Did Philippine gig workers help Jeffrey Epstein clean up his online image?

The Philippines is investigating allegations that Jeffrey Epstein hired a team of Filipino gig workers to scrub his criminal history from the internet and boost his reputation. Emails released by the US Department of Justice have prompted concern among Filipino lawmakers about the potential exploitation of the country's gig workers for shady online reputation management. The Philippines' Department of Information and Communications Technology-Cybercrime Investigation and Coordinating Centre (DICT-CICC) is reviewing the allegations in anticipation of inquiries from the Senate and House. The investigation aims to determine if any Philippine-based firms were involved in the work for Epstein, who was awaiting trial on sex-trafficking charges before his death in 2019.
