On December 20, authorities advanced the release of Epstein investigative files, with the Department of Justice noting it has made every reasonable effort to redact victims’ data, while cautioning that some details may have been inadvertently disclosed. The emphasis on data handling aligns with high-profile investigations and data privacy.
In a letter to Congress, Deputy Attorney General Branch said the review identified 1,200+ victims and families, and that all related names and identity information have been legally removed. The update highlights strict redaction protocols and traceability, a benchmark for regulated sectors, including crypto.
Branch had earlier indicated that hundreds of thousands of documents would be released on the 19th, but full disclosure could take weeks. Market participants should view this as regulatory transparency that informs compliance and risk management expectations for crypto firms, underscoring the need for auditable disclosure practices.
