Jikipedia: The Wikipedia Parody Indexing the Epstein Files

A new Wikipedia parody has joined a growing ecosystem of tools designed to make the Epstein Files more accessible to the public. Jikipedia, launched in February 2026, catalogs individuals mentioned in documents released under the Epstein Files Transparency Act, offering searchable profiles of people connected to financier Jeffrey Epstein.

The tool represents the latest expansion of a project that began with Jmail, a Gmail-style interface for browsing Epstein’s released emails. Created by internet artist Riley Walz and Luke Igel, co-founder of Kino AI, Jmail launched in November 2025 and quickly attracted millions of visitors—accumulating an estimated 18.4 million visits by late November.

Following Jmail’s success, the development team expanded the project to include specialized databases. JPhotos indexes images from the released documents, while JFlights tracks Epstein’s flight records and Jamazon catalogs his Amazon orders. The addition of Jikipedia completes a comprehensive documentary archive, allowing users to explore the networks surrounding Epstein through multiple entry points.

The project emerged amid broader efforts to increase transparency around the Epstein Files. In September 2025, Bloomberg News independently obtained approximately 18,700 emails from Epstein’s personal Yahoo account, using cryptographic verification and external corroboration to authenticate the cache. These files, combined with releases from the House Committee on Oversight and Government Reform, have generated significant public interest and ongoing analysis.

The developers created these tools partly to counter Department of Justice claims that searching the releases was impractical due to “technical limitations,” making previously difficult-to-access documents searchable and navigable for researchers, journalists, and the general public.
