Reasoning
Kornbluth's confidential communication explicitly discusses the need to socially isolate ('shun') Epstein and notes his criminal past, while acknowledging he has escaped social consequences. This reflects reputation management tied to substantive criminal conduct, a concealment indicator. The confidentiality framing and concern about Epstein's continued social access raise concern about efforts to normalize an offender's standing.
