This weekend, while Andrew Mountbatten-Windsor faces an investigation in the UK, the American Epstein connections seem to be handled very differently following the latest file drop.
While the “Invisible Man” became the most visible suspect in the world, a wave of resignations took place in the USA. In fact, you might think that for wealthy elites, “accountability” looks much like early retirement. Read on for more details.
Things Stared Happening Stateside
Since our last article about former Prince Andrew and his “invisible man” emails, things started happening stateside as well. Notably, the pressure from the massive Epstein file drop brought some corporate casualties.
For example, Thomas Pritzker, the billionaire chairman of Hyatt Hotels, officially stepped down. Probably, that’s because the files revealed emails with Jeffrey Epstein and Ghislaine Maxwell that continued long after his 2008 conviction.

One of them seemed notably cringeworthy and apparently, Pritzker joked in a reply, saying “May the Force be with you.” That came after he heard that Epstein looked for a “new girlfriend.”
But, it should be noted that Pritzker resigned to “protect the brand,” not because he’s in cuffs in a police station. In the USA, it seems that fallout comes because of business and professional reasons. Meanwhile, with Andrew Mountbatten-Windsor in the UK, the focus became more of a criminal nature.
Other Moves & Distractions
Meanwhile, back in the US, Hollywood powerbroker Casey Wasserman put up his agency for sale. Remember, he’s the guy who worked on bringing the Olympics to LA in 2028.

Following some rather flirty emails with Ghislaine Maxwell, Wasserman felt terrible about the victims, so he claimed. And, alledgly he told his employees that his story became a “distraction.” Oh dear! How distracting!
Sarcasm aside though, high-profile clients like Chappell Roan already bailed off the ship. Because folks like Thomas Pritzker and Wasserman face no charges, it seems like a bit of a paradox.
Meanile, AP reported that last week”
Kathy Ruemmler, the top lawyer at storied investment bank Goldman Sachs and former White House counsel to President Barack Obama, announced her resignation after emails between her and Jeffrey Epstein showed a close relationship where she described him as an “older brother” and downplayed his sex crimes.
The Comparisons
Recently in London, former Prince Andrew was arrested for “Misconduct in Public Office” over trade emails. Meanwhile, in Los Angeles and New York, billionaires simply step aside and go off, presumably, to spend more time with their fortunes.
Why doesn’t the US speed things up, like they did in the UK with Andrew Mountbatten-Windsor? In fact, they got some heat from the UN who slammed them for “institutional gaslighting” the victims.
Court Battles & Data Management
While the UK police still look for more evidence of wrongdoing at Royal Lodge and Sandringham, the USA’s DOJ faces a lot of criticism. Folks ask questions like why they “accidentally” released the names of 43 survivors without redactions. Talk about distraction!
Some critics argue that America focuses more on managing the data than on making arrests. Naturally, people might question why the brother of King Charles seems the only one facing the full fallout of Epstein connections.
Is it because he’s alone and without a corporate board to shield him? After all, KIng Charles made sure Andrew had zero protection by the time he landed up in cuffs.
Clever Move By The UK
The “Misconduct in Public Office” charge against Andrew seemed like a very clever move. Simplifying it, sometimes in true crime cases, a person might end up arrested on a small charge, while behind the scenes bigger things undergo investigation.
In the case of Andrew, instead of going for alleged engagement in trafficking offenses, they used the betrayal of his taxpayer-funded role as a starting place for their takedown.
However, stateside, folks like Les Wexner, Casey Wasserman, and Thomas Pritzker who might have other skeletons behind their closet doors didn’t get read their rights by a bunch of cops.
Perhaps it can be argued that they held massive influence over public and private institutions. Perhaps that’s why they get “closed-door depositions” or just resign.
A Few Redaction Results
The “Invisible Man” isn’t invisible anymore. However, he might be lonely. As Andrew Mountbatten-Windsor waits to see which way authorities will jump in the next few days, the American elite sell their firms or step down for being a distraction to their employees.
While redactions do crack open some light, the only person falling through the cracks thus far, seems to be the former Duke of York.
