they simply don’t have to care. in a similar way where jobs was wearing jeans and black shirt while everyone around him was saluting in suits. he didn’t have to.

also these messages were supposed to be private, lot of our signal/whatsapp chats also look less professional than work emails.

Were these emails encrypted? I thought that regular email is basically public, like sending a postcard. Or is that not the case anymore?

iirc it’s tls secured between client and server and again between servers. So no e2ee, but if you trust your provider, everything should be good.

iirc law enforcment regularly forces providers to reveal content of client’s mailboxes.

but if you trust your provider

Which you should never do. They might look good and safe today, but all it takes is a subpoena or a change in management and they will spill all the secrets. Most likely past and present.

Basically, don’t do illegal shit over unencrypted forms of communications. But the billionares are not the smartest people, or Epstein thought he was protected enough that keeping a record of his co-conspirators and their crimes would protect him.

Or, if you do want to do illegal shit over unencrypted forms of communication, use your own encryption layer on top, so you can actually be 100 % sure that there’s real E2EE. This is the way e-mail encryption was meant to work, before someone added TLS to the standard and everyone thought it’s OK as they trust the e-mail service provider.
