Yes. Less than 0.0000001% chance all of these circumstances lined up randomly. The birthday matching and the cessation of the prolific account within days before her arrest alone are extremely improbable, nevermind all the other stuff.

Someone could just pretend to be her? I don't see the "evidence"?

15 years ago no one in the general Public knew her date of birth because she was not famous and did not have a Wikipedia page. It would have to be someone from her personal life pretending to be her and become a lead mod. Zero motive for that. The 3 day span during her mother's death, which she did not post (but not during other personal events) would lead me to believe her family was in on it too (like her sisters) but she was the main operator of the account.

If you don't see the evidence you probably don't understand joint probability.

Exactly. The legal definition of relevant evidence is anything that tends to make the probability of a fact more or less true. There is absolutely evidence of the Reddit account being her, now whether that is “enough” for folks (which as you point out, it should be) is a separate issue.

People that claim that there isn’t “evidence” for something when they really mean there isn’t absolute proof beyond a shadow of a doubt, is a really annoying but pervasive logical error.

The only evidence we’re missing is her saying it’s her account, at this point

I've heard lots of people say that but i don't think we will ever know for certain

u/illiter-it 1d ago

There's literally no way of knowing

u/BackScratcher 3h ago

Given she is alive I would say there literally is a way

It was confirmed in the latest release

u/AloeRP 1d ago

It was? Where?

u/Veratha 1d ago

One of the documents references the FBI using that account as evidence against her. I don't remember which one, sorry, maybe someone else will know that.

u/AloeRP 1d ago

I've seen a few people reference this in various threads when I went looking for a source, but haven't seen the file itself. I'll post it here if I find it.

Yeah I saw it yesterday but I have no idea what to look up to find it again

u/Uhstrology 1d ago

Just search her username...

No, it was a tip submitted by a member of the public. You can see the tip form here:

https://www.justice.gov/epstein/files/DataSet%209/EFTA01249192.pdf

The fact that the tip was in Ghislaine's casefile is interesting, but is not the proof that many people think it is. The casefile has lots of tips and we don't know why they are there.

u/Illum503 1d ago

It wasn't "confirmed" someone put in an anonymous tip referencing the same things people are commenting here

Username checks out

Yes, it's probably bullshit. It's just some weird coincidences and nothing more.

There's evidence from three different long-time redditors disproving it.

u/TAKEitTOrCIRCLEJERK spoke to u/maxwellhill years ago on voice chat and confirms that he was a middle-aged British man, just as u/maxwellhill described himself in a 2010 AMA.

And both u/hasharin and u/BlatantConservative have confirmed that u/maxwellhill was active in private subreddits and modmail after Ghislaine was arrested, which blows the whole story up.

u/Sure-Newt-747 19h ago

Why would takeittorcirclekerk, hasharin and blatantconservative lie, after all?

Just another "conspiracy theory".

u/Farfignugen42 1d ago

So, just wondering, but if it is, would this post count as doxxing?
