The massive secrecy in this case seems quite abnormal.

Massive secrecy around this is pretty much standard operation. The topic of government affiliated child trafficking while the perpetrators are still alive is a bit more abnormal.

But this is a classic case of limited hangout. The media will cover the bare minimum and in the end, nothing significant will come of this case.

I doubt she has ever been in actual custody.

She certainly has been.

Anything you got that would convince would be extra helpful!

I've not talked to my friend in a month or so but he is a federal agent with a minor role in her case. Scuttlebutt is she could wind up in a prison in Conn but she has been incarcerated in a less than a desirable lockup in Brooklyn. While his connection to the case is over he's also confided she is a shell of a woman who knows she's screwed up and her life is over. She went from a very wealthy and well connected lady to a convict which is hard for the rich and famous to handle. He has zero sympathy for her but he says she has definitely been in jail contrary to rumors from some.

Quite interesting, anecotal, but informative.

Not unusual in and of itself. Hopefully people don't go crazy with the "theories" popping up all over. Sentencing in federal courts is reduced quite often on appeals when the appeals judges look at all the evidence. I've been involved in some cases where this happened and at times I did agree with them. Just a fact of life in the federal court system.

Tell me, who did Gislane Maxwell get convicted of trafficking children to? Until the answer to that question is public knowledge, the trial was nothing but a coverup to protect those people.

The victims are the children. Not the adults. They (children) deserve anonymity.

Chadwick is talking about Epstein's clients

Chadwick did say "Ghislaine Maxwell get convicted of trafficking children to" which is not correct as the kids were the victims and not the men who likely were the benefactors of this trafficking. Maxwell had to answer for the kids she trafficked and of course they are juveniles.

They are not children any more. Exposing the adults does not require exposing the victims.
