Somebody in Israel logged into Epstein's Fortnight account a few years after his supposed death, FYI.
I hate this timeline so much
Is there any reason to believe it wasn’t hacked? If I’m murdered then my account being accessed doesn’t prove I’m secretly alive. Especially if I used insecure passwords like Epstein is reported to have done.
It’s not impossible, but if he was still alive I find it hard to believe he’d just access it once and never again. Stupid billionaires with bad passwords probably happens all the time and we just don’t know about it because they’re not at the center of an international child sex exploitation crime ring.
See, this is my take as well - other people knew/guessed his passwords and used his account that way. Keeping him alive really doesn't do anything for the "it's all a coverup" story, especially when a LOT of his associates and contacts are getting tangled up in this release of his files. Additionally, this guy was talking so openly about manipulating markets, sex crimes, and all sorts of legal and quasi legal shit that I find it hard to imagine that EVEN IF he was connected to Israeli intelligence like has been suggested, EVEN IF he got spirited out of prison and away to Tel Aviv, I find it hard to imagine Mossad would want to keep such a DEEPLY compromised asset alive instead of driving him into the Negev and putting two bullets in the back of his head.
Trump's Twitter password was maga or something like that. After it got hacked I'm pretty sure it was maga2020 when it got hacked again
So I guess it’s maga2028 now?
I would bet a handler was checking the device and fucked up.
and played a few ranked rocket league games for fun while they were at it
This was a hoax, look it up.
Their FedEx account was in use until 2024.

That someone was exposed as a teenage "hacker".
I used quotes because it was more social engineering and lying than any sort of hack.
"hacker"... According to Epic, someone changed their handle to Epstein's handle that was exposed in the files. There was no hacking involved.
I would absolutely believe it that he was walked out and flown to Israel where he lives as a hero of the pedo-genocide state, but his brother who identified his body is vocal about evidence it wasn't a suicide. I'm not sure what incentive he'd have to both lie about identifying his brother's body and making so much noise about it being a murder...
He was killed! He's dead, but killed! Dead, you see? Dead. Don't go looking for him.
I've been hearing that the "changed handle" thing isn't valid, because when an account handle is changed you can still see the original on the user's profile (and that wasn't the case for the littlestjeff account). With all the misinformation flying around, I have no idea about the accuracy of this though.
Yeah, it seems implausible to me that such a gaping security hole would be in a hugely popular game that long, but I guess that’s also not impossible. Stupider things have happened.
it’s a very common security issue. it’s usually not a problem because deletions aren’t very common: usually accounts are just inactive, and it’s not a problem that really effects the company itself so there’s no really big reason to focus on fixing it
i’m not arguing either way on this specific case; i’d not heard about it until right now… but it’s pretty plausible from a software and security standpoint
Does it sound plausible from the perspective of a company that has probably at minimum thousands of accounts getting deleting or renamed per day? This seems like something that would have caused much bigger problems much earlier, just due to the number of people involved.
imo still very plausible… the key thing is deleted… accounts are rarely deleted, especially when they contain purchases and things like fortnight accounts do. more often than not, they’re suspended or just inactive which means the public ID remains used
Remember that he was deeply involved in Epstein's businesses, including holding the position of president over the J Epstein & Co investment firm.
Then if he went far enough to lie about identifying the body, it would serve him to not make a lot of noise about there being a big government conspiracy around it...
True, assuming this is rational behavior. People can do some pretty crazy things out of hubris or pressure though.
I'm not going to definitively state that Jeffery isn't dead. It really is most plausible that he died that night. I just, wouldn't be surprised if he showed up alive.
Yeah, that's exactly what I said.
I read somewhere that it was somebody else who changed their username to match his, and not the same account. Can't find a source for it either way though.
