Botched Epstein redactions trace back to Virgin Islands’ 2020 civil racketeering case against estate

On Friday, the U.S. Justice Department posted the full case docket to its `Epstein Library` webpage, revealing a botched redaction uncovered by social media users on Reddit and TikTok.
A new Epstein-related transparency law prompted publication of hundreds of thousands of documents this past week, and the faulty redaction traces to the Virgin Islands attorney general's office posting the original 2021 court filing.
Among the redacted claims was an allegation Indyke paid a lawyer tied to `one or more forced marriages` with a memo referencing the former Russian model's last name, and that Indyke signed Foundation checks totaling over $400,000 between 2015 and 2019.
The territory previously settled with Jeffrey Epstein's estate for over $105 million and sued alleging defendants fraudulently obtained more than $80 million; CNN reporters reached out to the Virgin Islands attorney general and verified faulty redactions in the filings.
The glitch appears to affect only a tiny number of the hundreds of thousands of documents the Justice Department posted this past week, adding to ongoing redaction headaches.
