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.

Epstein emailing himself list of contacts, in 2016 (media.piefed.world)

The contacts are a mix of academic and scientific, political and public, legal and business associates.

At this point in time (autumn 2016) there were civil lawsuits against JE by "Jane Doe" (Katie Johnson) which ended up being dismissed in November 2016. The lawsuit also implicated Trump.

Email also contains what sounds like some kind of notes about his health, or some notes about what he did that week. I can't figure it out.

LSJ, little st John, also mentioned in there, seemingly.

The guy really didn't care about legibility and typos when writing anything, JFC.

"dick prostatis". Did he have prostatitis?
"smell menatlal fit" - small mental fit?

What's the point in mailing something like this to yourself? Journal notes of some kind? Something he had to do in the week coming up?

what did fucko type this with, his fucking knees? dude was fuckin borderline illiterate, I've seen output from dyslexic folks and it ain't nothing like this

[–] ooszyj@piefed.world 1 points 15 hours ago* (last edited 15 hours ago)

It seems like writing these messages were never his primary focus when he was actually typing them. It's impressive, just didn't care I guess, someone else's problem.

[–] ooszyj@piefed.world 4 points 20 hours ago

He seems to have done this a number of times. There's also one for Bannon, from June 30th, 2019, a week before he was arrested:

Some of these sound like medications or diseases. Lipid Crestor? Dick Prostasis?

[–] Tollana1234567@lemmy.today 1 points 1 day ago

the first one would be lipitor i believe, and dick prostitis, could be finasteride? or some other medication.

"bradk" could be Bard Karp, a lawyer. He resigned because of his exposure in the files:

There might be something interesting comparing the first and second paragraph of names and also the last. As one of the reason you put a break between a list of things that seem to be of the same category is that they are of a different subcategory. (E.g. these are people I have to do X with, these are people I have to do Y with). Of course it could also be an irrelevant distinction -- maybe he took a break, or couldn't think of any other names, and made a new line when he returned, etc.

I wouldn't hold my breath, these people can't seem to ger a consistent amount of spaces in between words or the letters in a correct order either

[–] lurch@sh.itjust.works 1 points 16 hours ago

some seem to be from OCR. like someone took a photo or screencap, then converted it to text.

Benoit Mandelbrot? No 😢

Edit: also Gould is likely Steven Jay Gould, evolutionary biologist. Guess what we've been hearing about him collecting elite scientists is true. Or maybe this was a wish list?

[–] voyager775@lemmy.world 2 points 1 day ago (1 children)

Are there links to documents on this?

[–] Asidonhopo@lemmy.world 4 points 1 day ago (1 children)

I'm only speculating, no proof at all but believable interpretations of the names listed in my opinion. I'd never heard anything bad spoken about either man in the past, who are both very prominent in their fields, but I've also never sought out information on eithers' personal life.

Any google search will provide evidence Epstein sought out or otherwise attracted prominent scientists and intellectuals like Stephen Hawking, Steven Pinker and Noam Chomsky.

[–] voyager775@lemmy.world 2 points 21 hours ago

Ahhh ok, I get you now. I think I misunderstood and thought there were specific documents in the files mentioning it. Honestly there could be something in the files since they haven’t all been released yet.

Shcumer. So Chuck Schumer? I can see that

[–] fossilesque@mander.xyz 4 points 1 day ago

It's always the people you most expect.

[–] Protoknuckles@lemmy.world 2 points 1 day ago (2 children)

Is one of those supposed to be a codename for Trump, or was he not involved in this email?

[–] ooszyj@feddit.dk 5 points 1 day ago

He's not involved in that email as far as I can tell.

[–] ChicoSuave@lemmy.world 3 points 1 day ago

There are a few names missing so this is likely new names to be added or a list of people he tried to contact as potential prospects. The lack of context is important.
