On the same day that the FBI opened a child sex trafficking case against Epstein in 2018

On the same day that the FBI opened a child sex trafficking case against Epstein in 2018, he ordered half a dozen 55-gallon containers full of sulfuric acid to his private island.

Was he tipped off to an investigation?

even given the pool and large number of residents on the island.

OTOH, contrary to TV shows, it will not completely dissolve a human body either. That said, the residue and any dental work that survived could easily be dumped in the ocean far from the island. Of course, so could the intact bodies, and without the dangers and mess associated with using acid.

Same for all manner of audiotapes, film, slides and sundry recording media.

would be overkill for all the possible tapes and even DVDs that might have existed.

Anyone know about water and amounts of acid needed for treatment. He would have been ordering on a regular basis for this use.
