But then oops, the documents will unfortunately be lost/misplaced/burned in an accidental fire/wiped by a sudden digital storage failure...

Just as the camera outside Epstein's cell "failed".

(mostly) tongue in cheek here, before anyone claims me to be a conspiracy nut.

They found the footage. https://www.cnbc.com/2019/12/20/video-of-jeffrey-epstein-jai...

(The conspiracy theories will, of course, be adjusted for this. The "lost" footage is now "fake" footage.)

You mean conspiracy theory sites like NPR? Because well after the date on which your link was posted as a revelation, the video apparently ceased to exist because it was... drumroll... the victim of an accidental digital storage failure. So yes, laugh at the conspiracy theorists if you like, because they are often stubbornly and very emotionally obsessed with their beliefs, but at least try to remember that conspiracies do indeed exist as a thing, and also check the follow-up on your own links perhaps.

I believe previous comment is about 'the malfunction of two cameras in front of his cell' that happened during last successful attempt.
