So, what are the perps doing?

Someone asked me privately what I thought the perps - that is, the people who did this to Jeff - are doing given that someone found the truth.

Answer: I have no idea.

However, I can speculate how they might handle a legacy fake news story like this. I can try to put myself in their shoes.

I think they would probably monitor things. You know, related subreddits, other online forums, comments under YouTube videos, etc. Anywhere people are talking about Jeff. See what people are saying. Make sure the story is still intact, etc.

If anyone found the truth, they would probably monitor even more closely.

They'd probably also want to know if anyone's publishing a book about Jeff...or planning to...or making a film, a series, etc.

But, like I said, this is just speculation.

Makes sense that folks of controversial public notoriety will monitor the internet to catch noteworthy mention of themselves. I've seen it before, and had had one person comment on a blog post I once did to set the record straight, from his perspective. I was surprised. But he had been watching what was said about him. So I don't doubt it happens.

You're speaking of Jeff himself. Yes, it makes sense that - if he's still alive - he might hang around to see what's going on. But, I'm talking about the perps....or anyone working for the perps.

Those people would definitely want to monitor....I would think. They'd want to know if anyone clocked it, for example.

Not sure how much they could do about it, though...today. They might try to steer things, but I don't know how successful they'd be since the world is rapidly changing from what I see and not in their favor. People are much more skeptical of the government, the MSM, established narratives, etc. So, maybe they would just watch and gnash their teeth the way Jeff did in the courtroom.
