1. Snopes: Richard Epstein...

The screenshots circulating online were authentic, but they did not prove that Epstein was alive or living in Colorado in 2021. The language and context indicated that the documents referred to a different man with the same last name who was involved in an unrelated health care fraud investigation. Court records and DOJ news releases from that period showed federal investigators were working with a cooperating witness named Richard Epstein, a Colorado resident.

We contacted the DOJ for clarification on why the July 2021 emails were included in its January 2026 release. We also contacted an attorney included in the correspondence and await replies to our questions.

.....

In sum …

All in all, the July 2021 emails circulating online reference an "Epstein" living in Colorado and discuss scheduling a debrief through counsel. The documents do not identify the person as Jeffrey Epstein. Public records show that federal authorities were working with a man named Richard Epstein, a Colorado resident involved in a health care fraud case. Therefore, the emails do not demonstrate that Jeffrey Epstein was alive in 2021 and the claim remains baseless.

Unless jeff was spirited away and given reconstructive surgery to his face so he can walk freely in public and keep his slave trade running.
