This market resolves YES if credible evidence emerges from the Epstein files, law enforcement investigations, court documents, or other authoritative sources that any individual who directly communicated with Jeffrey Epstein (or Epstein himself) engaged in vampirism—defined as the literal consumption of human blood as a practice or belief system.

The Justice Department has not indicated that the files support claims of cannibalism or ritualistic abuse by Epstein or his associates. Allegations of "ritualistic sacrifice" appear in documents summarizing a purported interview between FBI officials and an anonymous man in 2019, who claimed he witnessed "ritualistic sacrifice" and "babies being dismembered" on a yacht belonging to Epstein in 2000, but the man did not provide evidence to support his allegations.

The market resolves NO if no such evidence emerges by the resolution date. Metaphorical or figurative uses of "vampirism" (e.g., describing predatory financial or sexual behavior) do not count.

Background

On January 30, 2026, the Justice Department released over 3 million pages of documents, 180,000 images, and 2,000 videos related to Epstein. In July 2025, the U.S. Department of Justice released a memo concluding that no "client list" existed in the Epstein files, that no credible evidence supported claims Epstein had blackmailed prominent individuals, and that his death was a suicide.

Considerations

Unsubstantiated claims have circulated following the file releases. Following the release of the Epstein files, misinformation and disinformation related to the files spread on social media, including false rumors about public figures. The files contain submissions from the public to the FBI, many of which lack corroboration.
