Tin Foil Hogs: Epstein on Netflix/Ghislaine in Jail (ft. Barto @elbartoarmy)

This week the hogs have Barto (@elbartoarmy) on to discuss Jeffrey Epstein: Filthy Rich, Netflix’s account of Jeffrey Epstein and Ghislaine Maxwell’s international criminal enterprise. The documentary benefits from in-depth interviews with survivors including Sarah Ransome, Virginia Giuffre, and Maria Farmer, as well as an illuminating, albeit brief look at the latter’s artistic depiction of her ordeal. But it suffers from some glaring omissions and collaboration with author and Clinton associate James Patterson as well as Sam’s nemesis Alan Dershowitz. We unpacked what the series had to offer and mused about the damage conspiratorial thinking can do to mass movements.
