    JK Rowling has an extremely murky supply chain. By choice.

    A good example I heard a while back: Rana Plaza collapse in Bangladesh was one of the worst industrial accidents ever. Death toll in the thousands. One of the companies involved was Primark, which makes the official Harry Potter apparel. Was HP apparel actually made in this particular death trap? We don’t know. JK won’t discuss it. But you know what she says, she just takes one look at her bank statement and all of the worries go away. We know that much.

    Epstein invitation thing was just more of the same. Was JK personally involved? We don’t know. Did JK care? Evidently not.

      That’s a good analysis. I’m not trying to defend her here, just saying that framing it as she did it herself is a sloppy reading of the evidence.
