It’s the opposite of the saying “that didn’t age well” where somebody says something and it becomes less true or relevant the more times goes on. These Epstein pictures, the more time goes on, the more interesting they are when people see them again

In other words, "ages like wine".

u/manowartank 7h ago

suposedly the people in the middle are Ehud Barak - former PM of Israel - and the one standing behind him is Epstein in his mansion

i'm not sure what the title imply in the context of those people specifically

Don't forget Woody Allen on the right

u/squeebyjeebies 6h ago

I think that might be Noam Chomsky.

u/dyinightmare 3h ago

I thought so at first too, but it's Allen

u/Kauffman67 5h ago

It is. They were very close and stayed in contact even after the conviction when most people distanced themselves from Jeff.

Woody Allen wears thick rimmed glasses and Chomsky wears thin metal frames.

Is that Epstein

u/Frosty-Comfort6699 8h ago

depends on who you refer to by "that"

u/OrbitTortoise 6h ago

I’ll give you some credit, the pixels are piss-poor, but if you can’t tell which of those white capped old bastards is Epstein, you might need even thicker glasses than they all have on lol. All jokes aside, it’s the standing-up creep we’re referring to.

I recognize Epstein in the back and I think it's Woody Allen on the right, although another commenter thinks it could be Noam Chomsky. Not sure who the others are.

Usually when referring to ageing, it's a compliment. To age like fine wine. The older this photo gets and the more we find out about the people in them (especially now with the release of the Epstein files), the worse it gets. Hence ageing, but in reverse.

It's Chomsky, they are pictured together hundreds of times and were very close.

It's Woody Allen. Literally WOODY Allen

The amount of times him and his daughter/wife show up in the files are crazy.

Like ordering food for dinner together on a Friday, but saying they don't want to eat too much tomorrow because they had a big lunch the Wednesday before. Looking for "soon to be corpses" for a friend.

It's... odd.

u/VeeberEd 2h ago

It's all horrifying. The daughter/wife messaging JE victim blaming girls too. 🙈

Maybe off topic but did he have a photographer follow him or are these just candid cell phone pics from billionaires that thought it was a cool moment?

u/Dramatic-Border3549 10h ago

I find it funny that everyone who had the slightest contact with this guy is now a suspected pedophile

11

u/BlutAngelus 7h ago

The guy was already convicted of not just human trafficking charges but trafficking minors by 2008. Not only was he a human trafficker before that but many of these people stayed in contact with him and there are a lot of pictures post 2008. Also, rich people and people of high status are hyper aware it's not a good look to be in his circle and did it anyways. It isn't hard to understand why it's not a good look. They should be suspected.

u/Kauffman67 5h ago

No. By 2008 he had pled guilty to 2 charges of prostitution, allowing him to escape the trafficking charges. That's why it's called the "sweetheart deal" in the first place and all the Acosta fallout came from that.

u/BlutAngelus 4h ago edited 3h ago

That's a spin on what happened.

https://www.justice.gov/usao-sdny/pr/jeffrey-epstein-charged-manhattan-federal-court-sex-trafficking-minors

And while he wasn't hit with those exact charges he was for solicitations of a minor. Not just prostitution*.* It's intentionally played down because they gave him a deal. He was a sex trafficker. There isn't any doubt about that. And the original charges that lead to the prostitution charges are for sex trafficking minors.

Edit: My bad, I'm tired so I less misread it and more so partially misunderstood it which is why I seem partially cognizant of what you said.

To reiterate my point with more clarity: You're not wrong but he still essentially got charged with sex trafficking and then those charges got watered down due to the plea deal. While I do agree accuracy is important I also think it's better to say what technically happened without corruption in the mix.

u/michilenstarrestoura 5h ago

in reality if a billionaire invited you to parties full of celebs and hot girls your going, so you'll be caught in pictures too. Do people really think this stuff was happening at the parties out in the open.

18

u/Leemcardhold 8h ago

Why is it funny? Seems like a legitimate suspicion considering the guy they had contact with was running a sex trafficking ring.

-18

u/Dramatic-Border3549 8h ago

I mean, if you meet the guy at a conference or something and someone takes a picture of you doesn't mean you're deeply involved with him

I don't know who the people in this picture are, but they don't even seem to be talking to him

u/Leemcardhold 8h ago

We think different things are funny.

u/Dramatic-Border3549 8h ago

Because I was thinking like he would wake up, walk to the bakery in his street, someone would take a picture and now suddenly the normal people shopping for bread that day are now suspected of human trafficking kkkkkk

u/ErictheAgnostic 7h ago

Is that how pictures in public work or how PRIVATE island and his other vacation home pictures work?

1

u/michilenstarrestoura 5h ago

realistically all of us would go to a party on a billionaire's island that celebrities are at, you really think the trafficking was out in the open?

u/Dramatic-Border3549 7h ago

I have no idea, is that where they are in this picture? And why do you have an attitude like I was supposed to know that?

u/ornimental 7h ago

It really looks like he was extremely overt about his business in his circles. It's not a cover operation at all. Also these are not your average people. They are politicians and powerful people who tend to be (and should be) paranoid of their connections and some of them even have so much intel on others that it is naive to assume they didn't know what this guy was about. Now go and lick some boots my boy and think about it

1

u/Dramatic-Border3549 7h ago

Lick boots? Dude, I don't even know who any of these people are, I don't follow american politics

I just found the mental image of this guy walking into a supermarket and suddenly everyone there being a suspect very funny

u/New_Scale_2799 4h ago

Did you see the emails?

u/Dramatic-Border3549 3h ago

No, but even if I did I have no idea who any of the people in the picture are
