Why are there millions of docments about Epstein's criminal activity?

[milestogo]

Were they taking pictures of all the girls? Keeping files on all the perpetrators? Documenting every sexual act? Keeping track of the data on girls that were trafficked?

Who created the documents and why?

1. Kompromat. The more, the better.

[CrispyQ]

2. I wondered that too, & figured something as simple as a receipt must count as a document. ??? -nt

3. I am pretty sure they paid the girls in cash.

No checks, no names, no records. Easy to deny.

But how could receipts be connected to the crimes?

5. Sex trafficking is not the only crime to be investigated.

There's probably money laundering, tax evasion and blackmail, and there has to be a paper trail to establish those crimes. They paid the girls in cash, but the cash had to come from somewhere, and considering the amounts involved there will be paper trails through shell corporations and dodgy real estate deals. Epstein had and handled a lot of money, the sources of which are still not clear.

8. Good point.

I think Senator Wyden is looking into this.

14. Epstein was definitely guilty of money laundering.

4. "Documents" likely means anything in the files, including emails, photos, notes, etc.,

going back to the late '90s, which could easily amount to a million different items.

6. transcripts of phone calls, airplane, passport, visas, communications with other police agencies

airplane supplies, doctor visits (STD's, abortions), hush money, lawyers, NDA (non disclosure agreements), land.

7. Could go back as far as the 1980's,

when people first became aware of him.

9. There's 20+ years worth of court cases and legal documents related to them

That alone is easily in the hundreds of thousands of pages - possibly more. Then there are the documents related to FBI and other Law Enforcement investigations. Interviews with witnesses, tips to law enforcement, any kind of documentation, etc.

Add in when he was arrested, they pretty much took possession of most everything he owned. The Files include likely every piece of paper he had at any one of his properties, every picture, every video tape, every computer and hard drive, etc.. Epstein was known to have kept hundreds of thousands of pictures. And someone like Epstein probably had hundreds of thousands of emails. Plus investigators after the arrest would have would have taken additional pictures of all his properties and contents - these were large properties so that alone is thousands and thousands of pictures.

Not to mention all the financial records.

I'm sure I'm missing a bunch of other things tthat would be included in the files. It shouldn't be hard to understand. I'd be surprised if it wasn't multiple millions of documents/files/pages/etc. Ben Meiselas believes there are likely 10 million records. This is a slightly long video, but Meiselas does a great job of explaining what is included in the files.

10. Crimes aside, he had a "front" shmoozing and organizing lavish parties for bigwigs

His public persona involved being a focal point for politicians, celebrities, and rich people to mingle lavishly and privately.

There would be a ton of documents related to that activity, even if none of it were criminal in and of itself.

Of course, those parties served as a front for some of his weak, immoral, entitled, and stupid partiers to find a seemingly discreet opportunity to rape underage kids, only to find themselves, unsurprisingly, blackmailed for it. There would probably be less direct documentation about that, though at this point, quite a number of depositions and such.

11. Why is there only 10 "co-conspirators"?

Do we really believe that?

[H2O Man]

12. No.

No thinking person believes that.

[Wiz Imp]

13. There are not only 10 co-conspirators.

Those 10 refer to a specific email or report from the FBI in 2019 that they had identified 10 co-conspiators that they believed they had the evidence to charge along with Epstein. It doesn't remotely mean there were only 10 people involved, it means they were ready to charge those 10 people. There's clearly dozens and probably hundreds of additional co-conspirators.

15. He did. Virginia Giuffre said there were cameras in

every room of every house. And a roomful of video material disappeared just before the NYC house was raided by the FBI. Conveniently.
