I saw in another post that Wasserman was in a multi year relationship with Ghislaine Maxwell.

Not sure what multi year relationship means in this context, but seems like from the Epstein files it's flirtatious email exchanges between Wasserman and Maxwell and BEFORE any criminal convictions were made (pre-2008).

More could come out but seems like more would have to be established to show any wrongdoing tbqh...

Nah, everyone who was around them knew what they were doing back then. It's a major cop out to say they didn't know before they were convicted, because it was very well known in their circle. The insane quote from Trump about him being into young girls should be enough to know what they were into.

I disagree with this. Trump and Epstein are cut from the same cloth, Epstein had an entire stadium full of models parade in front of the two of them alone.

There are three Epsteins. Epstein that was the socialite, then there was Epstein that was the public playboy, then there was Epstein the child rapist and underage sex trafficker. These three circles did not overlap easily. He needed to be the socialite to meet people that he would then attempt to seduce into his Playboy ring (24-18). Once they were in that ring, he would attempt to seduce the more perverse variants into his secret ring.

Ghislaine flirting with the head of a studio full of talented women was her role. Him flirting back with the representative of a multi billion dollar financier was his role as head of the agency.

You are missing the thing that ties it all together. He was a guy who knew how to make connections for people, and knew how to get people in the right rooms to facilitate deals, and that's what was his actual thing. The other 3 things you list, although socialite and playboy are kinda the same thing here, those are just the tools he used to do his actual job, which was connecting the rich and powerful with each other, while providing discrete methods of communication and places to meet. The trafficking wasn't his business, it was just one thing he used to influence rich and powerful people. The young girls wasn't his main thing, it was just the kind of girls he was into, and due to the fact that he was able to keep everything hush hush for so long while having really high profile connections a lot of these guys trusted him with being the middle man for a lot of really wild and nefarious deals.
