The final release of Jeffrey Epstein files triggered an explosive online controversy after a document showed a request to wire $11,438 to an account labeled “Baal.” The reference sparked claims of occult links, with social media users alleging connections to ancient child-sacrifice rituals and demonic worship. Some posts cited biblical descriptions of Baal, while others dismissed the name as a possible typo for “bank.” The files also revived unverified allegations of cult-like practices within Epstein’s circle and scrutiny over his acquisition of rare Kiswah cloth from Mecca. The revelations have fueled fresh conspiracy theories and intense debate across digital platforms.
