I wouldn’t be that foolish – Andrew Kibe gives his take on Epstein files
Social media personality Andrew Kibe has given his take on the Epstein files, which detailed the activities of the late sex offender, Jeffrey Epstein and his accomplice Ghislaine Maxwell.
Citing part of the information that was recently made public by the United States Department of Justice, Kibe wrote on his X account on February 4, 2026 that the information contradicts his known way of how rich people operate.
According to Kibe, referencing escapades of the preceding night, especially on email, is not a practice embraced by the rich, adding that he wouldn’t do so.
He claimed that rich people are paranoid and wouldn’t dare exchange such communications, adding that anyone who believes the Epstein stories is a fool.
“I wouldn’t be that foolish to send emails about ‘last night’. If you believe the Epstein stories, you’re a fool. Rich people just don’t operate that way, the paranoia is crazy,” Kibe said.

High-profile persons mentioned
Several high-ranking politicians, business leaders and prominent people were mentioned in the documents released by the DOJ.
US president Donald Trump, Andrew Mountbatten-Windsor, Elon Musk, Bill Gates, Richard Branson, Sarah Ferguson and former Israeli Prime Minister Ehud Barak are among those mentioned.
For a long time, the release of the files was a point of contention.
The matter was settled when President Donald Trump signed a bill paving the way for their release.
Recent release of the Epstein Files
The most recent release of files happened on Friday, January 30, 2026, with millions of documents and photos released.
Although DOJ said that documents showing the faces of victims and their identities had been redacted, victims raised concerns shortly after the release.
DOJ responded by taking down thousands of files after complaints from victims.
All the removed documents were deemed to have the potential of compromising the identities of victims.

In a letter submitted to a federal judge on Monday, the DOJ said: “All documents requested by victims or counsel to be removed by yesterday evening have been removed for further redaction.”
Lawyers for Epstein’s victims said flawed redactions in the files released on Friday had “turned upside down” the lives of nearly 100 survivors.
DOJ noted that all the flagged files and that the mistakes were due to “technical or human error”.
