You could say that Jeffrey Epstein short-changed himself by not reading up on his favourite pastime of prostitution.
He could have saved himself a lot of trouble had he known that while prostitution is illegal in every US state, it is legal in parts of Nevada, a state which justifies its brothels as continuity with their roots in 19th Century mining towns and as an example of ‘economic diversification’ – an unusual application of DEI.
Or he might have tried buying young women in Canada where, in the usual way of Canadian half measures, selling sex isn’t illegal though buying it usually is.
