Who’s the best real-life example of “you either die a hero, or live long enough to see yourself become the villain,” and what happened?

Imagine being so annoying that even Epstein and his ilk get the ick.

How grating must one be that the worst person on earth at the time checked his email and was like "ack, it's him again, tell him we're busy or something."

Actually one thing you can say for him, when invited to the island he was like "I'm too important to fuck minors."

Edit: this is literally true. There's a transcript. Stop downvoting me.

Edit 2: Google it dumbass.

There are also transcripts of him begging to visit, and of Epstein telling others how he wasn't invited because he was too weird even for them.

So not exactly exonerating evidence.

yeah, because my recollection of that part, if it is the same part, is him being invited to hang out with 'interesting people' at a big conference and him saying he's too important to hang out with a bunch of diplomats, to which the reply is "not actually diplomats, dummy, wink wink"
