Over the weekend, reports started circulating about one of the prison guards who was on duty the night that Jeffrey Epstein died. <\/span><\/p>\n The reports mention strange Google searches and mysterious cash deposits. So I decided to look into it. The DOJ, of course, released a batch of Epstein files a few weeks ago, but as a practical matter, it was impossible for anyone to go through all of the files in a timely fashion. There\u2019s a lot of information to go over, and as a result, some very important stuff was missed.<\/span><\/p>\n Today we\u2019re going to go through some of that information, and what it means. Most of the revelations concern this security guard who was assigned to guard Epstein, and who was later charged in federal court for falsifying her logs.<\/span><\/p>\n NEW BOMBSHELL\ud83d\udea8: One of Jeffrey Epstein\u2019s prison guards, Tova Noel, Googled \u201clatest on Epstein in jail\u201d TWICE at 5:42 a.m. and 5:52 a.m. \u2014 just ~40 minutes before he was found hanged dead in his cell at 6:30 a.m. on Aug. 10, 2019.<\/p>\n Plus: She made a mysterious $5,000 cash deposit\u2026 pic.twitter.com\/YigcCAQbRX<\/a><\/p>\n \u2014 Officer Lew (@officer_Lew) March 8, 2026<\/a><\/p>\n<\/blockquote>\n Source: @officer_Lew\/X.com<\/p>\n As we talk about all of this, we\u2019re going to be thorough, and we\u2019re going to include all of the relevant context and document ID\u2019s and everything else. That\u2019s not simply because the new revelations are genuinely important and disturbing \u2014 although they absolutely are. It\u2019s also because, whatever you may personally think of the Epstein Files, this is a legitimately important political issue. It\u2019s probably the one news event of the past year that has broken containment and made it onto the radar of almost every normal person in the country. Even if the Iran War hasn\u2019t done that, at least not to this point. So if you care about who controls the U.S. government \u2014 and you should \u2014 then this story simply can\u2019t be ignored.<\/span><\/p>\n We\u2019ll start with a very conspicuous subpoena that was issued to 4Chan, the social media site. In case you\u2019re not familiar with it, 4Chan is basically a \u201cfree fire zone\u201d \u2014 it\u2019s a forum for memes, commentary, pranks, et cetera. To give one example of 4Chan\u2019s influence \u2014 you might remember that, a few years ago, Leftists were freaking out about the \u201cOK\u201d hand sign, saying it was a secret symbol of white supremacy. A lot of people got fired over it. In reality, it was a 4Chan hoax. 4Chan users <\/span>deliberately<\/span><\/a> set out to convince the media that Nazis were using the \u201cOK\u201d hand sign, and the media took the bait.<\/span><\/p>\n Put another way, 4Chan generally isn\u2019t taken seriously as a credible source of information. A lot of content on 4Chan is trolling or intentionally deceptive. But just days after Jeffrey Epstein was reportedly found dead in his prison cell, the federal government began taking 4Chan extremely seriously. In particular, the Southern District of New York \u2014 probably the most high-powered U.S. attorney\u2019s office in the country \u2014 obtained a grand jury subpoena, seeking information from 4Chan.<\/span><\/p>\n And the site complied. This is from the Epstein Files, document \u201c133350.\u201d: \u201cPursuant to a Federal Grand Jury subpoena served by the Southern District of New York, 4Chan provided the attached response, dated August 14, 2019.\u201d<\/span><\/p>\n And here\u2019s the information that 4Chan provided:<\/span>\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n 4Chan<\/p>\n<\/div>\n As you can see, there are some IP addresses that were blacked out. There are identities (or at least, the virtual identities) of the people who made various 4Chan posts on the morning of August 10th of 2019 \u2014 the date Epstein died \u2014 which are also blacked out. And there\u2019s also the text of one of those posts, which the federal government was particularly interested in.<\/span><\/p>\n Here\u2019s what the post says: <\/span><\/p>\n Not saying anything after this pls do not try to dox me but last night after 0415 count they took him medical in a wheelchair front cuffed but not 1 triage nurse says they spoke to him. Next thing we know a trip van shows up? We do not do releases on the weekends unless a judge orders it. Next thing we know, he\u2019s put in a single man cell and hangs himself? Heres the thing, the trip van did NOT sign in and we did not record the plate number and a guy in a green dress military outfit was in the back of the van according to the tower guy who let him thru the gate. You guys i am shaking right now but i think they switched him out.<\/span><\/em><\/p>\n<\/blockquote>\n By itself, this post isn\u2019t particularly credible. Anyone could have written it. But the fact that the Southern District of New York then demanded more information about the person who wrote this post \u2014 by itself \u2014 raises a lot of questions.<\/span><\/p>\n Again, 4Chan is littered with nonsense posts and all kinds of outlandish claims. The Southern District of New York obviously doesn\u2019t subpoena every single one of them. But they took an interest in this post \u2014 possibly because they recognized that there might be some truth to it. And they wanted to know who exactly wrote it. On August 14th, 4Chan told the government what it knew. (Other organizations, including AT&T, were apparently subpoenaed for the same purpose, relating to this post.)<\/span><\/p>\n Online, various people have speculated that indeed, a prison guard wrote this post. We don\u2019t have proof of that at the moment \u2014 nor do we know which guard might have written it. But on August 19th, an Assistant United States Attorney in the Southern District of New York sent the following email to a redacted individual.<\/span><\/p>\n 4Chan\/Email Southern District of New York<\/p>\n<\/div>\n It reads, \u201cHere are the subpoena returns we\u2019ve received. Don\u2019t worry about the 4chan records or the subpoenas related to IP information.\u201d<\/span><\/p>\n It\u2019s not clear why exactly the AUSA would say that. Maybe they decided not to follow up on the 4Chan lead after all. Or maybe they wanted to end the investigation for some other reason. We have no idea. But lurking in this same Epstein file dump \u2014 the one that was released a few weeks ago \u2014 you\u2019ll find the following information about what Epstein\u2019s guards were doing on the night he reportedly died.<\/span><\/p>\n 4Chan\/Email Southern District of New York<\/p>\n<\/div>\n \u00a0<\/p>\n This was first uncovered by the New York Post. It\u2019s a readout of the activity on the computer of 37-year-old Tova Noel, who was one of the two Metropolitan Correctional Center workers who was accused of falsifying records to indicate that they had done their rounds on the day Epstein died \u2014 when in fact they had not. As you can see, there\u2019s a bunch of Google searches about furniture, and law enforcement discounts, and federal government jobs. <\/span><\/p>\n She also ran a Google search for \u201cepp\u201d at 4:31 AM, as well as a search for \u201cunum insurance\u201d at 4:36 AM. <\/span>Unum insurance mainly sells disability and life insurance.<\/span><\/p>\n Then, at 5:42 am, according to these records, Tova Noel searched Google for the phrase, \u201clatest on Epstein in jail.\u201d <\/span><\/p>\n Then, less than a minute later, she searched Google for \u201clatest on Omar Amanat\u201d \u2014 an entrepreneur who was sentenced to federal prison for conspiracy in the Southern District of New York, likely in the same facility. <\/span><\/p>\n At 5:52 a.m., Tova Noel was back to searching about Epstein.<\/span><\/p>\n 4Chan\/Email Southern District of New York<\/p>\n<\/div>\n Once again, she asked Google for, \u201clatest on Epstein in jail.\u201d The timing of that last search is significant because it\u2019s less than 40 minutes before Tova Noel\u2019s colleague, a correctional officer named Michael Thomas, found Epstein dead in his cell. (Thomas had also been on Google, but he was mostly searching about motorcycles, and didn\u2019t search for anything about Epstein).<\/span><\/p>\n In 2021, Noel denied running the Google searches. Here\u2019s what she said in a sworn statement to the DOJ: \u201cI don\u2019t remember doing that \u2026 I don\u2019t recall looking him up.\u201d<\/span><\/p>\n Of course, it\u2019s possible this is coincidental. Maybe she was just Googling names of high-profile inmates that she\u2019s supervising, to learn more about them. And maybe it was just a way of passing the time, so she didn\u2019t even remember doing it. But it seems strange, to me anyway, that she searched for \u201clatest on Epstein in jail,\u201d rather than \u201clatest on Epstein\u201d or \u201cinformation on Epstein\u201d or something like that. I can see why she would want to find news on Epstein himself, if she was curious about who he was and why he was in jail. But why did she want news on Epstein in jail? That seems pretty weird.<\/span><\/p>\n And things get a little more difficult to explain when you look at this FBI 302, which is a document that the FBI prepares after an interview, where they recap what they heard.<\/span><\/p>\n FBI 302 document<\/p>\n<\/div>\n It\u2019s a handwritten, 5-page report from the FBI, in which the agency interviews an inmate at the same facility where Epstein died. The interview was conducted two weeks after Epstein died.<\/p>\n According to the 302, which was first reported by reporter Julie Brown (the Miami Herald reporter who helped break open the Epstein story), the inmate says he overheard a prison guard (and others) talking about covering up Epstein\u2019s death. In particular, the inmate claims he heard an officer say, \u201cDudes, you killed that dude,\u201d and then a female guard states, \u201cIf he is dead, we\u2019re going to cover it up and he\u2019s going to have an alibi \u2014 my officers.\u201d The inmate also said that, in the prison, other inmates would say that \u201cMiss Noel killed Jeffrey.\u201d<\/span><\/p>\n Keep in mind, this was months before Noel was charged with falsifying records in Epstein\u2019s case. That didn\u2019t happen until November. So, for whatever reason, Tova Noel \u2014 not her colleague, who was guarding the same cell \u2014 was attracting attention from the inmates.<\/span><\/p>\n Source: Associated Press<\/p>\n<\/div>\n Again, you can write all of this off as a coincidence. Maybe Tova Noel is just a lazy and unethical guard who was very curious about Epstein right before he died, and maybe the inmates are just making things up. That\u2019s entirely possible, under the circumstances. Inmates are criminals and criminals are liars. Many of them are pathological liars. But it gets a little more tenuous when you look at Noel\u2019s Chase bank records, which are also included in the Epstein file dump that was released a few weeks ago.<\/span><\/p>\n Epstein Files<\/p>\n<\/div>\n It turns out that Noel had begun depositing thousands of dollars in her Chase account in the weeks leading up to Epstein\u2019s death. Of course, without context, that doesn\u2019t sound suspicious at all. There\u2019s plenty of reasons why someone might deposit thousands of dollars in an account. Without context, we have no idea.<\/span><\/p>\n But banks, for the most part, do have that context. They know how much this woman typically deposits in her account and where it comes from. And they have all kinds of sophisticated systems that can determine whether transactions could be related to money laundering or fraud.<\/span><\/p>\n They can detect when people are trying to avoid mandatory disclosures to the IRS by spreading out a large deposit across several small payments. And with all of that information in mind, Chase bank decided that Noel\u2019s deposits were suspicious enough to report to the federal government.<\/span><\/p>\n This is from the DOJ, and it was first flagged by the Post.<\/span><\/p>\n Here\u2019s how they <\/span>report on the findings<\/span><\/a>.<\/span><\/p>\n Chase Bank flagged cash deposits in Noel\u2019s bank account in a \u201csuspicious activity report\u201d to the FBI in November 2019, another file from the DOJ revealed. A total of 12 deposits began in April 2018, the bank said, and culminated in the largest deposit, for $5,000, on July 30, 2019, the records showed. \u2026 The files only contain Noel\u2019s bank records beginning in December 2018. They show seven cash deposits totaling $11,880. Noel started working at the Special Housing Unit \u2014 where Epstein had been held \u2014 beginning on July 7, 2019, just weeks before his death. Noel, who drove a $62,000 2019 Land Rover Range Rover, wasn\u2019t asked about the cash during her DOJ interview, records showed.<\/span><\/em><\/p>\n<\/blockquote>\n Those unusual deposits totaled over $10,000, but no individual deposit was over $10,000. That\u2019s often a tactic that criminals will use in an attempt to stay under the $10,000 mandatory disclosure limit, which is why banks usually flag these transactions.<\/span><\/p>\n Does this mean that the prison guard is a criminal? No, it doesn\u2019t. <\/span><\/p>\n The DOJ never charged Tova Noel with fraud or conspiracy or money laundering or anything else. And the DOJ also dropped the charges against her for falsifying records. If you\u2019re the cynical type, you might conclude that she\u2019s being protected. It\u2019s also perfectly possible that she\u2019s innocent of any wrongdoing, aside from being an incompetent prison guard. We don\u2019t know.<\/span><\/p>\n Even so, if you tend to take things at face value, here\u2019s where things stand: The prison guard who lied about checking on Epstein every 30 minutes (which is her job) also coincidentally received a series of deposits in the weeks prior to Epstein\u2019s death, which were so unusual that her bank reported them to the authorities. Additionally, this guard was coincidentally named by inmates as someone who may have been involved in killing Epstein (or covering up his whereabouts). And on top of that, the guard was coincidentally searching Google for information about Epstein less than an hour before his body was discovered. Oh, and while all of this was going on, two cameras in front of Epstein\u2019s cell coincidentally <\/span>happened to malfunctio<\/span><\/a>n, while another camera had footage that was \u201cunusable.\u201d And although Epstein had been placed on suicide watch in July, he was coincidentally <\/span>taken off<\/span><\/a> suicide watch shortly before his death, after a \u201chigh-level psychologist\u201d stepped in and gave him the all-clear.<\/span><\/p>\n I\u2019m not being sarcastic when I say that, indeed, this could be a string of coincidences. Unusual events happen all the time. Sometimes multiple unusual events happen at the same time. But this is A LOT of coincidence piled on top of each other. We have a bit of a Jenga tower of coincidence at this point. So, based on the facts that have been presented, we\u2019re entitled to know some additional information. First of all, the DOJ needs to tell us the identity of that 4Chan poster. We need to know who exactly was talking about \u201cSwapping out\u201d Jeffrey Epstein, the night he died. At a minimum, we need to know whether it was one of the guards \u2014 and if so, which one. And we also need to know why the Southern District of New York stopped looking into the 4Chan post, as soon as the subpoena came back.<\/span><\/p>\n We also need to learn who sent those deposits to Tova Noel, and what action the government took (if any) after receiving the alert from Chase. Why exactly did Chase flag the transactions as suspicious? And how many other times did Tova Noel search Google for information about Jeffrey Epstein? Did she only start searching for information about him on the night he died?<\/span><\/p>\n None of this information should be hidden from the public. But the federal government, by dropping the criminal case against Tova Noel, ensured that the information would be extremely difficult to obtain. So the official narrative is all we can get. We\u2019re left to speculate how Jeffrey Epstein could have fractured multiple bones and started hemorrhaging from his eyes while hanging himself, which is \u201cextremely unusual,\u201d as the physician hired by Epstein\u2019s estate put it.<\/span><\/p>\n There\u2019s one other element of these files that\u2019s worth talking about for a moment. That\u2019s the alleged revelation that, in these files, Trump was <\/span>accused<\/span><\/a> of \u2018hitting a schoolgirl who refused to carry out sex act on him,\u2019 as the Daily Mail put it.<\/span><\/p>\n\n
