A place here on Lemmy to keep track of the release of the files, but also to explore what’s already available, and why – with enough exposure – this could bring the man down (though probably not his regime).
Only rule is to add [TW] in front of your post title if you suspect that a survivor of sexual abuse might find your post triggering.
That and keep it civil and amicable.

Still trying to wrap my head around how at that time and in that context and when so many technology CEOs and celebrity/politically active people seem involved, they were all sending these plain text emails, didn't bother the least to try to make communication more secure and private
Assuming it was the state-backed honeypot it seems to be, plus the fact that the rich don't face consequences unless they turn on their own kind, that explains most of the wide-reaching clientele and the lack of concern for hiding it.
Why would they? Laws are for peasants. If you're a rich rapist, they make you president
Rich people unfortunately don't need to fear being prosecuted. They know very well that they are above the law.
Ummm, you realize that all of this came about because a rich guy went to jail, right?
Epstein wasn't a 'real' rich guy, he was an uplifted peasant fall guy. Dude was a fucking teacher until someone made him the designated head of the worldwide child trafficking ring.
Yay, one of 500 went to jail, justice served
I mean none of them will face any real consequences from this because the American public are too lazy and stupid to make them, so why wouldn't they?
Even among the rich, they'll call you a paranoid weirdo.
