Damn. Reminder that epstein more than likely had boys that he trafficked.

Politics, culture and economics were frequent topics of discussion between the two men. Other messages outlined plans to meet with Mark Zuckerberg, Elon Musk, film director Woody Allen, former Israeli Prime Minister Ehud Barak and former Secretary of State Bill Burns, among others.

The two also met with several CEOs for dinner in Palo Alto in Aug. 2015, which Epstein described as “wild,” including Zuckerberg, Musk, Reid Hoffman ’90, Joi Ito and Ed Boyden Ph.D. ’05.

Yeah... Just don't spend $1000 to assemble a basic fpv drone with an explosive payload. And definitely don't make it capable of using AI to identify and attack targets with facial recognition.

Be the reason local drone laws get changed.

I am genuinely surprised a drone terrorist attack still hasn't happened.

I bet those in espionage already knew this feels less like a leak and more so going public indirectly

Pretty easy to get a boat within 500 yards of the Venetian Isles / Rivo Alto coastline via Biscayne Bay. Just saying.

A trove of internal records from a secret society for powerful figures in US politics, finance, and tech was left exposed online, naming participants in its events and revealing sensitive personal details they were assured would stay private

It goes to show website designers can't follow basic security design protocol even when serving the owner class. We can't correct for general stupidity.

So if I'm getting this right, dialog was founded in 2006 and have had it's member list be a secret up until now, where someone discovered an open directory listed in their website's source code.

I know these are idiot nepo babies, but this isn't exactly some random dude's vibecoded slop website. Am I crazy for thinking this was deliberate?
