The fact that U.S. authorities are actively covering up the crimes of what appear to be numerous and influential co-conspirators—by unlawfully redacting documents and withholding material they are required to release—is likely a factor. The fact that U.S. law enforcement agencies refuse to investigate this case for the same reason is another factor.
Consequently, there have been no new developments, since it is clear that the investigation has effectively been suspended, even though the case is obviously far from closed.
This in itself is, of course, a scandal that in any reasonably functioning country would inevitably lead to the government’s downfall.
But as many have already said, the media isn’t reporting on this because there is essentially no free press left in the U.S.
However, I simply cannot comprehend the fact that U.S. citizens have apparently resigned themselves to the fact that their system is so obviously corrupt that it not only fails to prevent the most serious crimes but actually enables them in the first place. To me, it is absolutely inexplicable that the current regime remains in office despite its obvious criminality and is not forced to resign through mass civil disobedience.
This regime and its network of oligarchs behind it are the reason why the most serious crimes, including those committed by Epstein’s accomplices, go unpunished.
In short: There is no longer any reporting on Epstein and his network because high-ranking members of the U.S. government are quite obviously involved themselves and are therefore doing everything in their power to suppress coverage. This, however, is only possible because U.S. citizens are not holding them accountable.
That’s frightening, but unfortunately it’s the reality.
It’s not just the US though. None of these people have been punished in any western country, none of them are in jail. The whole Epstein fiasco proves beyond all doubt that Marxists were right all along. We live in a class society, and the laws of this society are created by the ruling capitalist class which subjugates and exploits the working majority. Any democracy that exists is reserved for the ruling elites.
You’re right, of course, that the billionaires’ all-encompassing power—especially through digital media—makes public resistance very difficult, but I don’t think that such blatant corruption, as the U.S. regime practices it so shamelessly and, above all, so openly, would be tolerated in my home country (Germany). I mean, this is literally organized crime on a scale that’s almost beyond belief.
Corruption exists everywhere, but such blatant criminality in public office seems to me possible on this absurd scale only in the land of superlatives.
I can’t understand how this can be tolerated, especially since it has such negative consequences for the population.

Hungary. 16 years. It did end, but I still don’t understand how did it end. and there were no riots, just an election.
I can’t understand how this can be tolerated
that’s what you do when (you feel) you can’t organize.
but to be fair there are other things I can’t understand how can it be tolerated, yet people are cheering for it, as if they are tired to bear their agency and consequences.
