Reason there is not any ‘Epstein shopper record’ in newly-released batch of 300,000 recordsdata

The Department of Justice released the files after hitting the December 19 deadline to make documents connected to the late child sex trafficker public

The shadowy world of Jeffrey Epstein has been laid bare following the release of a massive cache of 300,000 documents but there is no alleged “client list” amongst the papers.

The Department of Justice unveiled the files after meeting the December 19 deadline to publish documents linked to the late child sex trafficker.

The papers represent the most recent batch shedding light on Epstein’s connections to influential figures within the global elite.

A gradual release of documents in recent months has revealed numerous emails exchanged between Epstein and his associates, alongside grovelling messages of backing from his inner circle.

Yet none of the released materials have contained an alleged client list, despite this concept gaining momentum online amongst conspiracy theorists, reports the Mirror.

Both politicians and fringe conspiracy advocates suggested Epstein maintained an extensive roster of names linking the billionaire, who died in 2019, to entertainers, political figures and others to whom he would supply his victims.

However, no specific catalogue of alleged clients has emerged, with the documents instead containing various other papers that reference individuals Epstein communicated with.

The supposed list gained online traction after a document naming various global personalities and celebrities circulated across social media platforms.

A Facebook post from last year featured 166 individuals, including former presidents, celebrities and other notable figures amongst those named. A similar list was subsequently shared in an Instagram post. There is however no evidence to suggest these lists are genuine.

However, there are numerous documents that do mention various individuals, including many who have not been implicated in any wrongdoing, such as flight logs and email correspondences.

Perhaps the most notorious of these documents is the Epstein flight log, which recorded visitors to the billionaire’s island, Little St James, and those who utilised his private jet.

Approximately 90 flights associated with Epstein were identified as having arrived or departed from UK airports. Flight logs viewed by the BBC also disclosed that three British women, who alleged they were trafficked by him, were passengers on these flights.
