    Powerful People, Weak Consequences (ft. Epstein)

    This week, Mak + Case break down the Epstein files — what we actually know, what we don’t, and why this case continues to expose uncomfortable truths about power and accountability. We’re zooming out from the scandal to the system, asking what it says about justice, how women are treated, and why consequences often shrink as influence grows.
