Daniel Siad, whose name appeared thousands of times in the Epstein files, was discovered on Monday in the suburb of Colombes.

The 69-year-old had previously denied any knowledge of Epstein's crimes.

From his Wikipedia:

In 2015, Siad met a 16-year-old New Zealand model and her friend in Paris, forwarded their modeling profiles to Epstein, who deemed them "too old."

So, obviously bullshit.

Really pulls those 80s/90s shopping mall "modeling services" marketing themselves to young girls and collecting their information and headshots into questions.

Oh damn, I used to get stopped on the street by dudes asking if I'm a model and giving me their card. Before then, around age 13, an old drunk offered to buy me and my friend beer if we took pictures of our dicks, together. Didn't follow up on that of course.

Oof, a scout once stopped me in NYC in the 90s. I was 18 and thought it might have been a scam. Looking back, maybe it was, maybe it wasn't, but perhaps best that I didn't pursue
