More True and More False
An honest accounting of the documented record — between facts too terrible to credit and conspiracies too easy to dismiss.

I want to tell you something I am not proud of.
When the first Epstein stories broke—when the Miami Herald published Julie K. Brown's investigation in 2018, when Epstein was arrested again in 2019, when Ghislaine Maxwell was convicted in 2021—part of me remained skeptical. Not about whether sexual abuse had occurred. I believed the survivors completely. But the scale of the conspiracy—the network, the island, the client lists, the politicians, the royalty, the scientists, the billionaires—felt almost too large to be real.
I was wrong to feel that way. And I think a lot of people who consider themselves thoughtful, skeptical, evidence-based thinkers felt the same way.

The documented facts are more extraordinary than most conspiracy theories — and the theories that attach to the case are more distorting than the facts require.
