Lawrence Krauss → Rebecca Watson
Event Description
Lawrence Krauss explicitly requests modification of a prepared statement to add language minimizing victim status and extending victim status to Jeffrey Epstein himself, framing the situation as one where 'everyone was a victim, including Jeffrey here.. and there was no happy resolution.' This represents an attempt to reshape public narrative regarding allegations.

Indicators
Reasoning
This event represents sophisticated concealment through narrative control: Krauss explicitly rewrites a public statement to minimize victim recognition, frame the perpetrator as equally victimized, and remove references to accountability. This is textbook reputation-damage management of trafficking allegations and meets the concealment baseline (0.3-0.5) and exceeds it due to the severity of the underlying crime being concealed.
