That gets the DNA off the floor, but how do you get it out of the shredder?
She knows more criminals than an inmate at Leavenworh.
Get rid of possible DNA or other traces that could be used as evidence.
I have a friend who used to work for an outfit that was developing such technology. Basically you could place the residue pieces on a flat table and an computer controlled camera would take pictures of each piece. Then the computer program would reassemble the document from the fragments.
That was quite a few years ago and I’m sure the technology has improved since then.
Of course if you incinerate your materials, there’s no way to reconstitute a document from ash.
good movie!!
What? No BleachBit? He could have borrowed Hillary’s.
Decent low end commercial class shredder that is about $200 on Amazon is about 53lbs.
Its not that big of a machine
The industrial ones can weigh into the thousands
Plus why pay a fortune shipping this stuff in from the VI when you can just get them on Amazon in 2 days for less with prime shipping?
Epstain doesn’t have prime?
What movie?
DoD approved crosscut shredder for classified material and as I recall I think it was 7/32 of an inch but they changed that to millimeters now and here’s a link to several varieties available.

I don’t know if anyone recalls this but in the movie The Falcon and the Snowman there’s a scene where they’re in a classified space and they’re using the shredder to mix their Bloody Mary’s I always kind of got to laugh at that because there was special Shredder oil you had to use that was a very fine oil and I can’t imagine a bloody mary tasting very good after it’s been through an oily shredder.
After Fawn Hall and Ollie North were charged with shredding documents I recall most classified shredders in the military were stenciled with the name Ollie prominently displayed. So Ollie’s legacy in the military was to have practically every Shredder named after him.
The weight implies durability because he needs to shred everything as quickly as he can. Those Staples shredders would not be up to par for the thousands of documents he wants to get at.
The jig is up they found tapes in his
safe when they search his home. I suspect that may explain his millions.
It’s hard to get a good shredder in the States...
Here’s the thing about deviants like Epstein: The perverted sex drive isn’t static. 14 yr Olds may have been a thing for him decades ago but it is highly unlikely that mere youth would turn him on now. So, what does turn him on? Well, his concern about the carpets and tiles in his pad offer a clue...
“...This time, it was sent to his New York townhouse, and it’s listed in maritime records as a tile and carpet extractor that weighed 191 pounds. ....”
Sounds like he needed to remove all traces of blood and DNA from his NYC townhouse. Considering what went on there, that probably required a lot of time and several “cleanings.”
Argo, about the Iranian hostage crisis. theres a scene where they have kids piecing together the shredder paper from the embassy.
what’s a tile and carpet extractor?
Thank you. I had completely forgotten about that movie.
No, not really. Something like a phonebook burns more akin to a log than does paper but it doesn’t like to stay lit and things like thick fanfold printer output tends to absorb moisture from the environment, like a carribean island, so now it burns like a soggy green log. Since it doesnt stay lit someone has to keep stirring the pile and even then chunks tend to get lost in the ash.
Individual sheets of course burn well but when you throw it in a big pile and light it in the hopes of speeding the process up you find that air cant get between the sheets so it doesnt light or want to stay lit even with gasoline or diesel.
Either way you wind up with a big pile of evidence exposed somewhere.
To burn it you would need to take the time to crumple each sheet and make a giant pile or make big fat shreds that hold themselves apart like a pile of spaghetti and burn it in batches or it will compress in on itself again recreating the no air problem.
If your going to have to get equipment to do it quickly and you need to make sure none can reassemble it then you need either a shredder and an incinerator or better, as Greybeard mentioned above, a pulverizer.
A shredder alone is just a way to distribute secrets more slowly.
Sorry, I meant Greyfriar in 39.
