The user also provided some of the earliest unproven conspiracy theories about Epstein’s death. In one post, which was later deleted but provided to the FBI in response to the subpoena, the user said someone may have swapped out Epstein’s body because of a mysterious van seen the previous night, DOJ records show.
“You guys i am shaking right now but i think they switched him out,” the anonymous poster said.
Image analysis. When a video is modified it is often pretty simple to tell if there are inconsistencies from an image captured under real world conditions using a camera lense.
It’s pretty simple to trick the human eye these days. But it’s significantly more difficult to modify a real world videos and perform “in-painting” (the more general term for a face swap) without obvious inconsistencies appearing.
It’s significantly easier to detect these inconsistencies than it is to perform in-painting that doesn’t have these inconsistencies.
It’s not 100% deterministic. But it is enough to conclude that it is more likely than not a digitally modified image/video.
Video is MUCH easier to conclude as fake or real too. Because, unlike an image, the in-painting needs to not only work consistently to real world conditions and match the surroundings throughout, but it also has to match seemlessly and naturally to every single frame one after another.
The specific techniques are usually dependent on the video. But sometimes something as simple as increasing the contrast on an image can really expose that the pixels of an in-painted portion are not behaving how the surrounding pixels are.
If you’re interested I found a journal paper that goes over it. Haven’t read it myself. But will likely after this comment. But just looking at the images in it can give you an idea of what the image analysis would be looking at.
Damn
Yeah there’s also a theory that Ghislaine is out free, someone saw her in Quebec
Also someone logged into one of JE’s gaming accounts from Israel like a month ago
My bet is he is being sheltered by Israel, and Ghislaine is headed there too
There are 8 BILLION people on this planet. The chances of a Ghislane doppelganger roaming around is not as low as one might think.
She looks a lot like my stepmom
The ghislaine video was proven to be a faceswap.
Proven by whom? How do you even prove such a thing?

Edit: I know nothing about the Maxwell video in question. This is just an answer on “how” people can determine if a video or image has been modified.
The gaming account was someone who changed its username and then got banned.
I wouldn’t be surprised if that was found out. But I am not comfortable just believing something like that. I don’t think that’s healthy.
