  • Good question. I am not a lawyer, but federal obstruction of justice laws are ridiculously overpowered. Didn’t they get Martha Stewart on lying to the feds about insider trading, but couldn’t manage to actually convict her for insider trading?

    Here’s the law, and the relevant section:

    Destruction or Removal of Property To Prevent Seizure.-Whoever, before, during, or after any search for or seizure of property by any person authorized to make such search or seizure, knowingly destroys, damages, wastes, disposes of, transfers, or otherwise takes any action, or knowingly attempts to destroy, damage, waste, dispose of, transfer, or otherwise take any action, for the purpose of preventing or impairing the Government’s lawful authority to take such property into its custody or control or to continue holding such property under its lawful custody and control, shall be fined under this title or imprisoned not more than 5 years, or both.

    So if they knew they were being investigated, they might be fucked, even if they were engaging in routine op-sec and not only didn’t delete anything incriminating but didn’t participate in any (real or imagined) crimes?








  • Huh.

    Maxwell and Borgenson first met in 2013 at the Arctic Circle Assembly in Reykjavik. They were married in 2016 and kept the marriage a secret from the public and even Maxwell’s family for some time until it was revealed publicly in 2020, when Borgenson tried to free Maxwell from custody by paying $28.5 million in bail, according to court papers.

    The only mention of Borgenson in Epstein’s emails isn’t actually from Epstein’s emails. (The “to” and “from” are blank and the date is after Jeff’s death; it’s from a law enforcement document.) :

    Maxwell’s boyfriend, Scott Borgenson, lives in Manchester By the Sea, MA, we spoke with the PD and they were in contact with him earlier in August. Maxwell was with him but left after all the media scrutiny. The PD has a good relationship with him. We are tracking a cell phone we believe belongs to Maxwell, we just subpoena’ d for subscriber info., I will keep you posted.
