Inside the Op: Phase 2

Inside the Op: How We Followed the Phones - phase 2

By Steven J. Boardman

They thought it was over. That Epstein was dead. That Ghislaine was tucked away in prison like a souvenir of justice. That the island had been pressure-washed, sanitized, and memory-holed. That court files would be sealed forever and the guest list would disappear into some blacksite basement of the DOJ.

But they forgot one thing.

Phones don’t lie.

We didn’t need a mole. We didn’t need a laptop. We didn’t need a subpoena. What we needed—what we found—was the NEAR dataset. A dense, sprawling catalog of anonymized but traceable device pings. The same data advertisers use to shove ads in your feed. The same data law enforcement uses to recreate murder scenes. The same data foreign intelligence services would pay seven figures to own.

We didn’t need names. We had signals.

And once we had those signals, we followed the phones.

What the Data Shows

From 2016 to 2019, we traced 317 distinct devices that pinged geolocation nodes within 300 meters of Little St. James. This is not speculative. These are logged, timestamped movements … GPS metadata that placed real devices on or around the island. We traced those devices back to their origins and forward to their next stops.

- Some stayed for a few hours

- Some stayed for several days

- A few never left

- Over two dozen returned multiple times

Here’s what the timeline looked like:

Year | Unique Devices | Repeat Visitors | Longest Stay | Example Destinations Post-Visit

2016 | 71 | 9 | 5 days | DC, Palm Beach, London

2017 | 83 | 14 | 11 days | Tel Aviv, Zurich, LA

2018 | 98 | 7 | 7 days | NYC, Dubai, West Palm

2019 | 65 | 3 | 4 days | DC, NYC, Miami

We also mapped over 22 instances of cross-device location overlap—devices that traveled in tandem from private airstrips or exclusive resorts before showing up on the island within hours of one another.

Some of these phones matched travel timelines from public FAA data and known tail numbers of Epstein’s aircraft. The patterns were impossible to ignore.

No Names. Just Coordinates.

We’re not accusing anyone. We don’t have to.

The data speaks for itself. The same devices that pinged on Little St. James also lit up at embassies, luxury hotels, Senate offices, and private terminals. Some even returned to the same gated residences weeks later. Routine patterns, not one-offs.

This wasn’t curiosity. This was comfort. This was access.

We overlaid the data with FAA logs, commercial travel APIs, and archived resort registries. In some cases, we confirmed devices that traveled to the island had also previously pinged at known Epstein properties in New Mexico and Manhattan. Others went quiet after their visit… burner devices, perhaps, used only for that one trip.

Why This Matters

Everyone keeps asking for the client list. The House voted against releasing it. The courts redacted it. The press tiptoes around it.

But phones don’t need permission to talk.

Geolocation data is the client list. It's just written in longitude and time stamps instead of ink. And if you think this is about some sleazy billionaire with a thing for manipulation and minors, you're not even close. This was logistics. This was networking. This was global access-as-currency.

We tracked one device that pinged on the island 19 separate times over 30 months. That same phone was present at Davos, the Milken Conference, and private fundraisers for both U.S. political parties. You tell me what that means.

We tracked another to a Gulfstream jet, leased through a Delaware shell corp, that made stopovers in Baku, Riyadh, and Geneva before heading to the island. Coincidence? Possibly. But if it were just one, maybe.

It’s not just one.

What Comes Next

We’ll release more. The heatmaps. The metadata. The pings. The breadcrumbs.

But know this—every ping we publish is matched by a full digital trail. Time. Distance. Movement. And every dot on that island is a story waiting to be told.

Phones don’t lie.

Follow the phones.

Inside the Op: How We Followed the Phones

by Steven J. Boardman

They thought it was over. That Epstein was dead. That Ghislaine was locked away. That the island had been bleached clean of sins. That by shredding the guest lists and sealing the court files, they could bury it all in the sand.

But they forgot one thing.

Phones don’t lie.

We didn’t break into any databases. We didn’t hack into satellites or intercept dark web chatter. We used public geolocation metadata—the kind corporations buy and governments exploit. Data that sits in plain sight if you know what to look for.

We didn’t need access.

We needed coordinates.

And once we had them, we followed the phones.

The result?A digital map of hell. Lit up not by speculation, but by the precise pings of real devices that entered, exited, and returned to one place: Little St. James. Epstein’s island. The epicenter of something far more sinister than anything the redacted court documents will ever admit.

Between 2016 and 2019, hundreds of devices made the journey to the island. Some stayed a day. Some a weekend. Some stayed long enough to trigger suspicion. Others returned. And some… some never left at all.

Phones that arrived.

Phones that lingered.

Phones that vanished.

We’re not naming names. We don’t have to. The coordinates do the talking.

The Signals We Traced

We used a publicly available version of the NEAR dataset… a commercial tool sold to marketing agencies, real estate developers, even political campaigns. The kind of metadata most people accept in exchange for weather updates or fitness stats. What they don’t know is how much it reveals.

Location history, mapped down to 15-foot accuracy.

Timestamps logged in perpetuity.

And the kicker? Cross-device association.

That’s how we followed the trail. Not just to the island, but off of it. We mapped where those devices went next. The hotels they checked into. The tarmacs they taxied from. The homes they returned to.

Palm Beach.

New York.

Washington, D.C.

Los Angeles.

Zurich.

Dubai.

Tel Aviv.

Do you see the pattern yet?

Some of these phones were government-issued. Others tracked movements that matched known flight logs of prominent individuals. One path lit up so consistently it looked less like a vacation and more like a goddamn commute.

No Names, No Accusations… Just Data

We didn’t accuse anyone of anything. We don’t have to.

We tracked phones.

They tracked themselves.

This is what modern guilt looks like… not in courtrooms, but in movement patterns. In signal trails. In heatmaps glowing with activity where there should be none.

This wasn’t a drop-in.

This was routine.

This was networked.

And when you return to the same black site, over and over, the burden of proof shifts. You weren’t invited. You weren’t curious. You weren’t lost. You belonged. And long after the conviction and time served, so there is no pleading ignorance… only the disgusting, “willful” kind.

Why They Blocked the Files

When the House voted to block the release of the Epstein client list, they didn’t do it to protect national security. They did it to protect themselves.

They already know what’s in the files.

They don’t need to read them.

They’re on the fucking guest list.

They’re betting you’ll forget. That you’ll move on. That another war, another scandal, another indictment will bury this again. But what they don’t understand is this: there’s a new kind of investigation happening now. One that doesn’t wait for subpoenas or whistleblowers.

We don’t need cooperation.

We don’t need confession.

We have coordinates.

What Comes Next

The “Follow the Phones” campaign is just beginning.

Every image we’ve released? Just a fraction of the archive. There are hundreds of data points still to drop; each one paired with maps, overlays, timestamps, and visual breadcrumbs. We’re doing what the government won’t. What the press won’t. What the survivors were never allowed to.

We are cartographers of truth.

We’re mapping guilt.

We’re connecting presence to power.

And we’re not stopping.

Final Coordinates

They can redact the names.

They can seal the testimony.

They can threaten the whistleblowers.

But they can’t un-ping the towers.

If you were there, we’ll know.

If you came back, we’ll see.

If your phone never left, the world will.

“They blocked the Epstein files because they know. They don’t need to read them… they’re on the guest list.”

We’re not theorizing. We’re not speculating.

We’re tracking. Every entry. Every exit. Every echo.

Some of those phones never left.

Follow the Phones. It’s time.
