"his premise IS wrong - there are tricks you can to do with magnetized components where you electrically massage the magnetized elements to go back to previous states of magnetization. you can recover multiple prerecorded states ... HOWEVER this technology is normally ONLY available to the 3 letter agencies"
Would that not presuppose Hunter had a HDD in his laptop, instead of the more modern: SSD?
Even without the 3-letter agency forensic tampering, with photorec you could retrieve quite a lot of date previously held on a device ..... It does take a hell of a lot of time. And some things are only partially retrievable (SSD)
Yes, I wonder about the compression scenario too. That leads to another question though, why would Hunter feel the need to compress files unless he knew he had to fit all the information on a hard drive that was too small?
Another thought would be, what if Hunter had a dropbox or other cloud host, where most of the files were there, but the links to access them all were on the computer? You can set how much storage you want hosted locally, even if the cloud storage is much bigger. Finding the links and the access to the cloud would be a way to find the files even if they don't all physically reside on the laptop. They're still all Hunter's files. There still all found on the laptop, either physically, or as a link to them.
My gut is also the neither Biden is "high" (ha) up the chain... just a couple of stooges... shoot maybe they aren't even fully aware of how they are being used? ๐ค
As I understand it, the whisleblower recovered 450g of "deleted" data.
In order to really make sure something is wiped, there's disk erasers that will write random 0's/1's onto a single driver sector 7+ times to make sure the data can't be retrieved. It'll garble and scramble the actual data since a disk can "remember" what was in sector up to 7 writes back.
Just because the disk capacity is 500g, doesn't limit accumulative 450g of "deleted" data, still retrievable from the disk sectors if the drive was never defragged.
If the whistleblower is working from a drive that's sector by sector disk copy, then it's possible he's legit got 450g of data that was previously overwritten.
Stole this comment on GP

I dunno :) Like I said, I stole the comment. Sounds like you know quite a bit about this stuff though !!
I was just a sucker who backed-up his shit too late and had to resort to photorec.
Depends, i regularly work with multi-gigabyte files that compress to 100's of mb.

Darik's Boot and Nuke
he says there was 300 gigs...think thats more than enough to hang the bastard
45 gigs, you say? Maybe it was really 1700 gigs.
What is he implying then?
Maybe the real reason Jack Maxey fled to Switzerland....
Yep took off before the World caught him out is my thoughts.
That is a fantastic contrast of stories right there u/TDU_Weight ๐๐ป
I just posted on your second link. This could get awfully crazy and quick.
