Exclusive: Epstein hid secret files in storage units across US
Jeffrey Epstein hid computers and photographs from United States authorities in secret storage lockers across the country, The Telegraph can reveal.
Documents uncovered by this newspaper show the paedophile paid private detectives to remove equipment from his Florida home in an apparent attempt to prevent investigators from finding it.
The documents also show that he rented six storage units across the US and used them to house items from his properties, including computers from Little Saint James, his private island in the Caribbean.
He leased at least one unit from 2003, when he was part of a Florida social set that included Donald Trump. Credit card receipts obtained by The Telegraph show regular storage payments continued until 2019, the year of his death.
Search warrants reviewed by The Telegraph suggest US authorities never raided the lockers, raising the possibility that they may contain unseen evidence relating to Epstein and his associates, including Andrew Mountbatten-Windsor and Lord Mandelson.

(51,066 posts)yet we keep finding out about tons of files.
They said there is no "list".
Yet we have seen tons of names listed and some have faced career consequences in other countries.
The Dow is under 50,000 so we better get those files before it goes above 50,000 again.

I don't understand why she is still "incarcerated" if you want to call it that.

(131,109 posts)ignored his Paris place, missed the "secret" room/safe in his NY place, etc., etc., etc. One would think it was done on purpose. Either that, or we were paying some of the most incompetent people in those departments ever. No writer of fiction could have ever gotten away with such a cast of incompetent assholes. No editor would have passed it. Fiction has to at least touch plausible reality.

OTOH, EvaBlondi may want to get that evidence so she can further conceal it......

(2,585 posts)They have been very quiet.
Obviously Epstein would have given the access to SOMEBODY, as his own personal protection (which didn't really work out for him.

(3,417 posts)The computers would have been wiped and any documents destroyed.

It seems like somebody is sitting on this.
This is a high-stakes game.
