I am interested in the following accusations: https://docs.google.com/document/d/1G2Q8GyeZ6wi9MkawWoFIJHymeEy25b3TuyPeuPKe44g

Specifically these affidavits:

They allege, basically, that the FBI had witness testimony that Keith Rainiere sexually abused an underage girl, but were unable to prove it. An agent then modified EXIF timestamps on some explicit photographs that Keith Rainiere took of this woman when she was of age, and used them to support a child pornography charge. That charge was then rolled into a RICO conviction along with several conspiracy charges, and probably turned a trial that was quite legally murkey into a slam dunk for the EDNY.

While Keith Raniere did commit many crimes, and was in fact the leader of an absurd sex cult, the chain of custody violations and discrepancies alleged here are severe enough to have piqued my interest. I am unaware of another case in recent history of the FBI doctoring evidence in this kind of brazen way to secure a conviction and it would definitely change my model of U.S. law enforcement to confirm this. I realize that the former forensic examiners signing these affidavits were paid by friends of Keith to look into things, but perhaps that's because they're worth looking into!

A reproduction would involve me acquiring the equipment involved, verifying that it works the way these affidavits specify, and can't be glitched accidentally into producing the anomalies that these defense witness say implies tampering.

This market will resolve N/A if I do not attempt to perform this reproduction by April 1st. I may attempt to reproduce the evidence even if this market is very low, out of respect for traders who want a resolution.
