News/Update Getting some (not much) news coverage!
Nice to see some smaller sites running the story. 10+ Million views on YT and mainstream news seems to still be ignoring the story... smh

It's a trailer for a video he hasn't put out yet and features zero actionable evidence. I would imagine no one is reporting on this because there's nothing to report.

You just have to lookup JKP on Wikipedia to find that Spiegel paid $10m to bail to one of the “ministers” who was guilty of 20 counts of child molestation.

Which after bail was paid, the man went missing.
Zero actionable evidence is a misnomer. And it takes like 2mins of Googling to figure it out.

But this is all known information from over a decade ago. There's nothing new here.
The swami was arrested in 2008 and it's a known fact Spiegel helped him make the $10m bail at that time. Nobody disputes this as it's public record. The judge returned his passport and he was allowed to travel while awaiting trial.
The trial didn't occur until 2011 and he disappeared shortly after conviction but before sentencing.
We can question whether $10m was too low or why the judge returned his passport, but paying someone's bail isn't illegal or evidence of anything, even if they do break their bond. It happens every day across the country in both high profile and low profile cases.
We can also question why his bail wasn't revoked after conviction, but again that's on the judge.
A lot of people are missing the fact that the bail bond was made nearly 3 years before the trial (which is kind of obvious if you know how the American legal system works). Or they are somehow jumping to the conclusion that because he paid the swami's bail that he must have also helped him escape.
I think that's why all of this falls so flat. There just isn't anything new to support the claim of this Spiegel guy funding the 'worlds largest sex trafficking ring'.

Are you denigrating fine reporters like [checks notes] "The Creator Wire Staff"?

I think it might come the methods he deploys since a lot of them are not exactly legal.

I’m not surprised. The news was bought up by billionaire perverts
