Epstein didn't keep a low profile. He was everywhere, taking pictures and glad-handing other plutocrats and showing up at events.
Like, if anyone is on your short list, I would think it would be Elon Musk. Musk's initial gambit was throwing a bunch of keggers at Stanford to make friends with the prior generation's Silicon Valley failkids. That's how he met Thiel and got into Paypal, made his first billion, and became an ahem Angel Investor for all sorts of glamour projects.
When Epstein was arrested everyone photographed with him had to explain themselves. Anyone associating with a sex trafficker nowadays would not want to be seen in public with them. As for Elon Musk, firstly he is definitely not smart enough to run a sex trafficking ring, and secondly he has a plausible (if improbable) path to his wealth.
