Please include EFTA ID #s when you post screenshots of Epstein documents. EFTA stands for Epstein File Transparency Act. Each file in has an ID #. Why people are sharing the files without the ID # makes no sense.

seriously. there are fakes floating around, so screenshots of alleged docs without a link are indeed dubious. If you want to verify something though, the documents on the DOJ website are currently searchable: https://www.justice.gov/epstein/search (but of course some have also been deleted after being published...)

In this case, the close coinciding of epstein's first meeting with moot and the creation of /pol/ is in fact substantiated (click for links)

edit: searching for 4chan.org shows that Epstein later became a user of it himself; he's emailing links to threads there to Karyna Shuliak and others. It also has 4chan's response to the FBI's subpoena for the IP address(es) responsible for four posts which were made immediately prior to his death being reported publicly.

click for death-was-faked conspiracy fodder 🍿

One of those four posts has been widely reported about:

don't ask me how I know, but Epstein died an hour ago from hanging, cardiac arrest. Screencap this

... while another suggesting his death was faked has been seen mostly only on places like /r/conspiracy - so it seemed likely to have been fabricated after the fact:

Not saying anything after this pls do not try to dox me but last night after 0415 count they took him medical in a wheelchair front cuffed but not 1 triage nurse says they spoke to him. Next thing we know a trip van shows up? We do not do releases on the weekends unless a judge orders it. Next thing we know, he's put in a single man cell and hangs himself? Heres the thing, the trip van did NOT sign in and we did not record the plate number and a guy in a green dress military outfit was in the back of the van according to the tower guy who let him thru the gate. You guys i am shaking right now but i think they switched him out.

4chan's recently-released subpoena response (linked above) includes the text of that post (and not the others, because only that one was deleted apparently?) and confirms that it was made at 8:44 EDT, 10min before the news was public elsewhere. (But 30min after the other 4chan thread saying he hung himself, so, probably just a fiction-writing 4chan user working off of that... but still subpoena-worthy to someone at the FBI.)
