00:00Hey, how was your weekend? Good? Great. Small talk over. Let's talk about Epstein. Okay.
00:06Welcome to Ms. Mojo. And today, we're separating viral rumor from verifiable reality,
00:12breaking down what the Epstein files do show, and what they very clearly do not.
00:17So look, it's not about President Trump. It's about a ton of people.
00:22The Epstein is still alive conspiracy refuses to die.
00:25Frenzy and fallout surrounding the Epstein files continues. Fake photos of Epstein going viral this weekend,
00:32fueling conspiracy theories that he is alive and hiding out in Israel. What's going on?
00:38Despite years of official findings, the claim that Jeffrey Epstein faked his death resurfaces every time new documents are released.
00:46The rumor typically points to alleged inconsistencies in guard behavior, malfunctioning cameras, or missing footage.
00:52What's often left out is that none of the official investigations into Epstein's death concluded he survived.
00:59This weekend, new fake photos went viral, adding fuel to the fire with these conspiracy theories that he's very much
01:06alive and spotted on the streets of Israel.
01:09Now, these are the images that circulated. Users online claimed that Israel faked his death and that Epstein was seen
01:16walking the streets of Tel Aviv.
01:18The Department of Justice Inspector General report identified severe institutional failures and negligence in custody procedures,
01:25but it didn't present evidence contradicting the medical examiner's determination of death.
01:30Importantly, no subsequent court filing, investigative review, or forensic analysis has reversed that finding.
01:37The rumor endures because it offers emotional resolution, not because it's supported by facts.
01:42Now, cropping, like we saw done with this photo online, is a technique that's often used to share falsehoods or
01:49spread fake news,
01:49because it enables users to crop or remove the AI logo or watermark involved.
01:55I also want to mention here that these street signs in the Hebrew do not actually mean anything.
02:00They don't translate to anything useful.
02:02And again, this is another consistent AI giveaway.
02:04The viral myth of Epstein's secret gaming life.
02:08Maybe Jeffrey Epstein is still alive.
02:10In the Epstein files, there's a receipt from YouTube where his username is LittlestJeff1.
02:15Hello, LittlestJeff1.
02:18Wait, LittlestJeff1.
02:20There was a charge in May 2019, but he died in August.
02:25Wait, Chapter 5, Season 1?
02:28Wait, that was, that was recent.
02:31One of the most surreal rumors to emerge claimed Epstein was secretly active online through a gaming account,
02:37most famously tied to Fortnite.
02:39Screenshots circulated rapidly, with users arguing that account timing or usernames hinted at posthumous activity.
02:46However, the claim collapsed once examined by journalists and the platform itself.
02:51Now, for whatever reason, the to and the from are blocked out.
02:56We don't know who sent this.
02:58I assume it's to Jeffrey Epstein, or maybe it's him sending this out.
03:04Again, we don't know.
03:06But regardless, there is, there was apparently a charge on somebody's account.
03:13Epic Games confirmed the account in question wasn't connected to Epstein and that the rumor was a hoax.
03:18Reporting emphasized that usernames and coincidental activity patterns are common in large online ecosystems and don't imply identity.
03:26Crucially, none of the released Epstein emails or documents authenticate any connection to gaming platforms or online avatars.
03:34It could be a troll, but how could it be a troll if they did it so far in advance?
03:39The account isn't brand new.
03:41It was discovered.
03:42My guy faked his death and immediately started playing Fortnite.
03:45Fortnite Chapter 1 Season 10 ran from August 1st to October 2019.
03:53Crazy, get the screenshot of him playing Season 6 before it's too late.
03:56The bizarre celebrity wedding that never happened.
03:59This rumor alleged that celebrities held weddings on Epstein's private island, with Tony Hawk among those falsely implicated.
04:06Hawk directly addressed the claim, explaining that his wedding took place in Fiji, not on Epstein's property,
04:12and that the rumor stemmed from name confusion and online amplification.
04:17Journalists corroborated this through dates, locations, and publicly available photographs.
04:22Importantly, no authenticated document from the Epstein files asserts that such a wedding occurred.
04:27The rumor illustrates how vague references, when stripped of context, can mutate into false narratives.
04:33Once primary facts were checked, the story completely unraveled.
04:38Why being named in the files isn't proof of anything.
04:41Yeah, that's right, Vlad.
04:42I mean, with Elon Musk, he said that he refused to go to the island.
04:45And then in these new files, it came out, I think it was an email that said,
04:48what day or night will be the wildest party on your island?
04:51To Jeffrey Epstein, Howard Lutnik apparently went there with his family.
04:55Perhaps the most widespread misconception is the belief that appearing in the Epstein files automatically signals wrongdoing.
05:01Legal experts and journalists have repeatedly emphasized that this is incorrect.
05:06The released materials include emails, contact lists, travel references, and third-party mentions.
05:12Names appear for logistical, social, and professional reasons, many unrelated to criminal behavior.
05:18The files also include 5,300 documents that reference Donald Trump, including unverified claims against him,
05:27news articles, as well as emails in which he is name-checked.
05:30To be very clear, Trump has not been accused of anything illegal, and he denies any wrongdoing related to Jeffrey
05:38Epstein.
05:38Courts don't treat inclusion in a document dump as evidence of guilt, and neither should the public.
05:44The files provide context, not conclusions.
05:47Conflating mention with misconduct undermines due process and creates false narratives that harm innocent individuals.
05:54This distinction is essential to understanding what the documents actually represent.
05:58Those photographs of Prince Andrew, where he denies, he says he doesn't remember anything about Virginia Dufresne.
06:06Well, will this jog your memory?
06:08Here's another photographic evidence that we're showing right now.
06:14You know, do you still want to stand by the idea that you don't remember what happened, or you don't
06:17recall that you were ever there?
06:19The darkest claim pulled from a single redacted tip.
06:21The newly released documents show early police reports and an ignored FBI tip, raising serious questions about why Jeffrey Epstein
06:29wasn't stopped years ago.
06:31One of the most disturbing rumors involved an alleged infant death, inferred by some online commentators from a heavily redacted
06:38tip referenced in secondary summaries.
06:41Reputable coverage describes this as an unverified tip that didn't lead to charges or corroboration.
06:46Law enforcement agencies routinely receive tips in high-profile cases, many of which prove unreliable or unverifiable.
06:54She was born. I heard her cries, the diary reads.
06:57I saw this tiny head and body in between the doctor's hands.
07:01Ghislaine said she was beautiful. Where is she?
07:04The presence of a redacted reference does not elevate a claim to fact.
07:08No court filing, indictment, or investigative summary confirms this allegation.
07:12The rumor demonstrates how redactions, meant to protect privacy or sensitive information, can be gravely misinterpreted.
07:20Believe what you will.
07:22Draw your own conclusions about the veracity of this, about the accuracy of this, about the reasonableness of this occurrence.
07:32But I'm not ruling it out.
07:34The rumored royal scandal with no public evidence.
07:36This was supposed to be a mundane public appearance for the king.
07:40But the revelations in the Epstein files mean that the most senior member of the firm is now being asked
07:47one question.
07:49Charles, how long have you known about Andrew and Edgerton?
07:56In the days following the January 2026 document release, online speculation once again turned toward royalty,
08:03with social media users claiming that newly surfaced emails secretly implicated additional members of a royal family beyond what was
08:10already known.
08:11The problem is that no authenticated document released by the U.S. Department of Justice actually makes such an allegation.
08:18King Charles says he's, quote, ready to support the police as they look into claims that his brother shared confidential
08:24material
08:24with the convicted sex offender back when Andrew was a trade envoy.
08:28Journalistic reviews of the material, including contemporaneous coverage by major outlets,
08:33found no new correspondence, travel records, or witness testimony introducing fresh claims involving royals.
08:40What does exist are long public references that have been litigated, reported on, and contextualized for years.
08:47The new files did not expand that record.
08:49A Kensington Palace spokesperson said that Prince William and Princess Catherine were deeply concerned by the ongoing revelations
08:57and that their thoughts are firmly with the victims.
09:00But their statement did not mention Jeffrey Epstein by name, nor Prince William's uncle, a man facing several allegations.
09:09The misread email that sparked a political firestorm.
09:12Well, lots of folks pointed out that Bubba is a nickname for former President Bill Clinton.
09:21Okay, one second, hold on, ready?
09:28Nope.
09:31Not enough.
09:32One of the most widely shared claims centered on a 2009 email from Mark Epstein, Jeffrey Epstein's younger brother.
09:38In the email, Mark Epstein relayed second-hand remarks about then-private citizen Donald Trump,
09:44including a vague anecdote referencing a conversation and an individual nicknamed Bubba.
09:49Online discourse quickly reframed the email as a first-hand accusation or verified account.
09:54That framing was incorrect.
09:56The email was informal, speculative, and explicitly second-hand.
10:01Importantly, it was never treated as evidence by investigators,
10:04nor was it accompanied by corroborating testimony.
10:07Journalists reviewing the email emphasized that it reflected Epstein's claims, not verified fact.
10:13Mark Epstein released a statement saying this email was, quote,
10:17part of a humorous private exchange between two brothers,
10:19and any attempt to conflate that reference with President Clinton
10:23misrepresents both the purpose and the tone of the original correspondence.
10:27Boo!
10:30Boo, Mark!
10:32Let us have a silly one.
10:33The myth of hidden charges buried in the files.
10:36And this morning, no new charges are expected following the latest release of the Epstein files
10:41by the Justice Department.
10:43This includes 3,000 photos and other documents tied to the late sex offender.
10:47Several billionaires' names appear in this latest batch,
10:50along with Britain's former Prince Andrew.
10:53A persistent claim online suggested that the Epstein files contained previously undisclosed criminal charges
10:59that prosecutors ignored or suppressed.
11:01This misunderstands both the nature of the release and the criminal justice process.
11:06The January 2026 disclosure consisted of emails, attachments, logs, scanned documents,
11:12and audiovisual material produced in response to court orders and transparency requests.
11:17It wasn't an indictment, charging document, or prosecutorial filing.
11:22Legal analysts were quick to note that criminal charges must be formally filed in court,
11:26not inferred from document dumps.
11:29Treating raw documents as if they contain hidden prosecutions
11:32collapses the distinction between investigation and adjudication.
11:36There have been hundreds of calls made to the FBI
11:40where allegations are made by either anonymous individuals
11:43or people who are very quickly determined to not be credible,
11:47whether it's the nature of what they're saying
11:49or the fact they won't provide any information or corroboration.
11:53And that's part of the Epstein files.
11:55The belief that the public has only seen a fraction of the evidence.
11:58I mean, we reviewed over six million pieces of paper,
12:02thousands of videos, thousands, tens of thousands of images,
12:06and which is what the statute required us to do.
12:08You know, it's interesting.
12:09Leadership on the Hill, Congressman Massey, Senator Schumer,
12:14are quick to complain.
12:15There is no way they have spent any time looking at the materials we produce
12:20because I know the materials we produce.
12:22We produce them on Friday.
12:23This rumor is rooted in a partial truth.
12:26It is accurate that not all Epstein-related investigative material is public.
12:31On February 3rd, 2026, the Justice Department confirmed that members of Congress
12:35were permitted to review unredacted files in secure facilities,
12:39a standard practice in sensitive cases.
12:41Online speculation, however, quickly escalated into claims of a vast,
12:46separate archive containing explosive revelations deliberately withheld from the public.
12:50No reporting supports that leap.
12:53We need to separate those two ideas, the fact that there's the Epstein files
12:57and whether there's anybody there that we can go after,
12:59and the work that we are doing every day, which is extraordinary,
13:02and we will continue to do that.
13:05Journalists clarified that unredacted access doesn't imply the existence of a secret trove.
13:10Instead, it reflects legal constraints around privacy, evidentiary integrity,
13:15and ongoing civil litigation.
13:17What remains unseen is governed by process, not proof suppression.
13:21The distinction matters because transparency limits are being misread as confirmation of conspiracy.
13:27We have nothing to hide.
13:29We have nothing to hide.
13:31We never did, and our doors are open if they want to come and review any of the materials that
13:35we produce.

13:51The theory that Epstein wasn't acting alone or randomly.
13:56Growing suspicions of a Russian connection.
13:59Epstein had apparently limitless supplies of money.
14:03Where did it come from?
14:05He procured many young Russian girls.
14:09Why was that so easy for him?
14:11The files released show more than a thousand documents which referred to Vladimir Putin.
14:17The most enduring theory argues that Jeffrey Epstein wasn't merely an isolated offender,
14:22but part of a larger coordinated system.
14:25The files do show extensive networks.
14:27Financial institutions, private travel arrangements, political donors, academics and social elites.
14:34What they don't establish is a centralized command structure directing Epstein's actions.
14:39Ari Ben-Munash has never presented any hard evidence that Robert Maxwell,
14:43Ghislaine Maxwell or Jeffrey Epstein are spies.
14:47Meanwhile, Alex Acosta steadfastly denies ever being told that Epstein belongs to intelligence.
14:54The rest of the evidence is very circumstantial.
14:56You know, Epstein working with someone's father or an ex-Israeli prime minister flying on Epstein's plane.
15:03Investigative findings consistently point to money, access and institutional negligence
15:08as enabling factors rather than orchestration.
15:10The Department of Justice Inspector General's reporting, while focused on custody failures,
15:16reinforces this pattern of systemic breakdown rather than conspiracy.
15:19The appeal of this theory lies in its narrative clarity.
15:22A single villain feels insufficient to explain the scale of failure.
15:26But scale alone doesn't equal coordination.
15:29The documents show connections, not control.
15:32The FBI says that he was Putin's wealth manager.
15:37Epstein filed all of his messages.
15:40He filmed and taped powerful Western leaders in deeply compromising situations.
15:46Why?
15:47Doesn't it make you wonder at least about the possibility of a KGB operation big enough to
15:53ensnare former presidents and prime ministers and the leaders of some of the world's most powerful
15:58companies?
15:59Are there any Epstein rumors we missed?
