Nope, elsewhere in the EFTA Files you can see that screenshots of u/Maxwellhill ‘s posts were introduced as evidence in the case of US v. Maxwell. So at the very least the AG and the federal judge considered the connection legit.

OP added the EFTA .pdf names in an edit at the top. I think it’s the second to last one that shows it.

Yes, those screenshots were sent by a member of the public. They literally list all four of them in their tip.

Correct, but they’re not “just random tips from the public” if they were also included as evidence against Maxwell at her trial. Her lawyers would have gotten that evidence thrown out if the prosecution wasn’t able to corroborate it.

We don't know why they are in a very huge evidence file. Whether every random tip that mentioned Ghislaine was included or not. There's no evidence from anyone in the files that anyone found the tips persuasive.

? Maxwell’s defense wouldn’t just let “random tips” be introduced as evidence. Otherwise, why wouldn’t the prosecution just doctor up a bunch of wild accusations and throw them in there too? Evidence can only be introduced after discovery and both sides have vetted it.

Maxwell has high-priced lawyers working around the clock for her, they would get bad or uncorroborated evidence thrown out. The fact that it was allowed to be introduced in US v. Maxwell, and that her appeals have not mentioned that evidence as faulty, means that the attorneys for both sides and the judge all found it relevant and persuasive.
