What Vefy found

The answer first, then the evidence path behind it.

The useful Vefy version of this page is not “solve the entire Epstein universe.” It is to separate the parts of the record that are actually strong from the parts that are famous mostly because they are repeated. The custody-failure chapter is unusually concrete. The broader everything-and-everyone narrative is not.

This is not a conspiracy board. It is a public-record page built to separate a lenient old plea deal, a later federal prosecution, a death in custody, and the official custody-failure findings that followed.
