Indicators
Reasoning
Krauss requests Epstein's approval and edits his statement to a journalist specifically to minimize language about victimization and consequences. This demonstrates active, coordinated concealment and reputation management directly with the defendant post-conviction. The insertion of 'no consequences' language is particularly notable as it attempts to reframe a serious conviction as a mutually harmful outcome rather than criminal exploitation.
