What is "New Yak" in the Epstein documents?

"New Yak" is an OCR (Optical Character Recognition) error where scanning software misread "New York" as "New Yak" when digitizing phone records. All instances appear in call logs from 2004-2006 where the same documents also contain correctly-read "New York, NY" entries, confirming this is a scanning artifact rather than a real location.

Why does "New Yak" appear in phone records?

OCR software processing scanned phone bills misread the letter "r" in "York" as the letter "k", creating "Yak". This type of error is common when scanning poor-quality documents, as the letters can look similar in certain fonts or when text is degraded.

Is "New Yak" related to the Epstein investigation?

No. "New Yak" has no connection to the investigation - it's simply a technical scanning error. The phone records show calls to/from New York City, which is relevant to tracking communications, but "New Yak" itself is just a misreading that occurred during document digitization.
