    In https://lemmy.world/c/Epsteinfiles from 17 days ago:

    https://lemmy.world/post/42921222?scrollToComments=true

    There were two IP’s associated with these comments.

    107.77.223.177

    and

    172.58.139.162

    One IP was responsible for all of the comments regarding medical information (which can be confirmed in part by the autopsy, also available unredacted (mostly) in the files(.

    I tried to follow up on the FBI effort to get the cell data for both of these. As far as I can tell, the rPtND1Si post resolved to a new jersey IP (this is the AT&T customer), and the second resolved to a sprint customer (swam8WIF). If you look up the second IP, it resolved to the Chicago area (the sprint customer). The sprint response to the FBI record request stated that their system used “dynamic IP”. Its not clear to me the FBI followed up on the sprint customer any further. My read was they couldnt get a location from that IP because of sprints internal system.

    See here: https://www.justice.gov/epstein/files/DataSet 9/EFTA00133349.pdf for the original data.

    On one hand I’m happy this fuck is dead, and I hope he did suffer.

    On the other hand, we all know he did not commit suicide and got killed by the Pedoresident following the playbook of his BFF putin to try to save his fat orange pedo ass

      There’s still the option that it was a faked death. That much wealth and power, if it could be done, that’s who and when it would be done. I’m not giving it much credence without more evidence, but I’ve got no reason to think that it’s not possible given the series of absurd happenings that morning.

          That someone was exposed as a teenage “hacker”.

          I used quotes because it was more social engineering and lying than any sort of hack.

            “hacker”… According to Epic, someone changed their handle to Epstein’s handle that was exposed in the files. There was no hacking involved.

            I would absolutely believe it that he was walked out and flown to Israel where he lives as a hero of the pedo-genocide state, but his brother who identified his body is vocal about evidence it wasn’t a suicide. I’m not sure what incentive he’d have to both lie about identifying his brother’s body and making so much noise about it being a murder…

          Like when Andy Kaufman did an entire show at the Apollo with ‘his grandmother’ rocking back and forth in a chair off to one side, only to pull off the wig and it was Robin Williams (in his quietest role ever) all along?

        Not impossible, but I don’t see what advantage there would be to keeping him alive vs just getting rid of him entirely.

          A simple trade, destruction of evidence in exchange for his life. Mind you I’d still kill him regardless but I also wouldn’t make any deal with slime like that to begin with.

            I’m guessing a guy like that who traded in relationships and secrets would be smart enough to set up a dead man drop in the event he goes quiet for too long. It keeps his life valuable.

              That too. Really it would depend how stupid he and his handlers were/are, I can’t really make any statements on stupid or smart rich assholes are though since I come from a place of assuming everyone of these profligates are universally just above braindead.

      Does it still count as suicide if they hand you the rope and tell you this is the easy way out and if you don’t play ball they’ll make sure it’s painful?

        The only threat they needed to make was a return to general population.

        I seem to remember him being attacked by another inmate. Instead of being put into protective custody he was put on suicide watch, which is its own kind of hell.

        So, he changed his will to fuck over his victims, and is suddenly pulled off suicide watch.

        The only two people needed to then make sure Epstein was dead would be the warden probably Epstein’s own lawyer. Maybe the psychiatrist who signed off on the removal from suicide watch… But the suicide watch wasn’t initially justified, so pulling Epstein off it wouldn’t seem strange.

        Hell, if you were a clever, high placed official in the DOJ, an example being Bill Barr, you could simply tell the warden to “put some pressure on the pedo” and then use the lawyer to deliver the real message of “kill yourself before we put you into the general population”.

        Then you get a dead loose end and no record of illegal activity inside the prison. Also you only have to buy off a single person who likely already has questionable morals.

    We have it on record that Epstein and Bannon were frequenting 4chan, so I can only assume it was someone from his circles

    It’s hardly surprising that an anonymous social media post could be made quicker than a news story gets approved for publishing?

      Why would a journalist put an anonymous leak on 4chan before publishing their own story? Don’t journalists want their name/company associated with the story?

        Sorry, wasn’t suggesting that the journalist did (not that it would harm their story or reputation much for 4chan to see it first) - anyone remotely close to the trail of information between the jail finding out and ABC publishing their story could have posted it - and even if they found out at the same time as the journalist did, they would have easily been first given how much needs to be checked before publishing an article under the name of a news org.
