The US Department of Justice’s Inspector General is scrutinizing the release of Epstein investigation records. The market for an Epstein client list release by June 30 is at 6% YES, up from 5% yesterday.

The probe focuses on the January 30 release of over 3 million pages under the Epstein Files Transparency Act. The investigation follows the firing of Attorney General Pam Bondi, amid bipartisan criticism and global interest in the files’ contents. The June 30 market has ticked up as traders price in the possibility of further disclosures.

Trading volume in the June 30 market is thin, with $121 in USDC changing hands daily against a face value of $2,200. It takes $878 to move the price five percentage points, meaning a few large trades can shift the market significantly. The largest recent price move was a half-point increase over 24 hours, suggesting traders see some upside but aren’t committing heavily to a major disclosure.

The Inspector General’s investigation matters because it could surface additional documents or pressure the DOJ to release an official client list. At 6¢, a YES share pays $1 if a list is released by June 30, a 16.7x return. That’s a bet on DOJ transparency within 68 days.

Watch for statements from the DOJ and House Oversight Committee, particularly any subpoenas or court orders that could compel further release. Acting AG Todd Blanche’s next steps will determine whether this market moves meaningfully.
