I really hope the cracks in this case keep opening.

The Department of Justice recently urged a judge to deny a request to release the identities of two individuals that notorious sex trafficker Jeffrey Epstein sent large payments to as he was being prosecuted.

According to NBC News, Epstein sent large payments of $100,000 and $250,000 to two unidentified associates back in 2018.

This payoff came on the heels of alleged victims making statements to the Miami Herald in which they publicly criticized a plea deal the disgraced financier had made with federal prosecutors in his Florida sex offense trial.

Or damaging, they release all files, videos, recordings, and images.

Only sunlight can solve this problem for the magapubs.

"large payments of $100,000 and $250,000 to two unidentified associates "
after the absurd plea deal?

How is Epstein sending that money a "hoax"?

Under the circumstances, it is not unreasonable to seek answers
