4Chan knew about Jeffrey Epstein's death 38 minutes before the rest of the world. The FBI tried to figure out how.
NEWS | 27 February 2026
It beat ABC News journalist Aaron Katersky's post about Epstein's death on Twitter, now known as X, by 38 minutes. The newly released Epstein files show that the Justice Department tried to identify the 4Chan user behind the posts — but couldn't figure it out. The following year, federal prosecutors in Manhattan confirmed they never identified the 4Chan user. A 128-page Justice Department inspector general report on the circumstances surrounding Epstein's death detailed widespread dysfunction at the Metropolitan Correctional Center. Epstein appeared to be a 4Chan user himself, sometimes sending links of 4Chan posts to other people.
