Earlier this year, I reported that the FBI had about 400 terabytes of files relating to Jeffrey Epstein. And that’s just the FBI. To date, the DOJ has only released approximately 300 gigabytes of documents responsive to the Epstein Files Transparency Act (EFTA). That’s less than 0.08 % of the files! Please make sure to restack and share this article. It’s a critical story that needs more attention.
The FBI deleted over 400 terabytes of files
According to a member of the FBI’s elite Computer Analysis Response Team (CART), in 2020, during President Donald Trump’s first term in office, the FBI was mandated to delete about 400 terabytes of Epstein files because their network was being “replaced.” I’m providing my paid subscribers with the documents proving this.
The DOJ has only released 300 gigabytes of files
Under the failed leadership of former Attorney General Pam Bondi and now Todd Blanche, the DOJ has produced far less than 1 percent of the files.
The EFTA was signed into law by President Donald Trump on November 19, 2025. The DOJ had 30 days to make the files publicly available in a searchable and downloadable format. Pretty soon it will have been a year and the DOJ has not produced 99 percent of the files.
The EFTA required the Attorney General within 30 days to make publicly available in a searchable and downloadable format all unclassified records, documents, communications, and investigative materials in the possession of the Department of Justice, including the Federal Bureau of Investigation and United States Attorneys’ Offices, that relate to:
(1)Jeffrey Epstein including all investigations, prosecutions, or custodial matters.
(2) Ghislaine Maxwell.
(3)Flight logs or travel records, including but not limited to manifests, itineraries, pilot records, and customs or immigration documentation, for any aircraft, vessel, or vehicle owned, operated, or used by Jeffrey Epstein or any related entity.
(4)Individuals, including government officials, named or referenced in connection with Epstein’s criminal activities, civil settlements, immunity or plea agreements, or investigatory proceedings.
(5)Entities (corporate, nonprofit, academic, or governmental) with known or alleged ties to Epstein’s trafficking or financial networks.
(6)Any immunity deals, non-prosecution agreements, plea bargains, or sealed settlements involving Epstein or his associates.
(7)Internal DOJ communications, including emails, memos, meeting notes, concerning decisions to charge, not charge, investigate, or decline to investigate Epstein or his associates.
(8)All communications, memoranda, directives, logs, or metadata concerning the destruction, deletion, alteration, misplacement, or concealment of documents, recordings, or electronic data related to Epstein, his associates, his detention and death, or any investigative files.
(9) Documentation of Epstein’s detention or death, including incident reports, witness interviews, medical examiner files, autopsy reports, and written records detailing the circumstances and cause of death.
My Top 5 List of the Most Critical Missing Documents
After a cursory review of the millions of documents the DOJ has released so far, I have noticed substantial lapses. But I must forewarn you, my list does not pertain to the hundreds of victims who were sex trafficked. I am more focused on their abusers and Epstein’s co-conspirators.
In my opinion, Epstein is just a cutout in a vast criminal enterprise involved in instigating international proxy-wars, the illegal sale of military weapons, and money laundering. To that end, Epstein and his enablers corruptly influenced the powerful through bribes, blackmail, and extortion.
EFTA §2 (a)(1) & (2) requires production of all unclassified records, documents, and communications, that relate to Jeffrey Epstein and Ghislaine Maxwell.
5. PHONE RECORDS: Missing the very basics of any investigation
Simple landline and cellular phone records including call logs and billing statements. The FBI obtained warrants for phone records of some witnesses. But the records are limited in time. Epstein probably had 100 various telephone numbers since the 1980s. Where is all the data? Where are all the wiretaps and recordings? Do we assume that all these years and the FBI not once tapped any phone lines?
The DOJ produced very limited phone records. Where are all the call logs and billing statements? This is critical information that can place Epstein in certain locations, at certain times, and help us determine the extent of his elaborate network of co-conspirators. It’s basic information to any investigation and should be provided.
4. EMAILS: The missing e-mail boxes
Where are all of Epstein’s emails from the early 2000s and 1990s? None were produced. The DOJ only produced emails from two of Epstein’s gmail accounts:
jeevacation@gmail.com
jeeproject@yahoo.com
And most of those emails were from 2008 until his death. The coverage between 2001 and 2008 is weak. What about Epstein’s CompuServe accounts? Surely he had at least one in the 1980s. What about these other known boxes:
jeffrey@jeffreyepstein.org
jeffreyepstein@live.com
littlestjeff@yahoo.com
jeevacation1@me.com
jeeitunes@gmail.com
zorroranch@aol.com
epsteinj@wanadoo.fr
jeffreye@mindspring.com
jeffrey6@bellsouth.net
gmax1@mindspring.com
For paid subscribers, I posted an email scrape I did a partial email scrape of the DOJ’s files.
3. BLACKMAIL VIDEOS AND SURVEILLANCE EQUIPMENT
It’s obvious that one function Epstein played in the overall criminal enterprise was to blackmail powerful individuals in sexual acts with children. We have a number of verified allegations from victims, including Virginia Giuffre, who have stated they were raped by individuals such as Israel’s former prime minister Ehud Barak. Where are all the recordings?
What about all the high-tech spy gear? The FBI apparently did not find any surveillance equipment? How is that possible? Where are the investigative notes about this? Who searched for it? When? Where? What experience did they have? Did someone in the DOJ or FBI tip Epstein off before he was arrested and the New York townhouse raided? Following his arrest, his people had at least a month to destroy evidence at Little St. James. And of course, the FBI never raided the Zorro Ranch. What about the Paris apartment? Nothing.
2. TAX RETURNS
The DOJ did not release Epstein personal tax returns and attachments. Surely the Criminal Investigation Division of the IRS has significant files on Epstein. Where are they? Epstein’s personal and business tax returns, including all of the attachments, from the early 1980s to the present (including the estate’s returns), would provide some of the most critical information about the extent of Epstein’s money laundering network. Surely the FBI has copies of all of Epstein’s tax returns. Let’s see them.
1. ACCOUNTING
The DOJ did not release all of the books and records for Epstein’s businesses. This information will provide us with the details about the intercompany transfers and loans that enabled Epstein to launder money. What accounting software did the “financial genius” use? We should have copies of all those records dating back to the 1980s. This cache of data would enable us to trace the origins of illicit crime proceeds sent to Epstein and the various financial institutions, accounts, trusts, businesses, and other high net worth individuals he washed the money through. It’s FBI 101. Where are the records?
