From the Wikipedia article about Soviet police chief Lavrentiy Beria. He was a character in the movie "Death of Stalin" as well: According to official testimony, in Soviet archives, of...two of Beria's bodyguards – on warm nights during the war Beria was often driven around Moscow in his limousine. He would point out young women to be taken to his mansion, where wine and a feast awaited them. After dining, Beria would take the women into his soundproofed office and rape them. Beria's bodyguards reported that their duties included handing each victim a flower bouquet as she left the house. Accepting it implied that the sex had been consensual; refusal would mean arrest...Women also submitted to Beria's sexual advances in exchange for the promise of freedom for imprisoned relatives." In the 1990s the skeletal remains of young women were found buried in the garden at Beria's Moscow villa.

Beria was eventually executed by the Soviets for treason, even though everyone including Stalin and the Politburo knew he had raped hundreds of women over a period of thirty years. My point is that Beria's depredations didn't involve money in any way, just political power since the USSR was a communist country. Look what happened in the Catholic Church with sexual abuse. No money, just power. If someone is getting away with something as bad as what Epstein was doing for a long time, it isn't just about the money.
