Epstien ordered 350 gallons of sulfuric acid?!?!?!

[Volaris]

David Cay Johnston was on Mark Thompsons show today and said this....wtf is this confirmed?!
Jesus how many people did this FUCKER dissappear?!

[Gaugamela]

1. I have seen it reported elsewhere. Apparently there is a receipt in the files. There is

a possible benign explanation, which is that the acid is commonly used for reverse osmosis desalination. The receipt has “RO Plant” listed in the description.

[biophile]

3. Plausible- but also a good cover/excuse. 🤔

[Gaugamela]

5. True. Especially as it was ordered just as the investigation was heating up before his

arrest in 2019.

[biophile]

19. You're right! Suspicious timing!

Wonder if there was a desalination system and when it was installed? Had they ever ordered that acid before?

[Tribetime]

21. Yes , and that's way way way higher than someone would need residential

[Tribetime]

20. But that amount is much higher and usually used for AnCommercial filtration plant not a resident

[ForgedCrank]

31. I did

a little bit of reading on this because I was curious (hopefully law enforcement is not monitoring my google searches).
I also discovered that yes, sulfuric acid would dissolve a human, it just takes a long time. I didn't think it would actually work.
I also found that another common use is for cleaning drains. I'm not sure how one would need multiple barrels of it for that purpose though. Your explanation makes the most sense to me.

2. Epstein was a Bond villain, a high-ranking SPECTRE operative, he'd keep a pool full of sharks at his private island

This is what we are all thinking..

Epstein ordered 330 gallons of sulfuric acid the day he found out the FBI was investigating him. Sulfuric acid dissolves corpses, including bones. 330 gallons is enough for 15 years of desalination, so don't claim that's why Epstein ordered it and that the timing was a coincidence.

Mix it with hydrogen peroxide and you get "piranha solution."
That shit dissolves organic materials in mins.

6. For Desalination At Substantial Scale...

...sulfuric acid is used fairly copiously.
350 gallons is a couple mini-bulk containers.
I don't see anything nefarious here, despite who we're talking about.

[AZJonnie]

7. Thank you.

Saved me the trouble.

Also, the fact that the date the investigation opened matches this order does not prove (or really even suggest) that this was the day Epstein became aware of it being opened.

Sulfuric acid dosing for RO/desalination depends on:
* Plant capacity (gallons per day of water produced).
* Feed‑water alkalinity and carbonate hardness.
* Target pH and scaling control strategy.
* Whether the same chemical is also used for pools, wastewater, cleaning, etc.

Change any of those and the annual acid demand can move by orders of magnitude.

"15 years worth" is internet back-of-napkin math.

16. Sulfuric Acid Purchases..

...to entities not established as chemical operating or waste water treatment sites might be tracked because of the use of sulfuric in explosives manufacturing is typical.
It's a dehydrating agent that helps improve nitration yields.
The ATF might track anything over a box of 4 gallon jugs. Who knows how little raises a flag?
But, that's the ATF's job, so it wouldn't surprise me at all.

[AZJonnie]

24. Makes sense. Which also might imply his past purchase history could be examined

to determine whether this purchase was wildly out-of-cycle, if one had access thereto.

[OGBuzz]

8. for what it's worth....

I watched a video on this very topic on Gab, but it's impossible to tell reality from bullshit these days.

9. Well, after all.......

You can't dissolve an adult body with a 12 ounce bottle, can you?

[Dave Id]

10. WTF?

This didn't cause any red flags anywhere?

[bluestarone]

11. Well, now we know what he did (purchasing this acid) now if he did use it to disolve human bodies, would it

be easy to find the site that this took place?

[Emile]

12. I used to unload railroad tank cars of sulfuric acid.

I had a couple drops on my steel toe work shoe that I didn't see. It eat a hole through my shoe and was eating my flesh in my foot before I noticed. It's some bad shit.

[11 Bravo]

13. Every woman who had physical contact with Trump wanted to bathe in it.

[pattyloutwo]

28. No they didn't

If it dissolves flesh.

[Mr. Evil]

15. Is there any evidence

of previous and/or regular orders of this quantity? If this amount was just a one-time purchase that should raise some concerns. Then again, these are mega millionaires and billionaires without much of a moral compass we're talking about.

[AZJonnie]

26. Thank you, yes, that's exactly what an investigator should/would look at

However it's quite logical that a large, luxury island compound, likely with many pools, went through RO water (hence, sulfuric acid) like it was going out of style.

This information, in a vacuum, with no reason to think Epstein became INSTANTLY aware the very day the FBI started their investigation, and no known "missing persons" tied to the guy to begin with, cannot be reasonably assessed as incriminating, IMHO.

[Torchlight]

17. Maggots will certrainly ignore, downplay and then minimize this into irrelvance

if they get the chance. Guessing the same rightwingers who advertise locally as Skeptics® will eat this with the same gusto as loaded mashed potatoes on a cold winter afternoon.

[chowder66]

18. Bought for his RO Plant on his Island.

Jeffrey Epstein appears to have purchased 330 gallons of sulfuric acid for his private island on the same date in 2018 when the FBI reopened investigations into his trafficking charges.
.........
The request on the sulfuric acid form reads: “x 6 55 gal drums sulphuric acid w/fuel and insurance charge for transport; materials for conductivity probes; replacement pH and cable – RO plant.”

22. Getting into Vincent Price levels of villainy here!

😮

[John1956PA]

27. I just had to rewatch that 1959 questionable classic when it aired on a local station here two years ago.

30. The Rifftrax version is hilarious!

23. I'm not much of a chemist,

Wouldn’t the dissolving of bodies leave some kind of evidence of what was dissolved? I’ mean traces of chemical changes in the acid itself?

[AZJonnie]

25. Yes it definitely does, but since we're delving into (imho borderline silly) theories here on this thread

He also had an entire ocean readily available, really nearby. And probably lots of boats.

ETA: what I mean is that is that there was a readily available dumping/dilution site for the theoretical human-remains-contaminated H2SO4.

[Cha]

29. Right? I saw it posted here a day

or two ago. Some things are just hard to wrap your head around.

WHY?!
