We keep track of the release of the files, but also to explore what’s already available, and why – with enough exposure – this could bring the man down, and who knows even his regime or the empire.

Was he drugging his victims: ✅️
Was he DIYing his own drugs to do it with: ❌️

It's a prescription medication and pretty easily available on the recreational market, no way was he spending the time to brew up artisinal batches of his date rape drugs instead of just buying them alongside all the other drugs we know he was using. They're just pretty flowers.

These fake stories are disingenuous or actually an attempt to reduce credibility of actual events. Similar to the sulphuric acid or beef jerky stories.

I imagine it was more of "this drug enables me to do so much, and it comes from these pretty flowers!" that he mentioned/showed to all his fucked up pedo acquaintances and friends.

If there's evidence that he used it I wouldn't be shocked, but the credible evidence indicates he preferred his drugs refined. He doesn't seem to have grown a poison garden, which is what I'd expect from someone with complete pharmaceutical access that is just into using natural poisons like datura on victims. He's far more likely to give a modern date rape drug mixed with alcohol, cocaine, or even food or water based on what we know, and for the datura to simply be a beautiful flower that he did brag about its effects, but didn't use.

Could also have the victims pick/smell it before slipping them something.

[–] Warl0k3@lemmy.world 12 points 1 day ago (1 children)

There any evidence for him doing that or are we just speculating on fucked up things he could have done - because there's more than enough hard evidence of the fucked up shit he actually did, we don't need to fantasize about how much worse it could have been.

This case is just pure speculation based on the plant and crime show plots.

It just read to me like some of the borderline horny stuff the truecrime fandom comes up with (the ones writing the Epstein fanfic, yea it's a thing), which I know wasn't your intent.

He was off the scales horrible by any metric you choose to use, and fantasizing about how he could have done some hollywood serial killer power move shit just doesn't need to happen here. We've got video of him getting a neck massage while underage girls dance naked in his tacky office next to a stack of paternity tests, like... Isn't that bad enough?
