This NF mini-series is really a little TL;DR but is nonetheless interesting as a classic example how the uber-rich can use their power and influence to abuse vulnerable people with complete impunity.
By 2005 Epstein and (Ghislaine) Maxwell were essentially running an underage-sex ponzi scheme involving possibly hundreds of female marks, aided by some of Epstein's vulnerable victims. But assisted in no small part by Murrica's sleaziest and most repugnant lawyer, Alan Dershowitz Jerkowitz and Epstein's considerable wealth, Epstein was legally basically let of the hook.
Among Epstein's illustrious friends were counted: the Orange Moron, the Commander in Rape (Clinton), Prince Andrew and of course Jerkowitz. And in 2019, Epstein managed again to escape conviction this time without help from the latter, by fleeing into death (suicide).
There's also plenty of evidence that Epstein wasn't as filthy rich as generally believed and that he wasn't a billionaire. And much of his gains appear to have been ill-gotten... (what a guy!)
By the time of his death Epstein may have been worth 'no more' than a mere $100 - 200 Mln (considerable assets included), due to heavy losses incurred during the 2008 financial crash, out-of-court settlements with various victims and payments to some fellow prisoners (to avoid assault).
