Disturbing theory about why Epstein used 'whoops' so many times in files

Disturbing theory about why Epstein used 'whoops' so many times in files

It's another word which appears an irregular amount of times

Warning: This article contains discussion of child abuse and suicide which some readers may find distressing.

A disturbing theory has surfaced about another potential code word which is prevalent throughout the Epstein files.

Horrific revelations within the files are emerging almost every day since the Department of Justice released another three million pages worth of evidence against the disgraced financier Jeffrey Epstein.

As it stands, only his close associate Ghislaine Maxwell has faced repercussions for her role in the sex trafficking of minors, although a huge number of high-end celebrities from both the UK and the US have also been mentioned in the files, with Andrew Mountbatten-Windsor under particular scrutiny.

Amid the shocking pictures, claims and emails that feature in the files, observers quickly noticed that the terms 'pizza' and 'ice cream' were mentioned an irregular amount of times, often out of context, which led the internet to deduce their unsettling 'true' meaning.

And now it's been revealed, thanks to the new website that allows users to access Epstein's emails as if they were their own, that the paedophile used the word 'whoops' in 316 emails.

Shockingly, it seems as if it was Epstein's strange choice of word whenever someone was revealed to have died, as he replied to one email about the death of Deutsche Bank managing director Steven Elkman with 'whoops'.

A particularly disgusting email reads: “She said that she felt Gods presence next to her when she was in bed. She knows that Jesus watches over her…Whoops!”

In this case, Epstein either seems to be referring to the sexual abuse or death of the young girl.

It was also his choice of response when he learned about the death of Robert F. Kennedy Jr's estranged wife Mary, after she tragically hung herself in 2012.

Another exchange sees Epstein reply 'whoops' after a redacted individual writes that they’re giving Epstein 'permission to kill' someone who has lied to both him and the redacted recipient. It appears again when he hears about the alleged rape of a young woman.

It's already clear just how evil Epstein was, but the casual nature of his responses to some of these emails hammers home just how awful the sex offender actually was, and makes it even more heartbreaking that he was seemingly able to get away with his actions for so long.
