Top of the pyramid

Very difficult document to watch. I was furious the whole time. I only vaguely heard of Epstein after his "suicide" in his cell and didn't pay too much attention to this guy. I'm glad that they didn't really focus into how he came to his wealth because focusing too much on that would be basically glorifying Epstein.

Also, I'm curious if any of the "recruiters" got charged. It can be easy to sympathize with them and not think much about their actions because they are victims, but in the end, they did solicit prostitution. I'm not sure if being a victim yourself and being financially unstable is enough of an excuse to commit such acts. I am more surprised that no one really came forward in this big of a pyramid scheme for years. I am not going to pretend to understand what the thought processes of the victims were, but I find recruitment a little scummy.

Other than that, great documentary with solid pacing and narrative.

That last girl

One of the last women bothered me, she knew how Epstein made her feel and how he denigrated her yet she went and got some of her girlfriends to go there to suffer the same trauma. She knew it was wrong and didn't care about those friends.

I did not know the half of it....

Of course we all know who Epstein was... but to hear first hand accounts was so eye opening to the insanity of possibly the most famous child predator of all time...

Recruiting For Prostitution - "Pyramid Scheme"
vivianla14 August 2020
Warning: Spoilers
This episodes features the survivors. A female artist was forced to cut in half her price to sell to Epstein and Ghislaine Maxwell. She does nude paintings of the female form and bases her work off of photographs of her two sisters.

This artist unknowingly connects her sister to an ill-intentioned man. The younger sister goes to his home where she is with Ghislaine. Ghislaine tells her to take off her clothes and the sister is told to flip so she lays on her back. Ghislaine touches her chest with inappropriate movements with Epstein being able to look in.

Epstein also took three nude photos of the sisters that the artist had. He could be using them to sexually pleasure himself.

We hear story after story of survivors experiencing similar experiences as Epstein's "masseuse". In one story a girl and other girls she recruited are told by the girl they all have to take off all of their clothes. They are fully nude and Epstein sexually assaults them. Epstein has had intercourse with underage females.

The episode ends off with authorities executing the search warrant. They go to Epstein's home where his employee is present and begin filming.

Very unsettling stories
jamesiha-8799328 May 2020
I'm not a fan of retelling these old stories of abuse and having the "victims", now called "survivors" ever since the R Kelly documentary, cry on camera to get viewers. They talk about people being afraid to tell on him because he had money to fight it. But then they mention there were other high profile people in his circle, but they don't name any names. If you don't report it right away, the abuse continues. Bravo Netflix, keep enabling them to hide.
