As someone that modded a few fairly large subs I can tell you that the admins were very frequently in contact with power mods because they treat the faggots like foot soldiers. They would insert them into mod teams to watch "problematic" subs.
Maxwell repeatedly violated TOS from what I remember and was never close to banned.
Considering how Epstein treated every association as a mark to be conned and blackmailed it's highly likely that Reddit's shift from somewhat neutral into far left insanity was their influence. I wonder how many people are trafficked through reddit as well.
PS don't forget that they hired a self professed pedophile
Maxwell definitely had the more concrete Mossad, CIA, and European intelligence connections. The thought of Epstein just being the hype man and Maxwell being the one primarily doing the blackmail definitely crossed my mind.
