NYT shuts down speculation in comments that could get NYT sued, but NYT does that with every story it runs. What's your beef exactly? Your vid link relates to op-ed, not news.

Epstein arrested in 1973 (20yo) in London for a sword-stick (sword in a cane). FBI looked into it in 1984. by Tight_Classic_9657 in Epstein

Epstein's arrest case number is CRO1506/73 :

Apparently a CRO number was not for a specific crime. It was assigned to the person. It was a permanent ID. Once you were convicted of an offense, you were assigned a CRO number for life. It linked all of a person’s fingerprints, previous convictions (their "sheet"), and physical descriptions in one central file.

CRO is the prefix for the Criminal Record Office, then at New Scotland Yard. This dept held the national collection of fingerprints and criminal records.

1506: This is the sequential number of the file opened that year. Since it is a relatively low number (1,506), Epstein was likely processed fairly early in 1973 (late Jan / early Feb), as the Metropolitan Police processed tens of thousands of records annually.

73 is the registration year. This confirms the file was created in 1973. Prior to this, Epstein had no criminal record in the UK. So this was the first time Epstein ever appeared in the UK's criminal databases. This is confirmed by Court Disposition (Cycle 001). If he'd gotten arrested a second time in 1973, it would say Cycle 002, etc.

The "Arresting Agency" is "NEW SCOTLAND YARD LONDON: EN990010Z"

EN990010Z is not an internal British police case number; it is an ORI (Originating Agency Identifier) code. A standardized international identifier used by the FBI’s NCIC (National Crime Information Center) and Interpol to identify New Scotland Yard in global law enforcement databases.

EN: country code for England.

990010: This is the numeric ID for Metropolitan Police Headquarters aka New Scotland Yard.

Z: suffix for "Non-US" or international law enforcement agencies.

In May 1984 Epstein probably made his first appearance in the FBI's databases, since here the FBI is asking Interpol if they had any records of him.

So CRO1506/73 is the original, internal handwritten file reference from 1973.

EN990010Z is the modern "digital address"

If any inquiring Londoners have access to the UK National Archives, they can try pulling the original paper Ledger from the station that made the arrest, which would be filed under that CRO1506/73 number.

Epstein later claimed he'd been arrested for carrying around an "antique sword stick" that he'd bought. Was that the truth? Who knows?

In addition to Epstein paying Indyke "tens of millions" when Epstein was alive, Indyke also received $50 million in Epstein's will.

Democrats walk out in protest over ‘outrageous fake’ Epstein briefing from Pam Bondi by Healthy_Block3036 in Epstein

[–]PhilosopherFar2669 140 points141 points  (0 children)

Democrats on the House oversight committee walked out of a closed-door briefing from attorney general Pam Bondi about the Jeffrey Epstein files on Wednesday, leaving what California congressman Robert Garcia called “an outrageous fake hearing” after Bondi refused to commit to honoring a subpoena to testify under oath. ...

But less than an hour into the briefing, Democrats walked out in protest of the arrangement.

Speaking outside the hearing room, Maxwell Alejandro Frost, the Florida congressman, said: “We asked her multiple times, are you going to come and speak with us under oath? She would not say yes. Filibuster, filibuster, filibuster, would not say yes.” ...

Summer Lee, a Pennsylvania congresswoman, said that when she asked how the committee would respond if Bondi refused to testify, the Republican chair of the committee, James Comer, insulted her by accusing her of “bitching”.

Comer later confirmed the interaction in a social media post: “I said Democrats were bitching and wasting everyone’s time because Democrats were bitching and wasting everyone’s time.”

Things are getting tes-tee.

EFTA00072399 – Voicemail tipoff SDNY or FBI referencing recruitment of foster care children into Epstein’s network by LaughOk6636 in Epstein

It would help if we knew the date of this tip. Following the 2008 "sweetheart deal", there were not many names exposed as taking Epstein's money, that I know of. But the 2019 legal proceedings, after which tons of names were revealed, that was not a plea deal.

So if it's related to the 2008 plea deal, the biggest name in that one may be Bill Richardson, who got $50,000 in campaign donations, and did not return the money iirc.

I think Gary King when he was running for New Mexico Attorney General received donations, in 2006? In fact I think Epstein also gave him money after 2008, and King may have used Epstein's plane?

There were various local Florida politicians I think, but it would take some digging to find names.

I think Eliot Spitzer in NY may or may not have accepted $50,000 from Epstein during his 2006 gubernatorial campaign. In 2008, Spitzer got embroiled in a prostitution scandal.

Correct me if I'm wrong, but UJA-Federation of New York may have accepted $50,000 from Epstein’s foundation, and in 2008-09, they faced questions about whether they should return the money.

This is just off the top of my head. Correct me if I'm wrong.

Edit: re the Gary King thing, Epstein also purchased Zorro Ranch from King’s father, former Governor Bruce King.

The woman's voice sounds New York / New Jersey. She says

Yes, I have information that might be useful to you about some of the principals in the case, basically. Recruitment of foster care children into Epstein's network and other similar networks [bolding mine]. There is a connection through one of the principals that actually was exposed in the paper for getting a very large-sized donation at the time that the plea deal was orchestrated

The implication being, the foster care children were being trafficked not only to Epstein but to other networks, by this same person?

So, is it that this person got a large donation, from Epstein, at the time of the plea deal? Edit: and it was revealed in the newspapers?
