If this does succeed in persuading a judge to dismiss Giuffre’s current suit, then once again someone else’s money will have insulated Andrew from alleged self-created realities. In this case, it would be the $500,000 of a dead sex trafficker. What follows can only be speculation, with the duke’s case not due to be heard till later in the year. Even Ghislaine Maxwell has elicited more sympathy in some quarters than the actual victims of Epstein. What a thoughtful legacy to his bros. And how remarkable that Prince Andrew should regard seizing it as his best defensive shot.
