This Tool Searches the Epstein Files For Your LinkedIn Contacts (www.404media.co)

A new tool searches your LinkedIn connections for people who are mentioned in the Epstein files, just in case you don’t, understandably, want anything to do with them on the already deranged social network.

404 Media tested the tool, called EpsteIn—as in, a mash up of Epstein and LinkedIn—and it appears to work.

“I found myself wondering whether anyone had mapped Epstein's network in the style of LinkedIn—how many people are 1st/2nd/3rd degree connections of Jeffrey Epstein?” Christopher Finke, the creator of the tool, told 404 Media in an email. “Smarter programmers than me have already built tools to visualize that, but I couldn't find anything that would show the overlap between my network and his.”

Slavov Zizek is named... In the How To Academy newsletter Epstein has subscribed to.

And yet I checked Slovenian media and they are writing that he "is in the files".

What a disgrace.

Yeah it’s clearly one thing to be a public persona and someone mentions your name in an email, and another thing altogether to be an Epstein correspondent. That line is being shamelessly blurred by some media
