Recently, the DOJ published over three million documents, with over 2,000 videos and about 180,000 photographs related to the case of its late financier. Although, it was reported that the name of the Dalai Lama was mentioned several times in the enormous amount of data, which sparked confusion and controversy on social media. Nevertheless, authorities have restated that it does not mean that the presence in the files presupposes any kind of misconduct. The documents which are said to have been used are known to harbor unauthenticated allusions, emails, and documents that include many high profile people but they do not define direct participation in criminal activity.

The statement further highlighted that there was never an encounter, communication or relationship between his holiness and Epstein. The episode shows the ability of massive document leaks to drive speculation, which points out the need to interpret them carefully and report responsibly.
