The final tranche of the Epstein Files has been released, and resulting allegations of misconduct against figures ranging from New York City Mayor Zohran Mamdani to President Donald Trump are flooding the Internet. While I am still reviewing the files myself and reviewing analyses by other media sources, I am seeing a lot of conflations between mentions in the files with sex scandals that are easily generated without scrutiny of the primary sources. Case in point: Lego bricks and LaVoy Finicum both feature in the Epstein Files.
In March of 2021, an email message from an account widely believed to be used by Jeffrey Epstein appears to offer to an unknown recipient the construction of a “badass lego gun.” Unfortunately the emails do not show the photos of said construction, though a followup email asking the recipient what they thought of the gun suggests that it was in fact constructed. Curiously, a search of the DOJ’s Epstein Files database shows 85 documents with reference to Lego. Nothing in the Files that I have read suggests any official partnership between The Lego Group or its parent company, Kirkbi, with Epstein, but the references to Lego put it at the same risk of conflation with sexual misconduct as other figures in the documents.
LaVoy Finicum is in the Epstein Files
This is not a smear campaign against the late LaVoy Finicum. 5 documents in the Epstein Files reference Finicum. Why? There are emails from a news subscription service, IntelligenceBulletins.com, that provided FBI briefings to subscribers. The recipients in these emails are redacted, but they all mention Finicum in relation to his death. Does this mean Finicum was a member of an international pedophile cabal? No. And many references to people that appear in decades of someone’s personal email files similarly do not implicate them in Epstein’s wretched villainy. Former Congressman Greg Walden is also featured 5 times in the files, and former Governor Kate Brown is mentioned 21 times, but all appear to be found in news subscription emails.
As the Internet continues to spiral into supposition and AI-generated slop related to words that are indeed present but with varied context, I encourage everyone to do their homework about what the files do and do not say, suggest, or imply. The truth of the files is only a click away, released to the US public conveniently at the link below courtesy of the Epstein Files Transparency Act signed by President Donald Trump in November 2025.
