It sold WarGamer Friday #1

It was probably investigated when Epstein was charged in 2019. Ocelot II Friday #2
My understanding is that the FBI raided all of Epstein's mansions snot Friday #3
IIRC, there was a satellite image of a fairly big smoke trail coming from Epstein's island. Talitha 14 hrs ago #5

pretty much the moment he died (or arrested?), and reportedly took possession of hundreds of videotapes and cd's presumably shot from the cameras that were found in nearly every room. This is why many are frustrated and unconvinced that there's "nothing to see" that might help identify some of the abusers/potential blackmail &/or extortion -ees (and worry that one reason this evidence has continued to be kept secret through two administrations is that someone wants to continue to use them for the same purposes).

See, e.g., https://www.newsweek.com/missing-jeffrey-epstein-tapes-fbi-1857766 and/or google for many more references to evidence allegedly collected by the FBI but for some reason unavailable.

Thought to be destruction of evidence, but maybe it was the new owner getting rid of unwanted stuff left there?
