Serial prankster Riley Walz and his friend Luke Igel created a website called Jmail, which is a replica of Gmail but with Jeffrey Epstein's emails. The site was built in just one night by the two, who used an AI video editing tool called Kino AI to recreate the inbox.
Visitors can now browse through thousands of emails sent by Epstein to high-profile people like Ghislaine Maxwell, Steve Bannon, and Larry Summers, many of which allude to or directly refer to President Donald Trump. The site's design is similar to Gmail, with a sidebar that lets users sort emails by "Inbox", "Starred", and "Sent". In Jmail, the sidebar lists people who corresponded with Epstein.
The website was created as a prank, but it has proven to be useful for those looking to follow threads and back-and-forths in Epstein's communications. However, it also reveals some unusual behavior from Epstein, such as an increase in typos and sporadic formatting when he switched from using a desktop keyboard to a touchscreen device.
Igel notes that Jmail is not just about accessibility but also simplicity - it was easy for him and Walz to build and use. He believes others should do similar projects to make information more accessible, even if it seems like a small thing can make a big difference.
The project has received attention from some media outlets who see the value in Jmail as a means of making Epstein's emails more readable. For example, the website's readability makes it easier to follow conversations that might be hard to decipher when looking at PDFs on Google Drive.
