Professor Gerdes Explains 🇺🇦

This video explains Jeffrey Epstein as a power broker, not merely a predator—someone who used sexual exploitation as currency to accumulate leverage, protection, and access. We walk through how asymmetry of information, obsessive documentation, institutional risk-aversion, and elite self-preservation created a system where exposure cost more than complicity. The result wasn’t fear-driven control, but voluntary silence—the most effective enforcement mechanism of all.

Why did banks look away? Why did prosecutors narrow charges? Why did institutions hesitate when red flags were obvious? Because once compromise spread, accountability became existentially expensive. Epstein wasn’t the network—he was a node inside a system optimized to survive scrutiny.
