# Epstein Files: Active Links and Redaction Failures the DOJ Missed


**Published:** February 1, 2026

**Author:** DugganUSA Threat Intelligence




TL;DR



After indexing 44,886 documents from the DOJ's Epstein files release, we found active URLs that still work, exposed PII the redactors missed, and financial account details that should have been scrubbed. The DOJ released 3 million pages assuming nobody would read them all. They got sloppy.




Confirmed Live URLs



**Maxwell's Instagram Bio Link - STILL ACTIVE**


Document EFTA00038327 contains Maxwell's Instagram profile with bio link: bit.ly/oceanpassport


We tested it. The shortlink still redirects to theterramarproject.org/pledge (the page returns 404, but the redirect chain is active and the domain is still on Cloudflare).


**Rusty Shackleford YouTube Channel - FULLY OPERATIONAL**


Document EFTA00037881 references YouTube videos from "Rusty Shackleford" showing Epstein's island BEFORE the FBI raid. The channel is still live at youtube.com/channel/UCGF4cH9t6SgF5e40ELMbDjg


More importantly, the FBI/NYPD email chain discusses a "missing computer" - visible on video before the raid, gone afterward. The specific video (youtube.com/watch?v=tBkmhnUJZPY) is still accessible.


**Google Drive "Suicide Video" Link**


Document EFTA00028839 references a Google Drive link to a "purported video of Epstein's suicide" - returns HTTP 302 redirect, suggesting the link may still be active.




Redaction Failures - PII Exposed



**Epstein's Social Security Number**


Document EFTA00022528 (Deutsche Bank subpoena) contains Epstein's SSN: 090-44-3348


We reported this previously, but it bears repeating: a document that went through DOJ review still contains a full SSN.


**Reporter Contact Information**


EFTA00015399 exposes New York Times reporter Danielle Ivory's contact info:

- Office: 212-556-1596

- Cell: 917-280-2607

- Fax: 646-349-XXXX


EFTA00023422 shows her Signal encrypted chat number.


**Attorney Signal Numbers**


EFTA00037066 and EFTA00037067 expose James R. Marsh of Marsh Law Firm PLLC with his direct dial and Signal Messenger contact visible.


**DocuSign Envelope IDs**


Multiple documents contain full DocuSign envelope IDs (e.g., C9C42BF8-7BCA-4108-A29F-423F14801014) which could potentially be used to access or reference signed documents.




Financial Account Exposure



**Maxwell Wire Authorization**


EFTA00022364 and EFTA00022365 contain Maxwell's authorization letter for a $2,500,000 wire transfer from her UBS account, addressed to Scott Stackman at UBS Private Wealth Management.


**Maxwell Account Summary**


EFTA00020367 and EFTA00020368 list Maxwell's accounts as of June 30, 2020:

- USAA Federal Savings Bank (joint with Scott Borgerson)

- UBS Financial Services (personal)

- UBS Financial Services (Terramar Project, Inc.) - Balance: $26.43

- UBS Financial Services (Max Foundation)


**Grand Jury Bank Subpoenas**


The files contain Grand Jury subpoenas to Wells Fargo (EFTA00027184), TD Bank (EFTA00027194), and Bank of America (EFTA00027219) with account reference details visible.


**JPMorgan Exhibits**


JPM-SDNY-00002407 and related exhibits contain account numbers marked "Confidential Treatment Requested" - but they're in the public release.




Intelligence Artifacts



**FBI API Endpoint**


EFTA00020474 contains a reference to api.fbi.gov with geolocation data showing access from Stockholm, Sweden (Saltsjoe-Boo, postal code 132 48).


**Epstein Island Operational Travel Plan**


EFTA00037440 references an attachment called "Epstein_Island_Operational_Travel_Plan.docx" - an FBI operational document for the island raid.


**2024 FBI Tip**


EFTA00038673 shows an October 2024 FBI National Threat Operations Center (NTOC) tip about an "Additional Potential Victim" - meaning the FBI is still receiving tips years after the case closed.




By the Numbers



- 380 documents reference twitter.com

- 151 documents reference youtube.com

- 706 documents reference FOIA requests

- 1000+ documents contain phone/contact information

- 1000+ documents reference flight manifests

- 1000+ documents reference USVI government




Why This Matters



Government document releases are supposed to go through rigorous redaction review. These files show:


1. Active URLs that still resolve

2. Full SSNs in bank documents

3. Reporter and attorney contact info including encrypted messaging handles

4. Financial account details that should be confidential

5. Operational FBI documents with internal references


The DOJ released 3 million pages expecting the volume would bury the stories. Pattern recognition at scale changes that equation.
