17. We really needed someone to go through and find what's relevant

But as you note what's relevant is different from person to person.

Casey Wasserman is basically having to give up his talent agency and being called on to step down from the Olympics in spite of his contact with Maxwell was years before she or Epstein got arrested. Was he supposed to know years before she was even accused of anything that she was a scumbag? If not, what justice is served by people shunning him?

Sure many if not all of the people who continued to personally associate with Epstein or Maxwell after his first arrest have at the very least good cause to question their morals, but does that mean anyone who attended a party where either of them were regardless of if they knew Epstein or Maxwell were invited? That sort of mob mentality isn't good in my opinion. My reason for setting the bar at criminal behavior is that's a bright societal line that we generally collectively agree is wrong.
