A portal processes the millions of PDF files in the Epstein case. This means that correspondence can be searched and read like in the inbox of an email inbox.

A further collection of files from the investigations against sex offender Jeffrey Epstein has been available for a few days. The US Department of Justice offers a website with a huge collection of documents, but the mass of PDF data is difficult to understand.
This is now over. Software developers Luke Igel and Riley Walz from California compiled the Epstein files in their own way. Together with friends from the tech world, they built the site www.jmail.world. There they disclose all Epstein emails, accessible to everyone.
The page looks like a mailbox from the provider Gmail. And it reads like that too. Just like in a normal mailbox, you can view emails and search for senders, keywords or contacts – from Ehud Barak to Elon Musk to Valeria Chomski, the wife of the renowned US linguist with whom Epstein exchanged men’s jokes, but also advice on a media strategy.

Walz and Igel are both active in the tech world. Igel developed a video AI. He told Wired magazine about his motivation in the Epstein case: “The published documents were just so difficult to read.” And further: “You felt like the shock would have been much greater if you had seen screenshots of the actual inbox, but instead all you saw were these low-quality, poorly scanned PDFs. You have to imagine that this is actually a real email.”

“What is your boy Donald doing now?”
The two of them built an entire digital Epstein archive. Like a Gmail inbox, it is easy to see with whom Epstein exchanged the most emails until his death in 2019. It was his brother Mark, including the worried question: “What is your boy Donald doing now?”
In addition, the two Epsteins prepared flight bookings for his friends and acquaintances. Likewise the Spotifyy list. And according to their own statements, they did so without much effort. “It only took us a few hours,” says Igel.
However, one circumstance remains with the fictitious Epstein email box: areas that have been made unrecognizable remain blacked out.
The recent wave of releases of the Epstein files had led to a number of resignations. In France, the former socialist culture minister Jack Lang resigned from all public offices because of his business connections with Epstein; in Great Britain, advisor Peter Mandelson left the House of Lords and the Labor Party. Nevertheless, Social Democratic Prime Minister Keir Starmer is wavering because he trusted Mandelson for too long. In Norway, the royal family is being criticized because Crown Princess Mette-Marit exchanged ideas with Epstein.
In an interview with t-online, former Foreign Minister Annalena Baerbock spoke of “power elites who protect each other with regard to criminal child abuse and who are at the same time central actors in the entire unregulated digital world of platforms and artificial intelligence”. Baerbock continues: “In addition to essential education and victim protection, all those who have previously dismissed the commitment to women’s rights as a nonsense should now urgently question themselves.”
