Epstein victim Maria Farmer said in her phone interview posted earlier in this comm: (edited for readability)

45:52

Whitney I got it I've got to tell you something this is why I've been dying to tell you: there are only 30 women that have come forward! 30! Whitney, I saw between - I'm not kidding I'm very disturbed by this part - I saw at least five girls come in that house a day

I mean . . . really high the actual amount. No Whitney it's in it's in the thousand(s). Where are they? Where are they? Are they dead - I mean, children have to be dead because here's the thing:

I think that they had to be because here's the thing Whitney, Brad said he knows that 500 just in Florida . . . like - we can't find them! Where are they?

46:57

. . . I saw thousands of little girls . . .

My experience? You have to have a real human connection to talk about trauma with someone. Or have just recently gone through a traumatic experience again.

That's sickening...

From what I understand, sulfuric acid is used for maintaining PH in Reverse Osmosis water systems, but that's way more than would be needed, right? I get it's an island, so they are buying in bull, but even so...

[-] TropicalDingdong@lemmy.world 81 points 1 month ago

They also had several pools/ jacuzzi. It was basically a small resort. Buying a couple of month supply when you are on an island and everything has to be brought in by boat, not really surprising at all, especially not when you put in the context of the rest of the buying they were doing. Even basic pool contractors buy at those levels.

Also, they had an entire ocean to dump bodies into and an entire island under their control to bury them. Acid digestion seems superfluous.

The picture is deceiving.

330 gallons isn't that much, like 8 of these:

[-] Jarix@lemmy.world 17 points 1 month ago* (last edited 1 month ago)

6 of them. Those are 55 gallons. Exactly 6 of them

[-] fizzle@quokk.au 2 points 1 month ago

Oh yeah. I think it even says 205 litres which is close to 55 gallons.

I thought I remembered people talking about "40 gallon drums". Maybe there's a smaller variant.

Wasn’t it used for a water filter system?

Or at least that was the excuse.

[-] unphazed@lemmy.world 17 points 1 month ago

I kinda go with Occams Razor on this one. Homes in the Virgin Islands buy similar materials for their water reservoirs. The Diddler Island probably had higher requirements based on use. Besides, asshole was so rich that it would have been just as easy to tie bodies to weights and drop them in the Atlantic somewhere with his multitude of boats. Yeah, it's morbid, but it is more plausible.

Source: Snopes. Verdict: True but “probably” just for routine maintenance on Pedo Island.

I mean. The thought that he’s be such a man to kill young girls and dispose of their bodies - no one could be that horrible!

I keep seeing this but no bates number or document references?

I have found documents about buying barrels but not the contents?

Right good question. The "EFTA numbers" are really called Bates numbers, you put them on each page in a document.

The first bates number is the filename and the number on the first page in a document then each page is numberd sequentially.

https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Bates_numbering

You can read about it here in the case of the Epstein files. https://www.justice.gov/opa/media/1426091/dl

EFTA stands for "Epstein Files Transparency Act"

in some instances, these documents contain previously applied Bates numbers. Those Bates numbers do not reflect whether an item is responsive under the Act. Only those documents that include a Bates number with "EFTA" in its designation are those that are responsive under the Act.

Sometimes I feel the old blogger in me wanting to write and explain how the zip files are structured. Then I remember no one read my blog, and I deleted it in 2014...

[-] Dearth@lemmy.world 10 points 1 month ago

On an island in shark infested waters, far from prying eyes, the best way to dispose of bodies is obviously dissolving them in acid and not dropping them in the ocean

[-] cows_are_underrated@feddit.org 2 points 1 month ago

Sulfuric acid is much more reliable than dropping someone in the ocean hoping they dont get found

[-] Dearth@lemmy.world 1 points 1 month ago

It's not like they were trafficking the children of the rich and powerful. And they did need to provide fresh water to everyone on the island. It's simpler and cheaper to butcher a body into the ocean than to import chemicals to dissolve them

[-] Cellari@lemmy.world 6 points 1 month ago

Sounds like there were a lot of bodies to melt

[-] andybytes@programming.dev 5 points 1 month ago

this sounds like capitalism... checks out.

[-] MrSulu@lemmy.ml 2 points 1 month ago

In any other system, that would be the same as a "smoking gun"

[-] Jarix@lemmy.world 10 points 1 month ago* (last edited 1 month ago)

This has been posted already. It's not new information.

330 isn't much. It's 6 barrels. That's possible just a standard shipping amount.

Sulfuric acid is used in the reverse osmosis water system on his pedo island.

This is a nothing burger. Sulfuric acid is not an ideal chemical anyway for disposal of flesh, but it will eventually get the job done.

This is what I learned the first time in saw this posted, not my own conclusions btw

We 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, and who knows even his regime or the empire.
