Just a thought.
High impact leaks to WikiLeaks were intelligence operation with a clear political goal in mind.
The content of the "Epstein files" does not align with that goal, or with the planning of the governments behind the previous leaks.
Hence no leaks.
2. The hype around the files means they are secure/well guarded. Such kind of act is expected unlike lets say the Snowden files.
3. Retribution would be swift, even if you don't believe in Epstein killing himself.
4. The adversary list may involve a certain beloved foreign government. If Epstein was an intelligence asset as alleged. This increases the risk further for the leaker dying an unnatural death.
