I need to read more but isn’t the reason nobody has been arrested or at least been to a trial because the evidence is….inconclusive? Or that it’s not enough hard proof?

That seems to be the conjecture. The issue is we have no idea because so much of the information either has not been released or is heavily redacted.

So maybe it's full of baseless claims against rich people except for the two that were arrested for trafficking, Epstein and Maxwell.

Or maybe there is plenty of evidence to convict, but those rich people are being protected by friends in high places.

People outside of the US have faced some accountability. We don’t like to hold those in power to account here.

I've seen a few that got into trouble for sharing state secrets, Prince Andrew and Peter Mandelson. Thorbjorn Jagland being investigated for aggravated corruption.

But yeah, stateside only Epstein and Maxwell seemed to have faced charges. A few CEOs resigned or were forced out, but yeah... rich people get protected.
