Newly released FBI documents reveal what happened to the camera system at the Metropolitan Correctional Center on the day Jeffrey Epstein died. An FBI 302 interview summary dated March 12, 2020 contains a Bureau of Prisons employee's account of the security camera failures and what an FBI agent did with the hard drive that would have contained footage from that night. The camera system was over 20 years old, analog, and frequently malfunctioning. Only one hard drive was working on August 10, 2019. The FBI agent removed the hard drive and advised that replacing both drives would wipe the system. No video from that night has ever been released.

On December 6, 2018, the FBI opened a child sex trafficking case against Jeffrey Epstein. That same day, his U.S. Virgin Islands entity LSJE LLC wired payment for six 55 gallon drums of sulfuric acid to be delivered to Little St. James Island. The wire transfer, document EFTA01223564, shows the order was placed through a chemical supplier and routed through JPMorgan Chase. An internal FBI email from the same date, document EFTA00164551, confirms the Bureau had opened its investigation into Epstein and Ghislaine Maxwell for sex trafficking of minors. This episode examines the timing of these two events and what Epstein may have been preparing to destroy on the island where much of the alleged abuse took place.

This episode examines EFTA email records showing Jeffrey Epstein maintained a World of Warcraft account linked to jeevacation@gmail.com and an Xbox Live account that was permanently banned in December 2013 under a New York Attorney General initiative to remove registered sex offenders from gaming platforms. Activision CEO Bobby Kotick appears nearly 300 times in the Epstein files, including a May 2013 email chain where futurist Pablos Holman proposed "co-opting the existing video game industry" and described himself as "all for indoctrinating kids into an economy." The episode traces the documented thread from Steve Bannon's role at IGE, a company that employed Chinese workers to farm World of Warcraft gold, through Brock Pierce's pivot from virtual gold to cryptocurrency and his introduction of Epstein to crypto, leading to a $3 million Coinbase investment in 2014.

This episode examines a draft press release from the U.S. Attorney's Office dated August 9, 2019 — one day before Jeffrey Epstein was officially found dead at the Metropolitan Correctional Center. The document carries a placeholder release number and omits the phrase "apparent suicide" found in the final version. An FBI 302 describes MCC staff constructing a decoy body from boxes and sheets to divert media. U.S. Attorney Geoffrey Berman, who signed the release, was removed from his position less than a year later.
