More than 170 names of Epstein associates to be revealed in 2024, judge orders

Monday’s order suggests that the soon to be named people may be a combination of recruiters, friends and victims of the late financier and sex offender.

The latest update in the ongoing court case against notorious sex offender Jeffrey Epstein’s partner includes a new court order for the naming of more than 170 people linked to the deceased pedophile.

On December 18, Senior U.S. District Judge Loretta Preska of the Southern District of New York issued an order to unseal hundreds of documents that would reveal the identities of individuals who hold various connections to Epstein and had previously remained anonymous. Monday’s order suggests that the soon to be named people may be a combination of recruiters, friends and victims of the late financier and sex offender.

Most documents detailed in the order have been designated as “material [that] should be unsealed in full.” However, some are specified as remaining sealed to protect the identity and privacy of alleged minor victims and victims who have not shared their stories publicly. In such cases, Preska wrote that “the public interest does not outweigh the privacy interests of the alleged victim[s].”

The judge concluded the order by explaining that “the Court stays its order for fourteen days to permit any impacted Doe the opportunity to appeal, after which counsel are asked to confer, prepare the documents for unsealing pursuant to this order, and post the documents on the docket.”

The ruling is the latest installment of a case brought upon Epstein’s longtime partner, Ghislaine Maxwell, by an alleged victim named Virginia Guiffre. While Epstein committed suicide in 2019 awaiting trial in a New York prison for federal sex trafficking charges, Maxwell remains in jail serving a 20-year sentence for her part in Epstein’s pedophile ring.

The extensive allegations of the billionaire’s trafficking of minor girls to what has become widely known as Epstein Island has included suspicion and speculation of the involvement of celebrity and political public figures. Additional updates in the ongoing investigations of the allegations and charges have been revealed throughout recent months.

The case received renewed attention from the public in May, when actor Jim Caviezel promoted the film Sound of Freedom, which is based on the true story of former CIA agent Tim Ballard and his efforts to save children from sex trafficking. He told Steve Bannon in an episode of War Room that he believed the Deep State and mainstream media were collaborating to cover up the extent to which sex trafficking impacts society.

Shortly after, released documents unveiled that Epstein was involved in a money scheme with Bill Gates and others that was attempted after Epstein’s 2008 conviction of harboring a child for prostitution. In September, attorneys argued that the convicted sex offender had been engaged in financial transactions with the bank JP Morgan Chase, which was accused of involvement with Epstein’s funding of his pedophile ring.

Last month, U.S. Sen. Marsha Blackburn of Tennessee issued a subpoena to obtain the flight logs from Epstein’s private jet and JP Morgan Chase was ordered to pay $290 million to the sex offender’s victims, with a federal judge citing allegations that the bank ignored signs of its client’s abuse of young women and girls.

Dark Web Tesla Doxxers Used Widely-Popular Parking App Data To Find Targets, Analysis Shows

A dark web doxxing website targeting Tesla owners and allies of Elon Musk appears to be compiled from hacked data originally stolen from a massive ParkMobile app breach in 2021, according to records obtained by a data privacy group. 

The site, known as DogeQuest, first appeared in March and publishes names, home addresses, contact details and other personal information tied to Tesla drivers and DOGE staff. Marketed as a hub for anti-Musk “creative expressions of protest,” the platform has been linked to real-world vandalism and remains live on the dark web. Federal investigations into DogeQuest are already underway, the New York Post first reported.

“If you’re on the hunt for a Tesla to unleash your artistic flair with a spray can, just step outside — no map needed! At DOGEQUEST, we believe in empowering creative expressions of protest that you can execute from the comfort of your own home,” the surface-web DogeQuest site reads. “DOGEQUEST neither endorses nor condemns any actions.”

ObscureIQ, a data privacy group, compiled a breakdown of the data — obtained by the Daily Caller News Foundation — and determined 98.2% of records used to populate the site matched individuals affected by the 2021 ParkMobile breach.

DogeQuest originally appeared as a surface web doxxing hub, encouraging vandalism of Teslas and displaying names, addresses, contact details and, in some cases, employment information for roughly 1,700 individuals. The site used stolen ParkMobile records along with data purchased from brokers, flagging anyone who had a Tesla listed in their vehicle registration profile, according to ObscureIQ’s analysis.

The platform — now operating as “DogeQuest Unleashed” via a .onion dark web address — has also published personal details of high-value targets including senior military officials, federal employees and private sector executives in Silicon Valley. A spreadsheet reviewed by the Daily Caller News Foundation indicates several individuals targeted work areas like cybersecurity, defense contracting, public health and diplomatic policy. DOGE staff and their families appear prominently throughout the data.

No other reporting has yet tied DogeQuest directly to the ParkMobile breach, which impacted over 21 million users in 2021. The company, which facilitates cashless parking across the U.S., quietly disclosed the breach in April of that year, admitting that “basic user information” had been accessed. ObscureIQ’s research shows that exposed data included email addresses, license plate numbers and phone numbers — enough to triangulate identity when paired with commercial data brokers.

The company agreed to a $32 million settlement to resolve a class-action lawsuit stemming from the data breach. The lawsuit alleged that ParkMobile failed to secure its Amazon Web Services cloud storage, allowing access to the data. Although payment data were reportedly not compromised, plaintiffs argued the exposed information still posed serious privacy risks — a claim now reinforced by its use in the DogeQuest doxxing campaign.

Despite federal attention, the site has proven difficult to keep offline, as the dark web mirror incorporates anonymized hosting methods, frustrating law enforcement takedown efforts.

The Department of Justice charged three suspects last week linked to physical attacks on Tesla vehicles, charging stations and dealerships across multiple states, though it has not publicly confirmed any link between those suspects and DogeQuest. Meanwhile, the FBI has acknowledged it is “actively working” on both the doxxing campaign and a parallel rise in swatting incidents affecting DOGE affiliates.

Europol takes out one of the largest pedophile networks in the world with almost 2 million users

Published on

From LifeSiteNews

By Andreas Wailzer

An international group of police agencies has taken down one of the largest pedophile networks in the world with almost two million users.

Investigators from Bavaria, Germany, announced yesterday that they dismantled an online pedophile platform called “Kidflix” used to distribute child pornography that had around 1.8 million users worldwide. Police carried out raids in 31 countries and arrested 79 people in total.

The European police unit Europol coordinated the operation led by the Bavarian criminal police. Europol announced that around 1,400 suspects have been identified worldwide in “one of the biggest blows against child pornography in recent years, if not ever.”

According to Europol, the platform “Kidflix” was one of the largest pedophile networks in the world. Guido Limmer, deputy head of the Bavarian criminal police, said it was the “largest operation ever” organized by Europol. The platform’s server, with over 70,000 videos at the time, was reportedly shut down by German and Dutch authorities in early March.

The 79 people arrested were not only suspected of having watched or downloaded videos of child sexual abuse but some were also suspected of personally harming children. The police units carried out the raids from March 10 to 23 and reportedly confiscated thousands of electronic devices. In Germany alone, 96 locations were raided. Among the suspects was a 36-year-old man who not only viewed illegal material but also reportedly offered up his young son for sexual abuse. The child was given to child protection services after the man was arrested, the Bavarian police spokesman said.

Limmer also noted that one of the arrested suspects was a “serial” abuser from the United States.

According to Europol, “Kidflix” was set up by cybercriminals in 2021 and became one of the most popular platforms for pedophiles. The international police agency said that the investigation into the network began in 2022.

In October 2024, German police dismantled another large online pedophile network with hundreds of thousands of users, arresting six men associated with the platform.

Last year, Germany’s Federal Criminal Police Office revealed that the cases of sexual abuse against children and adolescents had more than tripled in the past five years.
