Aaron Day is compiling a source for massive data drops that include the Epstein files, the Panama Papers and more so that researchers may investigate the crimes of the powerful in order to change people's view of politics, cryptocurrency and surveillance.

Day describes how the original vision of Bitcoin that was supposed to operate peer-to-peer was deliberately "hijacked," as Bitcoin is now pushed as "digital gold," a scarce asset for Wall Street, with slow and expensive transactions for everyday use. He explained that the change came after the Bitcoin Foundation collapsed, and Epstein's money flowed through MIT to pay the core developers who favored the small-block path. Epstein invested in Blockstream, a company started by those same developers. 

Brock Pierce, who co-founded Tether, brokered Epstein's Coinbase investment, and had an extensive relationship with him. Tether then played a crucial role in inflating Bitcoin's price; a study suggests new, unbacked Tether, minted after price drops, accounted for roughly 50% of the 2017 bull run. The CFTC later fined Tether $41 million for lying about its reserves. Due to Epstein's manipulations in digital currency that can be programmed and controlled, Day called it 'The Creature From Epstein Island.'

Day also exposed Trump's Secretary of Commerce, Howard Lutnick, Epstein's next-door neighbor, who is poised to make a fortune on stable coins.
