4Chan knew about Jeffrey Epstein's death 38 minutes before the rest of the world. The FBI tried to figure out how.

Probably trying to find a way to sue 4chan.

And certain accounts in certain places known to be Epstein accounts are mysteriously active...

What if his passwords were leaked or were in the published files? Then it's easy to understand why.

Elon and his cohorts have been involved in 4chan since it was a cultural phenomenon back in the day. Not because he had some skin in the game, but because it probably felt good to know and disseminate information before the rest of the 4channers knew it. That boy is all about clout before anything else.

True, assuming this is rational behavior. People can do some pretty crazy things out of hubris or pressure though. I'm not going to definitively state that Jeffery isn't dead. It really is most plausible that he died that night. I just, wouldn't be surprised if he showed up alive.

Yeah, that's exactly what I said.

"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 bot...

He was killed! He's dead, but killed! Dead, you see? Dead. Don't go looking for him.

whenever there is breaking news, I always pop over to 4chan. They have videos, images, witnesses, and statements before any mainstream media.

Yup, same. Even now, despite how bad it's gotten over there. They're usually ahead of certain types of news

They were accessed before the files were released. One was a FedEx account that was actively being used for shipping. He has a bank account that his estate funded after he died that was drawn down to zero over time and even had things like cable bills posted against it.

Is there any reason to believe it wasn’t hacked? If I’m murdered then my account being accessed doesn’t prove I’m secretly alive. Especially if I used insecure passwords like Epstein is reported to have done. It’s not impossible, but if he was still alive I find it hard to believe he’d just access it once and never again. Stupid billionaires with bad passwords probably happens all the time and ...

See, this is my take as well - other people knew/guessed his passwords and used his account that way. Keeping him alive really doesn't do anything for the "it's all a coverup" story, especially when a LOT of his associates and contacts are getting tangled up in this release of his files. Additionally, this guy was talking so openly about manipulating markets, sex crimes, and all sorts of legal and quasi legal shit that I find it hard to imagine that EVEN IF he was connected to Israeli intelligence like has been suggested, EVEN IF he got spirited out of prison and away to Tel Aviv, I find it hard to imagine Mossad would want to keep such a DEEPLY compromised asset alive instead of driving him into the Negev and putting two bullets in the back of his head.

O...kay, you got any sources with even a shred of credibility? Because those are links to two random entertainers on youtube, a substack article (yay, nazi news platforms!) and an article that claims to have accessed epstein's FedEx account but doesn't provide even a screenshot as evidence.

I'm not chatGPT, I'm not going to do your work for you for free. Those videos show you URLs in the files or... Who am I kidding, you aren't going to do leg work, you're so incredibly intellectually lazy as to write off all of substack and YouTube. GL skid

They know who he raped children with, that's their blackmail cache.

They don't know who the weak link in the chain is; that's going to end up being blackmail against them.

It's way worse than reddit. It is trolls trolling the cesspool. It just so happens that thanks to no filters, 4chan breaks news faster than anyone. They had all the Charlie kirk videos before anyone and the news of his shooters capture too. They knew world cup hosts and all about Luigi hehe anyone. Celebrity scandals and political victories too.

Not worth it.

It's almost the absolute worst of humanity made anonymous and public. "Almost" is only there because they will delete blatantly illegal content like cp, but anything else goes. Overt racism becomes normalized because people engage with it so it keeps getting bumped to the top. Some legitimately mean it, some are just trolling for the lolz, but either way it desensitizes people and normalizes the view.

Repeat for any other kind of bigotry or harmful view you can imagine.

In terms of real people behind the accounts

One of the defining features of 4chan is the lack of accounts. Most posts are anonymous. Even harder to tell if someone is human or bot when you can instantly just roll a new anon ID.

Yeah I don't think this is necessarily related. At least one of the two sets of claims looks credible, came from a New Jersey IP, and are connected with someone who worked at the facility.

The timing could very well be a coincidence. But he had deep ties with pretty much everybody regardless

I'm sure it was possible to swap Epstein out. I just don't think there was the motivation for it

No one wants Epstein alive. The rich and powerful want to bury their crimes, normal people want retribution. The only motivator I can imagine would be a deadman switch, but even if Epstein were smuggled out, the rich and powerful would have dismantled any blackmail Epstein had by now and finished the job

I see no path that still has Epstein alive at this point

gonna be honest, it's not usually worth being on the bleeding edge or whatever the kids are calling it of info if you have to go to 4chan. take a nap, let your blood pressure drop, and then go back to your usual reliable sources.

What’s keeping Ghislaine in a vacation prison where she gets her own dog, and the warden her bitch?

There is no way she could die without the public overwhelmingly being angry about the situation, after what happened to Epstein. Therefore the best course for those in power is to placate her and give her the best conditions possible in exchange for her giving false testimony absolving them

What’s keeping all the American billionaires in the Epstein Files free from accountability?

The fact they're in power and able to quash investigations, and the public is generally too distracted by divisive politics like race and gender identity

Don't give up understanding it so easily. You can make sense of it when you consider the motivations and limitations of the players involved

It is! Until you tell everyone that you hang out on /b/. Much like a number of people in his DOGE cabinet that were salivating at the chance to undermine the government without understanding how it functioned. Telling people that you browse /b/ is virtue signaling that you're mentally deficient.

Jeffrey is hers, she gets what she wants.

  1. She's still in prison, so even if Epstein is alive somewhere, she hasn't gotten him

  2. Epstein would hold as much, or more, blackmail than her

  3. If she held that level of power, she would be out of prison herself
