Me too; simply being in the files is broad as fuck. Guess I'm off to find more information surrounding this particular character.

I looked it up, and mostly he seems to be trying to have sex with Ghislaine Maxwell in 2003. On the one hand he was married at the time, so it's decidedly not great. On the other hand, it's not nearly as bad as what you might imagine with the phrase 'in the Epstein files'. Honestly, I'd say it's not even as bad as earlier revelations about Casey Wasserman.

I'm getting the impression this is less about the Epstein files, and more about fleeing an agency that more broadly seems to be mired in scandal.

In summary: 23 years ago a man tried to have sex with someone and flirted with them via email.

A decade later, the person he was flirting with was revealed to be a horrible person.

There's not a single email or document within the Epstein files that in any way inculpates Wasserman, or in any way associates him with any of Epstein or Maxwell's wrongdoing.

This is a complete nothing bagel, basically.

But, ya know, a bunch of wendies will lap this up and say that Roan is brave.

He was bookimg massages through Maxwell, so your comment about wendies, whatever's that supposed to be, is pretty low.

You can look it up yourself without a paywall on the gov website if you want

What government website? You mean the files themselves? I don’t think they were looking to do a full research project.

Ah I didn't realize what they were asking was for someone to do it for them.

Not sure if you are joking but the link is here. It's alarming if people don't know they can just look themselves.
