On February 2, wellness influencer Peter Attia stepped down from his role as chief science officer at the protein company David. On February 12, Goldman Sachs’s top lawyer Kathryn Ruemmler announced her resignation from the company. And on February 13, Hollywood agent Casey Wasserman revealed that he would sell his talent agency. 

All of these business execs worked in very different spheres, but their sudden departures can be traced back to the same point of origin: their names cropped up again and again in the Department of Justice’s (DOJ) latest trove of Epstein files, released in late January. Over the past few weeks, many prominent figures have stepped down from their high-profile positions amid growing scrutiny over their relationships with the convicted sex offender Jeffrey Epstein. A new tool called “Jwiki” is dedicated to compiling all of that information in one place—on, as the name suggests, a web page designed to mimic Wikipedia. 

It’s the latest interface from a team of developers who have spent the last several months converting the notoriously dense and convoluted Epstein files into easily searchable interfaces, condensing about 3.5 million pages of material spread across .txt files, zip files, and Google Drive folders into recognizable formats.

With Jwiki, instead of sifting through all of the Epstein files for individual mentions of various public figures (a nearly impossible task for members of the public), users can simply search their name and receive a succinct summary of their involvement with Epstein.

How two technologists build the “Jsuite”

Jwiki comes courtesy of a team led by technologists Riley Walz and Luke Igel. Walz has previously built several viral websites, including San Francisco’s “Tech Jester” and a tool to track the city’s parking cops. In November 2025, Igel, who’s the CEO of an AI company called Kino, requested Walz’s help with a tool to demystify Epstein’s emails. They built the first iteration in just one night.

That initial tool, called Jmail, allows users to wade through Epstein’s seemingly endless email correspondence in a Gmail-style interface. To build it, Walz and Igel used Google’s Gemini AI to run optical character recognition (OCR) on the individual emails and map it onto a simulation of Epstein’s actual inbox. 

Since then, Walz and Igel have relied heavily on vibe coding to expand the Jsuite into other apps like Jamazon; which tracks Epstein’s Amazon orders through receipts; Jflights, which converts his flight data into a searchable map; and Jphotos, which compiles the files’ thousands of photos into one massive folder. In an interview with the publication Arena on February 12, Walz and Igel said that the Jsuite is receiving an average of 10,000 visitors daily, with a peak of well over a million visitors in a single day.
