There is no evidence the footage was deceptively manipulated, but ambiguities around how the video was processed may further fuel conspiracy theories about Epstein’s death.

Metadata embedded in the video and analyzed by WIRED and independent video forensics experts shows that rather than being a direct export from the prison’s surveillance system, the footage was modified, likely using the professional editing tool Adobe Premiere Pro.

    As I understand the headline, it could just as easily be someone in the prison that tampered with the data. That would be the simplest explanation, then.

    After reading the article, it’s not even clear it was tampering, as opposed to conversion and compilation of the original file formats. And apparently, if the footage is what it appears to be, he actually did kill himself.
