Still cannot believe Epstein had a jet called the Lolita Express - how the fuck is that not a warning sign?

That's the kind of name I expect from an edgy gamertag; the kind of angerbaiting nonsense I'd expect from an asshole who is just playing along.

People knew. Lots of people knew. And they were complacent - and yet we have nothing.

Not trying to defend him or anything, just inject a little common sense. No of course it wasn't actually named Lolita Express! Jeffrey Epstein wasn't an idiot. Lolita Express is just a nickname that caught on in the press, supposedly first used by suspicious locals near his island but I can't confirm that. I don't think airplanes even have official names in the same way ships do. But it didn't have that or any other name painted on it. (And yes, that's the plane, a few stories do mention the tail number, N908JE.)
