What this page does and does not contain

This page is about a man who took photographs of building work and e-mailed them to his employer. Cashkim Bussue was an office assistant at Southern Trust Company, Inc. in St. Thomas, and the estate’s own staff list gives his job in six words: STC Assistant / LSJ Photos to Owner. By volume he is one of the largest single correspondents in the entire release, and until now he had no page.12

Nothing in the record suggests he is a complainant, a survivor or a witness of that kind, and this page makes no such suggestion. No allegation against him was found anywhere in the documents read for this page, and none is made here.3

An employee carrying out instructions is not a participant in what the instructions were for. Photographing a cabana floor is one documented act. What the operation around him was doing is a separate question, and this page does not answer it.

His sent mail carries 36 documents the corpus labels as photographs and 10 it labels as blank. Not one photograph is described here in any respect. They are reported by count only.4

No telephone number and no account identifier is reproduced here, and no electronic address of his own. Jeffrey Epstein’s address is reproduced where it stands in a header that is quoted.

The actPhotography. He went to Little St. James and Great St. James, photographed building work, and sent the pictures to Jeffrey Epstein. At least 567 of his 1,603 messages carry four words of their own or fewer, and the screen producing that floor over-counts prose, so the true share is higher7

Cashkim Bussue wrote more messages in this release than most of the financiers, lawyers and politicians who have pages on this wiki. What he wrote about was cabanas, flooring, palm trees, a flag pole, a salt pond, a generator room, a septic system and a helipad. He was not writing memoranda. He was sending photographs, a batch at a time, from a Virgin Islands office to a man who wanted to see what his builders had done that day.

That is not an inference from a volume count. It is what the estate’s own staff roster says his job was, and the documents he sent are the job being done.1

Who he is, established four ways

The desk did not know who Cashkim Bussue was when this page was commissioned, and did not guess. Four documents, read independently of one another, settle it.

First, the estate’s own staff list. A two-page scanned roster of the island workforce ends with a block headed Management & Office:. His row reads:1

Cashkim Bussue

STC Assistant / LSJ Photos to Owner

The released text of that sheet gives his name as Cashkini Bussue. The page image gives Cashkim Bussue. The same sheet, read at the image, also corrects Cecile delongh to Cecile deJongh.1

Second, a colleague naming his post. On 18 December 2017 Daphne Wallace, whom the same roster lists as executive assistant to Richard Kahn, wrote to a correspondent whose name the producing party has covered:5

I will ask our Associate Assistant, Cashkim, to inform you of any and all mail that is received at the STC office addressed to you.

Third, a government compliance report. The Virgin Islands Economic Development Commission’s compliance report on Southern Trust Company, Inc., covering 1 February 2013 to 31 December 2017, names him as a full-time employee of the company. It records that for the years 2013 to 2016 the company documented annual employee retirement contributions for every full-time employee except Jeffrey Epstein, and that for 2017 the exceptions were Epstein, Cashkim Z. Bussue, and a further person whose name the producing party has withheld and which this page does not supply. The Commission nonetheless concluded that the company met the requirements of this special condition. The report does not say why those employees were excepted, and neither does this page.9

Fourth, a telephone invoice. A mobile account billed for the cycle 2 June to 1 July 2018 lists its lines by user. One of them is STC - Cashkim Bussue. The same account carries a line labelled LSJ SPARE CARD and two labelled LITTLE SAINT JAMES, alongside lines for Brice Gordon and other island staff. The released text of that sheet reads STC : C.ashkim Bussue; the page image reads STC - Cashkim Bussue.10

Taken together: he was Southern Trust Company’s assistant in the St. Thomas office, he was the man who photographed the islands for the owner, and the company and the islands were the same operation.

The work, in his own words

His earliest located message is one word. On 11 October 2017, copied into an office thread about the St. Thomas telephone service failing, his entire contribution reads Noted.11

Most of what followed carried no words at all. The standard message is a subject line, a list of image files, and a formula, as on 5 December 2017:12

Good day all,

Please see the attached p=otos for review.

Wa=m Regards, Cashkim.

The p=otos and Wa=m are a transfer-encoding fault present on the produced sheet itself, not an artefact of the released text, and are printed here as they stand. The page image carries them.12

When he did write, he wrote about the photography. On 29 January 2018:13

Good day, Mr. Epstein,

I will not be taking photos today, Monday, January 29, 2018, due to an inspection being performed on the island. However, I was told by Randy, while on the phone with Brice, that I should come tomorrow to resume my picture taking.

Thanks.

With warm regards, Cashkim.

On 30 April 2018, copying Brice Gordon and Cecile de Jongh:14

Good morning Sir,

I am writing to let y=u know if it is okay with you of course, to resume picture taking tomorrow=Tuesday May 1st 2018. Brice said to me it would be ideal if I come tomorro= being that you were here on Friday and that, tomorrow would be a better d=y to take pictures so that you will be able to see any progress made from =our last visit.

Thanks for your keen understandin=.

Regards, Cashkim.

On 24 January 2019, the whole message:15

Good day, Mr. Epstein, I was not able to take photos of the Fuel room today because the door to the entrance has been locked. Regards, Cashkim.

The longest document he wrote that was read for this page is an apology for having photographed the wrong building. On 30 November 2018:16

Good day Mr. Epstein,

I want to apologize for the miscommunication within the emails between us yesterday. Truthfully, I did not saw the 5:45am email which gave directives to take photos of Pebble Beach Footing. So much so, I only saw the email which was sent to me instructing me to take photos of, Sam’s Place, Master Bedroom and Twin Room on GSJ.

I would like to say however, that I would never neglect work when it relates to your priority. Therefore, I have decided take the initiative to go to LSJ early this morning to take photos of Pebble Beach Footing. I hope all pictures that were sent to you are satisfying. If there is anything further please let me know.

Once again, I sincerely apologize for the misunderstanding.

Thank you.

Sincerely, Cashkim.

I did not saw is as printed on the page image. So is the 5:45 in the morning.

Who gave the instructions

The photography was directed from the top, and the record shows it in one line. On 18 December 2018 Epstein wrote into a thread about a bathroom air-conditioning unit:8

and have cash take lots of photos of dock

On 25 January 2019 he wrote to Bussue and two colleagues:17

Please keep a photo rusted file. I want rusted thing replaced!

And on 12 February 2018, replying to a batch of photographs of a cottage, Epstein’s entire message was:18

were these taken today?

What the photographs were for, on this evidence, was construction supervision at a distance. Epstein, Richard Kahn, Brice Gordon, Ann Rodriquez and others replied on top of Bussue’s photographs with decisions about hydroseed, ceiling wood, floor tile, trenching and a dock house. In the documents read for this page, Bussue is almost never party to those decisions. He supplies the pictures and the thread moves on above him.19

What the subject lines are

The subject lines are the most economical description of the job. Those recovered from his sent mail include Cabana #1 through Cabana #4, Pebble Beach, Chillax Bathroom, Waterfall, Tiki Kitchen, Flag Pole Cabana, Mike's Cottage, Nursery Coral Stone Steps, Oil Room, Salt Pond, Barge Bumps, GSJ Septic, Main Compound Wall, Fuel Tank Room, Helipad, Coconut Palms, Tennis Court Posts Cutting Down, Rusty Gym Equipment Have Been Removed., Container Shed Workplace At Christmas Cove, Trespassing Signs, RO Plant System and Trimming Of Tress At Waterfall.20

Tress is as printed. So is the full stop inside Rusty Gym Equipment Have Been Removed.

He also did ordinary office work. On 4 December 2018 he wrote to Karyna Shuliak that a piece of correspondence addressed to her had arrived in the mail at the office, and asked what he should do with it. His message is described rather than quoted in full, because one detail in it falls in a class this wiki does not reproduce for anyone. His own words for the request were:21

Can you please advise on what should I do with the mail.

One writer, or an account others used

The desk tested this because a sender count is not an act count, and because on another page this week reading the signatures deflated a raw sender figure by more than half. Here the test comes back the other way. Across the 62 documents read for this page, every message sent from his account that carries a sign-off is signed Cashkim - as Regards, Cashkim., Sincerely, Cashkim., With warm regards, Cashkim., Wa=m Regards, Cashkim. and Respectfully, Cashkim. No message read for this page is written in the third person about him from his own account, and no second writer signs from it.22

That is a finding about the documents read, not about all 1,603. A mechanical screen for third-person self-reference across the whole sender-side population returned nothing, but the screen is crude and is reported as a screen rather than a reading.22

The deflation here is of a different kind. Very many of his 1,603 sender rows carry no prose at all, only a subject line and an attachment manifest. A conservative screen puts at least 567 of them at four words of their own or fewer, and because that screen counts stray formatting as prose the real figure is larger. The number of messages in which he says something is far smaller than the number of messages he sent, and this page quotes seven of them.7

The measurement

Scope is stated as a floor and the method is given, because every union dispatched by this desk recently has been one.2

  • The union is 2,930 documents, computed as a single query over distinct document identifiers across eleven spellings. It is not the sum of the parts, because boolean matching in this index combines per page and not per document.2
  • The full name alone returns 2,752 documents. The commission for this page expected a floor of about 2,754; widening by damage shape added 178 documents it would have missed.2
  • The surname is effectively unique in this release. Bare bussue returns 2,785 documents, only 33 more than the full name. All 33 were examined. They are not another bearer: they are inbound mail addressed to him by Epstein, Richard Kahn, Brice Gordon, Ann Rodriquez, Bella Klein and others, together with his own messages in which the released text has damaged his surname, plus the staff roster, the compliance report and the telephone invoice.2
  • The forename adds more than the surname does. Bare cashkim returns 2,912 documents, 160 more than the full name - a set no variant screen of the full name would reach.2
  • His name is damaged 22 ways in the sender column alone, among them Cashkirn Bussue, Cashkiin Bussue, Cashkim Bussu, Cashkim Btissu, Cashkim Bussuit, Cashkim BussuE and the remarkable as im ussue, in which the C, the hk and the B are all lost.2

The date field cannot be trusted and the headers say so. The release’s derived date column places one message in 2011 and four in 2023. Two of those five were read at the page image and both are 2018. The 2011 document’s released text reads Friday, December 28, 201111; the page image reads Friday, December 28, 2018 5:46 PM, and 28 December fell on a Friday in 2018 and on a Wednesday in 2011. The 2023 document read at the image is headed Monday, April 9, 2018 8:16 PM, and 9 April fell on a Monday in 2018 and on a Sunday in 2023. The other three were not rendered and are not claimed either way.6

On the corrected evidence his correspondence belongs to 2017, 2018 and 2019, and the derived column’s 2011 and 2023 are parse failures on damaged year digits, not a longer career.6

What this page does not say

No allegation against him was found in any document read for this page.3

He is a private individual. His household, his health and his family are not this wiki’s business and nothing of that kind appears here. His own electronic address is not reproduced here. The desk’s question of whether contact values may be printed at all is unresolved, and this page does not pre-empt it.

Nothing here suggests he knew of, participated in or witnessed any offence. He photographed buildings. A reader should draw nothing whatever from the mere fact that an estate photographer’s output is voluminous. This is a shallow pass over a very large population and says so. 62 documents of the 2,930 were read. The rest were measured, screened and sampled, never read, and no claim on this page rests on a document the desk did not open.23

One gap is recorded rather than smoothed over. The release carries nothing from him between the start of the period the compliance report covers, February 2013, and October 2017, although the report treats him as a full-time employee during 2017. Whether he was employed before 2017 is not established by any document read for this page.3

Footnotes

Footnotes

  1. The staff roster. EFTA01683007, second sheet, read at the page image at native 96 ppi. A two-sheet scan. The first sheet lists the manual workforce by department and ends with the words Management & Office:; the block of office staff those words introduce begins at the top of the second sheet, which carries no heading of its own. His row is the last on the sheet and reads Cashkim Bussue against STC Assistant / LSJ Photos to Owner. The released text of this sheet renders his forename Cashkini; the image reads Cashkim. The image likewise corrects the released text’s Cecile delongh to Cecile deJongh. The roster’s own spelling Michael Gliddden, with three d’s, is confirmed at the image and is not repaired here. Part of the table is covered and nothing about that part is described. No other row of the roster is reproduced in full on this page; three names and one job title are taken from other rows and nothing else is. The sheet carries no date and none is asserted for it. ↩ ↩2 ↩3 ↩4 ↩5 ↩6

  2. The measurement. Index pinned at /mnt/d/dump/AI-investigator/Epstein-research-data/full_text_corpus.db, size compared and matched at 10,982,875,136 bytes against a 0-byte decoy of the same name elsewhere on the disk. Firing control "richard m berman" returns 371 documents / 885 pages; a null token returns 0. All set algebra is performed over distinct document identifiers, never by addition, because this index matches per page: a boolean combination can agree on a document while no single page carries both terms. Union 2,930 documents over eleven forms in one query - cashkim bussue, bussue cashkim, c bussue, bussue, cashkim, cashkirn, cashkiin, cashkin, bussu, bussuit and btissu. Twelve forms were measured and only eleven entered the union: "cashkim bussu" is measured below at 39 documents but is a subset of "bussu" and adds nothing to the union, so it was not carried into the query.; an aim control adding a null token to the same union leaves it at 2,930, and the full form alone returns 2,752, so the query is capable of returning a smaller number. Per form, at document level: "cashkim bussue" 2,752 (2,765 pages) · "bussue" 2,785 · "cashkim" 2,912 · "bussue cashkim" 120 · "cashkim bussu" 39 · "bussu" 41 · "c bussue" 2 · "cashkirn" 2 · "cashkin" 2 · "cashkiin" 1 · "bussuit" 1 · "btissu" 1. Shapes tested and returning nothing: cashkam, cashldm, casnkim, kashkim, cashkinn, bussee, busssue, bussne, hussue. Surname exclusive of the full form: 33 documents, every one examined. Forename exclusive of the full form: 160 documents. Sender column: 1,603 rows across 22 distinct spellings, which is 20 rows and five spellings more than the commission’s own figure, the difference being spellings a narrower pattern misses. Spelling counts: Cashkim Bussue 1,560 · Cashkim Bussu 15 · Cashkim Bussue c 5 · four spellings at 2 rows each · fifteen at one row each, and 1,560 + 15 + 5 + 8 + 15 = 1,603. No deduplicated message total is stated. The release’s own document-type labels over the sender side are email.header 1,554, image.photo 36, blank.white 10 and plist 3; these labels are the project’s own, are known to be unreliable elsewhere, and nothing on this page rests on them. ↩ ↩2 ↩3 ↩4 ↩5 ↩6 ↩7 ↩8 ↩9

  3. Absences, each scoped. No allegation against him was found in any document read for this page. No deposition, interview report or filing naming him as a party or a subject was found among them. Each of these says what was not found in 62 documents, not what does not exist in 2,930. No systematic absence search was run across the population and none is claimed. No statement by him or on his behalf has been found and none was sought from here. His employment before 2017 is not established: the compliance report treats him as a full-time employee during 2017 and covers a period beginning in February 2013, but no document read for this page places him in the company earlier, and the release carries nothing from him before October 2017. That gap is recorded as a gap. Why the compliance report excepted him from one year’s retirement-contribution documentation is not stated by the report and is not inferred here. ↩ ↩2 ↩3 ↩4 ↩5

  4. The photographs. The release labels 36 documents on his sender side image.photo and 10 blank.white; three more are labelled plist. None was opened for description and no photograph’s content is characterised anywhere on this page - not a subject, not a location, not the presence or absence of any person. They are reported by count only. The count of 36 is one higher than the commission’s 35; the extra document is one whose sender string is damaged to Cashkiin Bussue and which a narrower pattern misses. The messages’ own words about their attachments - subject lines and the formula Please see the attached p=otos for review. - are quoted; nothing else about them is. ↩

  5. Daphne Wallace naming his post. EFTA00568601 p.1, read at the page image. Her message of Dec 18, 2017, at 1:25 PM sits inside a chain headed Re: Mail at STC, Date: Tue, 19 Dec 2017 02:15:26 +0000. The correspondent she is writing to is covered by the producing party throughout the chain and is not identified here; nothing that person wrote is quoted. The quoted sentence is reproduced exactly as the image prints it. A further sentence of hers on the same sheet carries a bare forename and is not used. ↩ ↩2 ↩3 ↩4

  6. The dates. The last located message is EFTA01808920, header Tuesday, July 2, 2019 3:41 PM, subject Main Compound White Table Sofas; 2 July 2019 was a Tuesday, and Epstein was arrested on 6 July 2019. Two outliers in the release’s derived date column were tested at the page image and both failed. EFTA02608898 p.1, read at the image: the derived column says 29 December 2011, the released text reads Friday, December 28, 201111, and the image reads Friday, December 28, 2018 5:46 PM. 28 December 2011 was a Wednesday; 28 December 2018 was a Friday. EFTA02478334 p.1, read at the image: the derived column says 10 April 2023, and the image reads Monday, April 9, 2018 8:16 PM. 9 April 2023 was a Sunday; 9 April 2018 was a Monday. Three further documents that the derived column places in February 2023 were NOT rendered and nothing is claimed about them. The derived column’s raw shape over the sender side is 2017 164 · 2018 942 · 2019 469 · plus the five outliers and 23 rows carrying no date at all. No corrected yearly total is printed, because only two of the five outliers were settled. ↩ ↩2 ↩3 ↩4 ↩5 ↩6 ↩7

  7. What the messages contain. A strict extractor was run over all 1,603 sender-side documents to separate each message’s own body from its quoted reply chain, its attachment manifest and its boilerplate. It is reported as a screen, not a reading. It was given two planted controls: an attachment-manifest-only message, which it scored at zero body words, and a short prose message, which it scored at eleven. On that screen 567 of 1,603 documents carry four body words or fewer. The screen leaks fragments of HTML styling into what it counts as prose, so its count of substantive messages is an over-count and no figure from it is printed on this page as a result. What the page states instead is the qualitative shape confirmed by hand across the 62 documents read: the standard message is a subject line and a list of image files. Seven of his messages are quoted on this page. ↩ ↩2

  8. Epstein directing the photography. EFTA02612650 p.1, read at the page image. The sheet is a chain forwarded by brice gordon, Sent: Tuesday, December 18, 2018 6:38 PM, subject Re: LSJ Chillax Bathroom AC. Epstein’s message is quoted inside it at On Tue, D=c 18, 2018 at 1:45 PM. The quoted span is the opening clause of a longer sentence and nothing has been removed from inside it; the remainder of the sentence carries a further bare forename and is not reproduced. w=ll is on the image and is not repaired. ↩ ↩2 ↩3

  9. The compliance report. EFTA00809639, twelfth sheet of nineteen, read at the page image. Its running head sets three lines, quoted here separately because they are separate lines on the sheet: COMPLIANCE REPORT, then SOUTHERN TRUST COMPANY, INC., then As of December 31, 2017. The sheet is footed CONFIDENTIAL. The covering letter at the first sheet was read from the released text and NOT at the image. It is from the Virgin Islands Economic Development Commission’s Division of Compliance, is dated November 19, 2018, and is addressed to Mrs. Cecile R. de Jongh, described on the next line as Manager. The period the report covers is described rather than quoted, because the released text breaks the date range across two lines and this page does not join lines inside quotation marks: it runs from 1 February 2013 to 31 December 2017. The passage naming him is described rather than quoted, because quoting it would carry the immediate context of a name the producing party has withheld. The page does not name that person and says nothing about where any withheld value might or might not be readable. The two short phrases quoted from this sheet are Cashkim Z. Bussue and met the requirements of this special condition. Cashkim Z. Bussue is the only occurrence of his middle initial in the release, measured over the whole index. 96 ppi cannot reliably separate the letter pair rn from m, so the image is reported as consistent with the released text’s reading of his forename rather than as settling it; the sender column settles it independently 1,560 times. ↩ ↩2 ↩3

  10. The telephone invoice. EFTA00522587, eleventh sheet of eleven, read at the page image. A mobile account statement for the cycle 06/02-07/01/18. His line is listed as STC - Cashkim Bussue; the released text of the same row reads STC : C.ashkim Bussue, and both the colon and the stray full stop are faults of the released text that the image corrects. The same statement lists lines against LSJ SPARE CARD and, twice, LITTLE SAINT JAMES. No telephone number, account identifier, invoice number or monetary figure from this statement is reproduced on this page. The project’s own label for this document is a court exhibit list; its own classifier’s second choice was a telephone record, and the paper shows the second choice was right. The label is not relied on anywhere on this page. ↩ ↩2

  11. The earliest located message. EFTA00460686 p.1, read at the page image, header Date: Wed, 11 Oct 2017 13:11:41 +0000, subject Re: Phone service for STC. His entire message is the single word Noted. The underlying message he is answering is from the company’s controller and concerns the St. Thomas office telephone service failing. Every telephone number on the sheet is covered by the producing party; none is described or reproduced. This is the earliest message located, not the earliest that exists. ↩ ↩2

  12. The standard form. EFTA02558691 p.1, read at the page image, header Sent: Tuesday, December 5, 2017 7:16 PM, subject Dock, addressed to Jeffrey Epstein; Richard Kahn; and a third recipient covered by the producing party. The p=otos and Wa=m appear on the page image itself, so they are a fault in the produced document rather than in the released text, and they are printed unrepaired. The sender’s own address on this sheet is covered by the producing party and is not supplied. ↩ ↩2 ↩3

  13. The inspection message. EFTA00900686 p.1, read at the page image, header Date: Mon, 29 Jan 2018 18:35:24 +0000, no subject line, addressed to Jeffrey Epstein <[email protected]>. The released text breaks the line after However, I, exactly as the sheet does; it does not lose the rest of the sentence. The quotation here is the image’s, read at the page image, and the released text agrees with it word for word. The message names two colleagues by forename only. One of them, Brice, corresponds to the construction manager Brice Gordon in role, in the same threads and on the same telephone account, but this page quotes the forename as written and does not assert the identification. The other is not expanded here at all. The message does not say what the inspection was, and this page does not guess. ↩ ↩2

  14. The request to resume. EFTA02457534 p.1, read at the page image, header Sent: Monday, April 30, 2018 1:49 PM, to Jeffrey Epstein, copied brice gordon; LSJ GSJ; Cecile de Jongh. The = characters inside the quoted words are on the page image, a transfer-encoding fault in the produced document, and are not repaired. The sender’s own address is covered by the producing party. ↩ ↩2

  15. The fuel room message. EFTA01027762 p.1, released text only; not read at the image. Header Date: Thu, 24 Jan 2019 19:44:51 +0000, no subject line, to Jeffrey Epstein <[email protected]> and copied to six colleagues.

  16. The apology. EFTA01014916 p.1, read at the page image, header Date: Fri, 30 Nov 2018 15:49:13 +0000, no subject line, to Jeffrey Epstein <[email protected]>. I did not saw and I have decided take the initiative are as printed on the image and are not repaired. The sender’s own address is covered by the producing party. The message refers to directives sent to him the previous day; those directives were not located and are not quoted. ↩ ↩2

  18. were these taken today? EFTA02528591 p.1, released text only; not read at the image. Header Sent: Monday, February 12, 2018 11:28 PM, from jeffrey E. <[email protected]> to Cashkim Bussue, subject Re: Cottage. Not verified at the image. ↩

  19. The reply threads. Four chains were read in full in the released text: EFTA02449327 (Re: Gardening, 3 May 2018, Epstein and Brice Gordon replying above a Bussue photo batch), EFTA02471935 (Re: Ceiling Wood For Dock House, 17 April 2018), EFTA02518378 (Re: L51 Main Dock House, 26 June 2018, Richard Kahn to Epstein), and EFTA01009896 (Re: Fiber For D-Cell For Future GSJ Electric Water Lines, 31 December 2018). None of these four was read at the page image, and no words are quoted from any of them on this page. The observation that Bussue is not party to the decisions taken above his photographs is a statement about these four chains and the others among the 62 documents read, not about all 2,930. ↩

  20. The subject lines. Recovered by parsing the Subject: field from the first sheet of each of the 1,603 sender-side documents; 1,537 yielded a subject and 66 did not. No count of distinct subject lines is stated here, because the parse that produces one also captures field labels from sheets whose subject line is empty, and a figure resting on that parse would not be reproducible. The subject lines quoted above are reproduced exactly as the released text prints them, including Tress for trees and the full stop inside Rusty Gym Equipment Have Been Removed. The subject lines were read from the released text layer, not from page images, and a damaged subject line will be damaged here. 66 documents yielded no parsable subject. ↩

  21. The office post. EFTA00551388 p.1, released text only; not read at the image. Header Date: Tue, 04 Dec 2018 20:06:07 +0000, no subject line, to Karyna Shuliak. I have a correspondence came in the mail and advise on what should I do are as printed and are not repaired. One detail of the message is withheld here under this wiki’s standing rule and the page does not print it; nothing is said about it. Not verified at the image. ↩

  22. One writer. Tested two ways. By hand, across the 62 documents read, every sign-off from his account is Cashkim; no third-person reference to him appears in any message sent from it; and no other person signs from it. By screen, a pattern for third-person self-reference (Cashkim is/was/will/has/said/asked, on behalf of Cashkim, for Cashkim) was run across the whole sender-side population and returned nothing. The screen is crude and a null result from it is weak evidence; the hand reading covers 62 documents of 1,603 sender rows. The page claims one writer on the documents read and does not claim it of the population. ↩ ↩2

  23. Method and sample. 62 documents were read of the union of 2,930 - 2.1 per cent. They were selected four ways and the method is stated so the reading can be reproduced: (a) all 33 documents reached by the bare surname but not by the full name, examined as a set; (b) a reproducible random sample of 40 drawn from the 2,930-document union with the seed 20261106; (c) the documents at the extremes of the date field and the documents carrying the longest own-body text on the screen described above; (d) the four documents that establish his identity and employment. 13 page images across 12 documents were fetched and rendered at native 96 ppi by the documented route, whose controls were run in session and behaved as documented: a non-existent identifier returned HTTP 403 and 111 bytes of XML, and a real one returned HTTP 200 and a PDF. Nothing on this page rests on a document that was not opened. This is a thin pass over a large population and the page says so rather than dressing the measurement as a reading. ↩

  24. The pier and dock message. EFTA00949420 p.1, released text only; not read at the image. Derived date 20 November 2017. The quoted fragment Attached are the following pictures of the pier/dock on L.S.J is reproduced as the released text prints it, abbreviation and all. ↩
