Pranksters Recreated a Working Version of Jeffrey Epstein's Gmail Inbox
"Last week, the House Committee on Oversight and Government Reform released 20,000 documents from the estate of registered sex offender and disgraced financier Jeffrey Epstein. They included thousands of emails sent between Epstein and high-profile people like Epstein confidant Ghislaine Maxwell, political strategist Steve Bannon, journalist Michael Wolff, and former US treasury secretary Larry Summers, as well as revealing text messages. Many of them allude or directly refer to president Donald Trump."
"Jmail is a website that looks very much like Gmail, except that there is a little hat hanging on the logo and that the profile picture in the top right corner is a grinning Epstein. (Click on it and it says "Hi Jeffrey!") The inbox lets you click through thousands of emails, formatted to look exactly like a regular message would in your inbox."
"The site is created by serial prankster Riley Walz and Luke Igel, cofounder of an AI video editing tool Kano AI. Igel tells WIRED that he brought the idea to Walz-something Walz confirms-and then the two of them put the website together with Cursor in a single night. Walz revealed Jmail in an X post, writing, "We cloned Gmail, except you're logged in as Epstein and can see his emails.""
Twenty thousand documents from Jeffrey Epstein's estate were released by the House Committee on Oversight and Government Reform, including thousands of emails and revealing text messages. The messages include correspondence with Ghislaine Maxwell, Steve Bannon, Michael Wolff, Larry Summers, and multiple allusions to President Donald Trump. Jmail recreates a Gmail-like interface that lets users browse the entire email cache as if logged in as Epstein, with a grinning Epstein profile and familiar inbox, starred, and sent views. Creators Riley Walz and Luke Igel assembled the site quickly using Cursor. Jmail improves readability compared with PDF batches and adds a community starring feature to rank notable emails.
