Gordon Ryan is one of the best no-gi Jiu-Jitsu grapplers ever. Ryan’s accomplishments in no-gi Jiu-Jitsu remain second to none. Ryan has a penchant for trolling people on social media. His recent Instagram story has now confused people as to whether he was trolling or not. Ryan’s recent Instagram story was about Jeffrey Epstein, a financier and convicted fel*n who died in 2019 while in jail.

Given the serious nature of Epstein’s felony, many criticized Ryan’s statement on his Instagram story. Nonetheless, this is what Ryan shared on his Instagram about the list.

Has no one said this yet? Just because you fly to an extravagant island owned by a billionaire who used to traffic kids doesn't automatically make you a pedophile or know about his operations. Were some/many of those people in on it? Maybe. But you can't just assume every single person who was friends with him trafficked kids. Maybe they were just his friend and wanted a nice getaway spot. I haven't seen anyone mention this.
