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.

I keep seeing this but no bates number or document references?
I have found documents about buying barrels but not the contents?
So looking around I found this.

What is a Bates number?
Right good question. The "EFTA numbers" are really called Bates numbers, you put them on each page in a document.
The first bates number is the filename and the number on the first page in a document then each page is numberd sequentially.

You can read about it here in the case of the Epstein files. https://www.justice.gov/opa/media/1426091/dl
EFTA stands for "Epstein Files Transparency Act"
Sometimes I feel the old blogger in me wanting to write and explain how the zip files are structured. Then I remember no one read my blog, and I deleted it in 2014...
