation will be removed. If you feel that your post has been removed in error, credible sources must be provided.
9. No link shorteners or news aggregators.
All posts must link to original article sources. You may include archival links in the post description. News aggregators such as Yahoo, Google, Hacker News, etc. should be avoided in favor of the original source link. Newswire services such as AP, Reuters, or AFP, are frequently republished and may be shared from other credible sources.
10. Don't copy entire article in your post body
For copyright reasons, you are not allowed to copy an entire article into your post body. This is an instance wide rule, that is strictly enforced in this community.

Why the heck is he always titled "financier", while he was just a kid-rapist. It's not your "job" that defines you goddammit.
Maybe "financier" is just a fancy word for "kid-rapist"?
It's because that was his day job. Somehow. It's what provided the means for his hobby of diddling kids.
https://en.m.wikipedia.org/wiki/Jeffrey_Epstein
He never finished his college degree, and after dropping out ended up teaching math at a private high school. He got fired for performance issues (and perhaps getting a bit too close to his students), but had made friends with one of the parents of a kid at the school, who happened to be an executive at Bear Stearns. He got a job trading options, and eventually spun that out into his own consultency, where he made more money than he (or anyone) really deserved to. He seems to be a chronic failure, but knew enough key people so that he could always fail upwards.
There are a lot of really weird coincidences from his early career, though: that High School was run by Bill Barr's dad, Donald. (yes, that Bill Barr, who was Trump's AG at the time Jeffrey Epstein "killed himself" in jail.) And Donald Barr actually wrote a trashy sci-fi novel in the early 70s in which sex trafficking of teenagers is a key plot point. Enough coincidences to keep conspiracy theorists going for decades.
Yeah sure, it was his job. But you are not defined by your job. And what he was, was a monstrous child-rapist. Hitler just wasn't "a painter" or "a soldier" either.
