    Sounds like Epstein got the confidential-informant-who-gets-a-fake-identity treatment. From the sounds of the rumors, it wouldn’t be the FBI either. Given it involves international parties, it would probably involve the CIA and Epstein would literally be protected by the Intelligence Identities Protection Act if his new identity were to be revealed, and at the highest classification of secrecy, so nobody involved in the operation probably even knows who they are providing support to.

      I mean the autopsy agrees with the statements in the 3 post 4chan thread, which was the first to claim epstein was dead. There was also a leak in some of the docs with a reporting reaching out to the FBI about a paramedic who leaked the situation via 4chan. So at least the FBI clearly thought that claim was credible.

      The second 4chan claim, about the swapping out. This one is tough. I’ve dug around and I can’t confirm that the subpoena records go anywhere. I can find the subpoena to 4chan and 4chans legal response. I can also find the subpoenas to T-mobile and I think Sprint, looking for the information on the IP addresses given by 4chans legal response. But I can’t find the response from the telcoms to those subpoenas. Thats where the chain ends for me currently.
