About this listen

The Epstein Files is the first AI-native documentary podcast to systematically analyze the Jeffrey Epstein case at scale. With over 3 million pages of DOJ documents, court records, flight logs, and public resources now available, traditional journalism simply cannot process this volume of information. AI can.


This series leverages artificial intelligence at every layer of production. From custom-built architecture that ingests and cross-references millions of pages of evidence, to AI-generated audio that delivers findings in a consistent, accessible format, this project represents a new model for investigative journalism. What would take a newsroom years to analyze, AI can process in days, surfacing connections, patterns, and details that would otherwise remain buried in the sheer volume of data.


Each episode draws directly from primary sources: unsealed court documents, FBI files, the black book, flight logs, victim depositions, and the DOJ's ongoing document releases. The AI architecture identifies relevant passages, cross-references names and dates across thousands of files, and synthesizes findings into episodes that make this information digestible for the public.


The series covers Epstein's mysterious rise to wealth, his network of enablers, the properties where crimes occurred, the 2008 sweetheart deal, his death in federal custody, the Maxwell trial, and the unanswered questions that remain.


This is not sensationalized content. It is documented fact, processed at scale, and presented with journalistic rigor. The goal is simple: make the public record accessible to the public.


New episodes release as additional documents become available, with AI enabling rapid analysis and production that keeps pace with ongoing revelations.


Our Standards

AI enables scale, but journalistic standards guide the output. Every claim is tied to specific documents. The series clearly distinguishes between proven facts and allegations. Victim testimony is handled with dignity. Names that appear in documents are not accused of wrongdoing unless documents support such claims.


This is documented fact, processed at scale, presented for the public.

    Episode 68 - How Does the Jail Hard Drive Go Missing the Day Epstein Dies?
    Feb 10 2026

    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.

  • Episode 67 - Epstein Ordered 330 Gallons of Acid the Day the FBI Came Knocking

    Episode 67 - Epstein Ordered 330 Gallons of Acid the Day the FBI Came Knocking
    Feb 9 2026

    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.

    Episode 66 - Why Epstein Played Xbox and World of Warcraft
    Feb 9 2026

    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.
