I read Kirk McElhearn’s article I’m in the Epstein Files, which revealed that Jeffrey Epstein was a customer of my former employer Rogue Amoeba Software and a subscriber to their email list, which happened to mention Kirk’s book Take Control of Audio Hijack. Thus, I decided to search the Epstein files for my own name, and dear lord, I’m in there too! By the way, it’s ironic in this context how clicking a Yes button is all it takes to verify that you are 18 years of age or older.
Of course there are many Jeff Johnsons in the world, but the documents below do indeed refer to me.

These are the “About” windows from the Mac apps Airfoil and Airfoil Video Player (the latter now retired). I’m not sure how they specifically got into the Epstein emails, but in any case there are a number of emails from Rogue Amoeba to Epstein. The Justice Department failed to redact Epstein’s license key for Airfoil, which he purchased in August 2011, so perhaps Rogue Amoeba should invalidate that one.
My claim to fame was solving the Mac OCSP appocalypse. Appearing in the Epstein files is now my claim to shame.
On a political note, I’m astonished by how Epstein was at the epicenter of practically all power in the world, like the Pied Piper of the rich and famous. For a strange example, why was Epstein involved in arranging a meeting between Microsoft’s Steven Sinofsky and Apple’s Tim Cook? I suspect that there will never be a full reckoning for Epstein’s disgusting actions—not only his crimes but also his tentacled influence over world affairs—because even though Epstein is now dead, his former friends and allies remain at the highest levels of government and industry, eager to protect themselves and cover up their own misdeeds. It’s difficult to avoid conspiracy theories when perhaps the largest conspiracy we’ve ever known has been revealed. We should never underestimate the extent to which the most powerful people are organized, communicating and collaborating with each other. Don’t let them tell you that the world is a “meritocracy” based on individual achievement; that’s a cover story for the masses who are not invited or refuse to enter into the social circle of hell.
