Jeffrey Epstein appears to have purchased 330 gallons of sulfuric acid for his private island on the same date in 2018 when the FBI reopened investigations into his trafficking charges.

The information has come to light courtesy of the final batch of Epstein files released by the U.S. Department of Justice on January 30.

Though the receipt in the disclosure suggests the pe**phile acquired the chemical to perform aquatic management on his property, netizens believe the date coinciding with law enforcement getting back into action suggests a sinister cause.

  • Jeffrey Epstein reportedly purchased 330 gallons of sulfuric acid on the same day in 2018 the FBI reopened its investigation into his trafficking operation.
  • The timing of the purchase has raised alarm among netizens, with some speculating that the chemical may have been used to destroy evidence.
  • Following the completion of the DOJ’s release of the Epstein files, calls for trials and accountability for those linked to him have intensified.

Sulfuric acid, notably, is a highly corrosive substance that can melt the hardest of metals. That same intensity makes it dangerous for human contact, as exposure can cause severe burns, among other complications.

According to a purchase receipt and several email exchanges in the latest tranche of Epstein files cited by the Daily Mail , Epstein ordered six 55-gallon drums of sulfuric acid for Little Saint James, his private island, on December 6, 2018.

The date aligns with the Southern District of New York (SDNY) launching a renewed federal investigation into Epstein’s trafficking operation, which ultimately led to his arrest in June 2019.
