You redact the name of people so they don’t get harassed.
While this shows that they were pretty chummy about money and women, this doesn’t mean that this photo is proof of trafficking.
The note underneath where the guy who set up the deal being shown in the picture, whining about how he didn't get any money for the sale of the girl, does though.
That wouldn’t hold up in any court on its own.
It's rare that any single piece of evidence does.
Luckily there are mountains of other proof to back it up. Including multiple eye witnesses.
No one is saying it's proof of trafficking. But it does show they joked about it, and casually enough to even scrapbook it.
Well, yeah they wrote notes to each other about selling humans but its not like this proves they were selling humans. If you ignore everything else that has happened in the last decade around these people its really innocent fun.
