"New York State Sex Offender Registry via AP, File Information released by the Department of Justice in some of the files surrounding convicted sex offender Jeffrey Epstein was not properly redacted, with blacked-out text becoming visible with a simple copy and paste. When the DOJ posted documents under the Epstein Files Transparency Act on its website beginning Friday in accordance with the midnight deadline, the level of redacted information drew instant outrage."
"But as more information continued to be released, amounting to nearly 30,000 documents, some viewers found that blackout intended to protect sensitive information was easily sidestepped by simply copying the text into a separate document. In one of the released files spotlighted by The New York Times a civil suit against the executors of Epstein's estate a redacted portion of text shows that an executor signed a check sent from Epstein's foundation to an immigration lawyer."
"One redacted portion of the suit reads: Between September 2015 and June 2019, Indyke signed (FAC) for over $400,000 made payable to young female models and actresses, including a former Russian model who received over $380,000 through monthly payments of $8,333 made over a period of more than three and a half years until the middle of 2019. Indyke has not been criminally indicted by authorities."
The Department of Justice posted nearly 30,000 files under the Epstein Files Transparency Act, but many redactions were improperly applied and could be bypassed by copying blacked-out text into a new document. The reversible redactions exposed payments and alleged coercion linked to Jeffrey Epstein's estate and associates. One file shows an executor signed checks from Epstein's foundation, with payments to young female models and actresses including a Russian model who received over $380,000 via monthly $8,333 installments. Additional redacted passages allege threats against victims and instructions to witnesses to destroy evidence. One implicated executor has not been criminally indicted.
