Episode notes
Release Lacked Usable Transparency
- The DOJ released a technically searchable dump that lacked usable search, context, and organization, which undermines the Epstein Transparency Act's intent.
- Eric Fudali calls the rollout a document dump designed to hide information rather than provide real transparency.
Survivors Endured Institutional Betrayal
- Survivors repeatedly faced exploitation by institutions and administrations over decades, not just by Epstein.
- Fudali emphasizes survivors' resilience as the driving force behind legislative and disclosure progress.
Convictions vs. Perceived Preferential Treatment
- Ghislaine Maxwell became the only convicted person despite decades of investigations, then received what survivors view as preferential treatment.
- Fudali frames recent DOJ actions as a continuation of patterns that reward enablers rather than serve survivors.
