History

Historical Context

Ghislaine Maxwell, arrested in July 2020 for sex trafficking related to Jeffrey Epstein, was convicted in December 2021 on multiple charges, including sex trafficking of a minor. Her preferential treatment in prison in 2021 drew parallels to the 2008 financial crisis, when the U.S. government allocated $700 billion to bail out banks, highlighting ongoing issues of accountability in both financial and judicial systems.
