Jeffrey Epstein appears to have purchased 330 gallons of sulfuric acid for his private island on the same date in 2018 when the FBI reopened investigations into his trafficking charges.
.........
The request on the sulfuric acid form reads: “x 6 55 gal drums sulphuric acid w/fuel and insurance charge for transport; materials for conductivity probes; replacement pH and cable – RO plant.”
