0:00

Wired is now reporting that there is

0:02

something sus about the meta data in the

0:06

Jeffrey Epstein prison video that the

0:10

prison video was likely modified. Okay,

0:15

let's try to understand this for a

0:17

moment because there's a lot. Obviously,

0:19

what we're referring to is that missing

0:21

minute first in the Jeffrey Epstein

0:24

prison footage. Now, keep in mind

0:26

regarding the Epstein uh CCTV footage

0:30

that that missing minute where people

0:33

have meme'd Hillary Clinton walking in,

0:35

right? Which is funny, but we got to

0:38

focus on it seriously for a moment. Why

0:41

would the cameras go, whether or not

0:44

this is even the correct angle that we

0:46

need, why would the cameras jump from

0:49

11:59

0:50

to 12? Watch then in about 5 seconds

0:54

here.

0:55

bada and boom.

0:58

It's odd, right? It's almost like these

1:01

cameras run 23597

1:04

instead of 24/7, which is odd. You know,

1:07

were the cameras restarting during that

1:09

time? Is that even necessary at that

1:11

point? A lot of conspiracies around

1:12

this, but this is now new information.

1:14

The Justice Department released nearly

1:15

11 hours of footage of what it described

1:17

as the full raw surveillance video from

1:20

the camera positioned near Jeffrey

1:23

Epstein's prison cell. And again,

1:25

they're referring to this as the raw

1:27

footage, so unedited. The release was

1:29

intended to address conspiracy theories,

1:31

but instead of putting those suspicions

1:32

to rest, it made them it may fuel them

1:35

even further. Meta data in the video

1:38

analyzed by Wired and independent video

1:42

forensic experts. Imagine that as a job

1:45

title. Yeah, I'm an independent video

1:47

forensic expert. Damn, that's a

1:50

mouthful. But anyway, shows that rather

1:52

than being a direct export from the

1:54

surveillance system, the footage was

1:56

modified, likely using the editing tool

2:00

Adobe Premiere Pro. So, in other words,

2:03

like when when you record a video file,

2:06

uh you would normally just get that

2:09

directly from your camera, raw, right

2:11

out of the camera. You don't have to go

2:13

drag it into some form of processor

2:16

unless maybe you're going to do a little

2:18

bit of editing to it. For example, when

2:20

I make videos, uh, like the video that,

2:24

uh, you know, we're making now, here's

2:25

an example of what they look like when I

2:28

make them. So, I just go in here and I

2:30

get these raw MP4 files because that's

2:32

how we record them on a Windows PC,

2:35

which then, you know, beams over to this

2:37

share Dropbox on the network. Well,

2:40

these files would not show up in uh, you

2:44

know, ever go in in Final Cut Pro.

2:46

Whereas, if I now take a file that I'm

2:50

going to export, I might be able to drag

2:52

those pieces uh into, let's say, Final

2:56

Cut Pro, for example, here's the WTF

2:58

video file. And what I'm able to do is

3:01

I'm able to go in here and cut out the

3:03

beginning or add some music or whatever

3:05

to the front or maybe cut out, you know,

3:08

a minute, which actually is what I do in

3:10

my footage, except I'm not running, you

3:12

know, prison CCTV footage. But as you

3:15

can see, this is exactly the same file

3:17

right here, but when I drag it into

3:18

Final Cut, I'm actually doing here is

3:20

I'm going to cut out that little front

3:22

portion of Dead Space where I'm not

3:24

saying anything, right? Uh, and then

3:26

there you go. The file footage basically

3:29

now lines up. But now when I export it,

3:32

the metadata is going to say it was

3:33

manipulated in Final Cut rather than

3:36

coming from my recording source. Right.

3:38

Okay, that's really interesting. The

3:41

files appear to have been assembled from

3:45

at least two source clips, which in

3:48

fairness, if you look really, I mean,

3:49

you don't even have to look that

3:50

closely, but when you look at this video

3:52

clip, you could see the sort of like

3:55

change in in uh angle almost, or not

3:58

maybe angle, but this positioning like

4:00

why why does it look like the

4:02

compression is slightly different or

4:04

like somebody dragged it out a little to

4:06

the left more the video clip? See how

4:08

one looks wider than the other? Right?

4:11

Weird. Uh those things could be

4:14

mistakes. Like if I'm in here, I could

4:17

theoretically grab this clip and

4:21

accidentally have it be zoomed in a

4:23

little bit more. So it would actually

4:25

look like this when it clicks over. See

4:28

that little punch in right there? It's

4:30

because it's been manipulated. So it

4:32

doesn't actually help prove that it

4:34

wasn't manipulated. In fact, it just

4:36

proves that it probably was manipulated.

4:38

Like even if the camera restarted during

4:41

that time, why would it have to go into

4:44

an editing software, right? Like I have

4:47

I have a lot of CCTV cameras as well.

4:50

And usually if you're going to have

4:51

cameras set to a restart, you'd have an

4:53

overlap angle. So when one's restarting,

4:55

the other one's not restarting at the

4:57

same time. And they cover each other.

4:58

That's that's the point of personal

5:00

surveillance technology. But anyway, or

5:02

in this case, commercial prison cell

5:04

technology where you would expect it to

5:06

be perfect. But anyway, the files appear

5:08

to have been assembled from at least two

5:10

source clips, saved multiple times,

5:12

exported, then uploaded to the DOJ's

5:15

website where it was presented as raw

5:17

footage. Don't tell us something's raw

5:19

when it's not raw. Experts caution that

5:22

it's unclear what was changed, and the

5:24

metadata does not prove that it was

5:26

deceptive. The video could simply have

5:28

been processed for public release. I

5:30

mean, that's also possible. I could drop

5:32

it in here, right? If I go into uh Final

5:35

Cut, let's go back into here. And let's

5:37

say I go to a file export uh and I want

5:40

to pick a file type. I could go in here

5:42

and I could choose uh H.264

5:46

or I could do Apple ProRes. The problem

5:49

is if I go Apple ProRes full, it's going

5:51

to be a 90 gigabyte export. Whereas, if

5:54

I go to H.264, it's a 4 gigabyte export.

5:59

And this is 1080 at 30, right? So, this

6:01

is just an example where sure you could

6:03

also use Adobe just to compress the file

6:07

footage, but again, missing minute, it's

6:11

in an editor, one spread a little wider

6:15

than another. Come on. Like, as a video

6:17

creator, it smells a little sus, you

6:20

know? Especially when you tell us it's

6:22

raw,

6:24

you know? It's kind of like Pam Bondi.

6:26

It's on my desk. What desk?

6:29

The memes. Anyway, uh the video may

6:32

simply have been processed for public

6:33

release. Sure. Case is already clouded.

6:37

For months leading up to the joint memo

6:38

published Monday, Pam Bonnie promised

6:40

the release of files relating to Epste.

6:42

However, rather than re revealing new

6:44

information, the memo largely confirmed

6:46

conclusions reached years earlier that

6:48

he was found dead by suicide. And

6:51

basically they just reiterated uh you

6:53

know the the conspiracy information

6:55

basically or not the conspiracy the the

6:57

original information from which people

6:59

started you know scratching their heads

7:01

a little bit going this isn't lining up

7:03

right because what to say conspiracy

7:06

almost sounds like we're discounting

7:08

what's going on which we don't want to

7:09

do that because what's going on is it is

7:12

weird and foil just happened to also

7:15

suddenly die a few months ago also kind

7:18

of weird just saying, but anyway, she

7:22

was a big, you know, uh, a big person in

7:25

terms of, uh, uh, you know, making these

7:27

allegations against Epstein and coming

7:29

forward with details around whom she was

7:31

basically, uh, you know, escorted around

7:34

with. But anyway, according to the FBI,

7:36

anyone entering the area containing

7:37

Epstein's cell during the relevant time

7:39

frame would have been visible on that

7:40

camera. Wire downloaded the video file

7:43

released by the Department of Justice,

7:44

which was described as a full raw

7:45

surveillance footage. Epstein's prison

7:47

cell the night before he was found dead.

7:49

To analyze the metadata, we ran the file

7:50

through a tool called XIF tool. Below is

7:53

the embedded metadata which information

7:55

related to the reporter's personal

7:57

device. Oh, with information related to

7:59

the personal device excluded.

8:02

So, this is the size. This is the tool

8:04

they ran. MP4

8:06

uh compatible brands blah blah blah.

8:08

Okay, whatever. Working with two

8:10

independent experts, Wired examined the

8:12

footage using metadata tools, exporters

8:16

analyzed both,

8:18

oh, this is too much for me. XIF uh and

8:21

XMP data. Okay. To identify signs of

8:25

post-processing, okay, basically putting

8:27

it into like Adobe, right? The raw files

8:30

show clear signs of having been

8:32

processed using an Adobe product based

8:35

on metadata that specifically references

8:38

file extensions used by Adobe. Well,

8:41

this is like a pitch for Adobe here. Uh

8:44

Adobe leaves traces in exported files,

8:47

often embedding metadata that logs which

8:49

assets were used and what actions were

8:51

taken during the edit. In this case, the

8:53

metadata indicates the file was saved at

8:55

least four times over a 23 minute time

8:59

span by a Windows user account called MJ

9:02

Cole 1. Who's MJ Cole? Find MJ Cole now.

9:09

The meta data does not show whether the

9:11

footage was modified before each time it

9:14

was saved. Uh the embedded data suggests

9:16

that the video is not a continuous

9:18

unaltered export from a surveillance

9:20

system.

9:22

Uh these entries appear under metadata

9:25

sections labeled ingredients as part of

9:27

Adobe's internal schema.

9:31

An expert analyzed the detection of

9:33

manipulated data and has detected you

9:35

know blah blah blah. He says the

9:37

metadata rises immediate concern raises

9:39

immediate concerns about the chain of

9:41

custody and the document handling of

9:42

this. If a lawyer brought me this file

9:44

and I asked if it was suitable for court

9:46

and I was asked if it was suitable for

9:47

court, I'd say no. Go back to the source

9:49

and do it right. do a direct export from

9:52

the original system. No monkey business.

9:55

The video's aspect ratio also shifts

9:58

noticeably as several points. Exactly.

10:00

That's that stretchy thing I was showing

10:02

you. Now, they caution that while

10:05

metadata clearly show the video was

10:07

modified, the changes could be benign.

10:09

For example, converting footage from

10:11

Yeah, but but sure, proprietary

10:13

surveillance format to MP4. That's fine.

10:15

Like I showed you with the Apple ProRes

10:17

in this case to MP4. But why did the

10:20

aspect ratio change at that moment? It's

10:22

just weird.

10:25

Uh had around 150 cameras. Why don't

10:28

they show all the other cameras that

10:30

have a missing clip? I mean, I guess

10:31

they could just edit those, too.

10:32

Apparently, only two operational cameras

10:34

despite the facility having 150 cameras.

10:38

Weird. Uh the footage confirms from the

10:41

time that Epstein was locked in his cell

10:43

between 10:40 p.m. to 6:30 the next

10:45

morning, no one entered the tier where

10:47

he's located. However, the recording

10:48

includes a noticeable gap. About a

10:50

minute and 2 seconds is missing. Video

10:52

resumes immediately afterwards. Blah

10:54

blah blah. The gaps in the video along

10:57

with this metadata are certainly

10:59

suspicious. Wow. The story just keeps

11:03

going. This is crazy.

11:06

Well, let's just say

11:11
