CONGRESSIONAL READING ROOM PRIORITY LIST

Ranked by "Predator Name Reveal" Score

Maximizing the number of predator names revealed per document viewed

Date: February 14, 2026 Purpose: Prioritize DOJ reading room time to maximize identification of redacted perpetrators Scoring: REVEAL_SCORE = estimated_redacted_names × crime_severity × novelty_factor
  • crime_severity: 3 = rape/CSAM/child trafficking, 2 = adult trafficking/assault, 1 = financial crime/complicity
  • novelty_factor: 2.0 = name completely unknown, 1.5 = partially identified from context, 1.0 = already identified
  • estimated_redacted_names: Count of likely person-name redactions per document
Reading Room Rules: No electronic devices. Handwritten notes only. Documents organized by EFTA number. Request unredacted versions.

TOP 10: IF CONGRESS LOOKS AT NOTHING ELSE

These are the documents where the highest number of predator names will be revealed by viewing the unredacted version. Each document contains descriptions of serious crimes with perpetrator identities blacked out.

---------------------------------------------------------
1EFTA00024797300~50Masseuse list — 7 pages, ALL completely redactedEvery name on the list. Women and girls including identified minors. Planned as Maxwell trial exhibit but never used. 7 pages of victims/perpetrators currently invisible.
2EFTA02731488150~25FBI prosecution notes: "16 when raped by Black," trafficked to "at least 25 different men"WHO ARE THE 25 MEN? Also: biological mother forced victim to perform sexual acts since childhood. Names of all recipients.
3EFTA0273142066~11First victim journal (13 pages handwritten) — 35+ names including ghost aliasesReal identities behind aliases: Mr. Mody, Mr. Sant, Mr. Ludwig, Mr. Cecchi, Mr. Mora, Mr. Goodlatte, Mr. Atkins. Victim states these people "are not who they say." Also: Ms. Vicki (facilitator FL/CA), Robert & Jill, the Gregorys (DC couple). Zero identification in any database.
4EFTA0002213384~149-page victim accusation compilation: Richardson, Mitchell, Minsky, Brunel + 12+ unnamed"A foreign president" (likely Barak but unconfirmed). "A French hotel chain owner" (NEVER identified — exhaustive search across all databases). 12+ additional unnamed perpetrators.
5EFTA0273108236~8Maxwell prosecution memo (25+ pages) — cameras in clock, Wexner theft, "lent out," many namesLoads of redacted names throughout. Maxwell told victim to do to "Glen" (Dubin) what she did for Epstein. Binders of nude photos. Healthcare proxy for Marcinkova. WHO else is named?
6EFTA0273151536~6Wigdor attorney notes: sex video circulating, 6 men at hotel, victim with 3, "former friend of Black"WHO ARE ALL 6 MEN? At least one trafficking victim sex video circulating online. Online gamer recognized victim from video. The "former friend of Leon Black" is unknown.
7EFTA0273146527~6Second victim journal (8 pages): Leonsis FILMED abuse, Staley belt violence, AOL recruitmentFocus on last page: the first redaction and the final two redactions are likely people of interest (perpetrators, not victims). Filming allegation = CSAM production (no statute of limitations). AOL executives named.
8EFTA0000407022.5~530-page FBI evidence package: 4 assaults before 18, 2 rapes, multi-countryAll redacted names. "Harem ideology." Brunel as constant companion. Naomi Campbell on island. Who else was there?
9EFTA0002070318~312-year-old French girls flown for birthdayNOTE: Pages EFTA00020706EFTA00020707 are NOT consecutive — conversation jumps mid-sentence, part of the record is missing. Key redaction on "page 6 of 8" (EFTA00020708): "you were living in [redacted] at that time" — why redact a place?
10EFTA0273122622.5~5Maxwell prosecution memo — "Epstein had cameras in his clock"Mainly victim info, but redactions are so severe it is possible perpetrator names are hidden among them. Internal prosecution strategy. Contradicts FBI CID "no cameras" claim.

    TIER F: AUTOMATED SCORING DISCOVERIES

    The automated scorer (crime keywords × redaction density across 24,982 documents) identified several high-value documents not previously in the investigation reports. After manual verification, these are the genuine finds:

    Documents incorrectly scored high (false positives):

    METHODOLOGY

    Data Sources

    • full_text_corpus.db: 1,380,941 documents, 2,731,825 pages, FTS5 indexed
    • redaction_analysis_v2.db: 2,587,102 redactions, 49,153 name-type entities
    • 10+ investigation reports with 400+ key EFTA citations
    • CONGRESS_RAW_EFTA_LIST.md: 250+ EFTAs categorized by crime type
    • CONGRESSIONAL_READING_GUIDE.md: Tiered reading list with specific instructions

    Automated Scoring (Layer 1)

    • FTS5 search identified 83,567 crime-keyword pages across 24,982 documents
    • Redaction density joined from 874,208 page-level redaction records
    • Name-proximity patterns (Mr./Ms./Dr. + redaction, "trafficked to," "raped by," etc.)
    • Document-level aggregation: crime pages × crime severity × redaction density

    Manual Enrichment (Layer 2)

    • 111 EFTAs manually enriched with crime context, redacted name estimates, and novelty factors
    • Sources: 10 investigation sessions, 70+ reports, 400+ EFTA citations
    • Each enriched EFTA includes: description, crime keywords, estimated redacted names, severity, novelty, source reports

    Final Scoring (Layer 3)

    ``

    REVEAL_SCORE = estimated_redacted_names × crime_severity × novelty_factor

    ``

    • Enrichment values override automated estimates when available
    • Automated score provides 10% boost for documents also flagged by keyword/redaction analysis
    • Documents with both high crime severity AND high redaction density receive 20% bonus

    Important Caveats

  • DS9-11 redaction data is unreliable — "recovered text" from these datasets is garbled OCR of baked-in redaction bars, not actual hidden content
  • Name entity counts from extracted_entities are 95%+ noise — used only for density scoring, not name identification
  • Enrichment is the primary signal — automated scoring alone produces bulk legal documents at the top due to page-count bias
  • Victim privacy — no real victim names, pseudonym-to-name mappings, or identifying details appear in this document

  • QUICK REFERENCE: THE SINGLE MOST IMPORTANT QUESTION

    If you have 5 minutes in the reading room: EFTA00024797 (masseuse list). Seven completely redacted pages — every name is a reveal. Planned as Maxwell trial exhibit but never used.

    If you have 30 minutes: Add EFTA02731488 (25 men, 2 pages) and EFTA02731082 (prosecution memo, many names). That's ~30 pages and potentially 80+ predator names revealed.

    If you have one afternoon: The Top 25 list above covers approximately 150 pages and potentially reveals 100+ predator names across victim testimony, FBI files, prosecution memos, and financial records.
