Open sores software? Ouch, sounds painful.

Probably from the cats he was recording videos of to share.

And yet not a single person involved is being persecuted, bizarre...

MAGAts would have to admit they were at the very least wrong (if not complicit) for that, and we all know that ain't happening.

It's crazy to me that people still think law in the US equally applies to everyone, and are in shock every time they see that it doesn't.

[–] anomnom@sh.itjust.works 15 points 1 month ago* (last edited 1 month ago)

We’re not in shock, we’re increasingly dejected and occasionally it builds up enough to make us scream for a minute before worse news mutes us again.

[–] prole@lemmy.blahaj.zone 20 points 1 month ago (2 children)

persecuted

I think the word you're looking for is "prosecuted"

[–] Ilovethebomb@sh.itjust.works 9 points 1 month ago (1 children)

Not prosecuted, but it's caused royals to lose their title, for example. And it's still going.

The dude that took that email was on his work computer at Harvard! Fucking wild.

[–] A_norny_mousse@piefed.zip 32 points 1 month ago

People do be like that, esp. back then. It somehow ties in with the whole "I got nothing to hide (and don't you dare sniffing around)" attitude.

Mitch Webber's original email to him was essentially "yeah you're golden, fuck as many minors as you like, just bring them to another state first". And he still seems to have kept his job at (checks notes) an antisemitism group.

...what would happen if one were to transport a minor for sex — or transport oneself with the intent to have sex with a minor — into a state in which the age of consent is below eighteen (assuming the minor is above the age of consent in the given state)? And your intuition was right. The answer is that there is no violation of law.”

Let's be clear: everyone has a right to be represented by a lawyer in court, and we shouldn't judge lawyers for defending rapists because they're literally their job. But that's not what's happening here; this is him actively helping Epstein figure out the best way to rape children.

to be clear, this is a group for prevention of antisemitism and not a group who aims to be antisemitic, right?

[–] Corkyskog@sh.itjust.works 18 points 1 month ago

With Zionists those groups are starting to overlap.

[–] andros_rex@lemmy.world 13 points 1 month ago (5 children)

“Antisemitism” has been redefined to mean opposition to the genocide of Palestinians.

It's probably what has surprised me the most about all this, how much has happened on free hosted email accounts.

I guess it means that privacy from human eyes (i.e. not automated scanning) is pretty good. Or Google/Yahoo is in on a conspiracy but I can't imagine regular operations staff being made aware of it.

[–] Dojan@pawb.social 27 points 1 month ago* (last edited 1 month ago)

Doesn’t have to be regular ops staff. Might be that some accounts are flagged as exempt because they’re too rich and special. Someone gets a list of those accounts and just plug it in somewhere.

[–] infinitesunrise@slrpnk.net 34 points 1 month ago* (last edited 1 month ago) (1 children)

Do however keep in mind that the entire intent here seemed to be the creation of blackmail, it's not just banality of evil but also ol Jeffy making sure that the dark desires of his marks was properly documented for mossad or whoever he was being funded by. He wasn't worried about being caught by the state, he was an actor of the state.

[–] Duamerthrax@lemmy.world 18 points 1 month ago

It's the reason there's so many pictures of Epstein photobombing near celebrities. And the celebrities knew it.

[–] Passerby6497@lemmy.world 33 points 1 month ago

The fact that all these communications were pulled from GMail and presumably known to law enforcement for years shows its not signal.

[–] xorollo@leminal.space 13 points 1 month ago (1 children)

Email is never private. The protocol is not secure. You have to add an encryption layer on top to get that, and it's annoying to manage.

Why does everyone keep saying Gmail? Did no one read his email address? It clearly says Yahoo....

[–] arc99@lemmy.world 14 points 1 month ago* (last edited 1 month ago)

Epstein had other email addresses like jeevacation@gmail.com. It largely doesn't matter other than it being kind of stupid to be using a US based cloud email server when the warrants come in.

[–] hector@lemmy.today 21 points 1 month ago

It's like that saying about owing the bank money, if it's small amounts, you have a problem, if tens of billions, it's the bank's problem.

So it goes for being an Israeli honeypot entrapping politicians and swells into raping children and other perversions (and tax evasion,) on camera. You catch one of them doing it is your problem if caught. If you catch a critical mass of them doing it, on camera, it's their problem.

the best security is to not be in great conflict of interest with great powers

[–] MalReynolds@slrpnk.net 19 points 1 month ago

Complete arrogance about ever getting caught because you have blackmail on everyone is the signal of the rich.

That quote could mean a lot of things /s

It reminds me of my coke dealer

Me: drugs? Him: drugs.

Then I swing by. Say what you will about hard drugs least I’m not out looking for teenagers. What do you even talk to teenager about, even coked out. School?

[–] Viking_Hippie@lemmy.dbzer0.com 9 points 1 month ago* (last edited 1 month ago)

Me: drugs? Him: drugs.

To be fair, that's simultaneously specific enough that there's no risk of miscommunication AND vague enough that it's of absolutely no use to any narcs spying on your correspondence 😘👌 😄

[–] FauxLiving@lemmy.world 15 points 1 month ago* (last edited 1 month ago) (7 children)

This looks more like he's discussing defenses to his case with his lawyer.

Look at the e-mail that Epstein replied to, it seems to be specifically related to discussing his case. This appears to be from his lawyer

Remember, though, that sex trafficking is inapplicable in your case. As I wrote in my August 11 memo, "In Epstein's case, (1) he never transported any girl across state lines, and (2) he never traveled with the intent of soliciting prostitution from underage girls. (Because section 2423(b) is essentially an 'attempt' statute, it requires specific intent of wrongdoing. See, e.g., United States v. Sims, 428 F.3d 945, 959-60 (10th Cir. 2005).)

Then the e-mail in the OP is sent.

It's gross, but my initial reading was that he's creating a plan to travel and is trying to dodge laws. However, in reading the full context, it seems more like they're talking about his cases.

e: as discovered below, this e-mail is from August 2006, he was arrested 1 month before this, so this e-mail is almost certainly about his case and not about trying to find loopholes to do more crimes.

Sure, but you’re not an agent of the state and are more likely to be arrested for your cat videos than Epstein was about pedophilia.

We need protection from them, they don't need protection from us.
