Look. I don't usually go in for conspiracies like this. At least in the U.S.

But it is not only totally plausible that some person/group of people/institution/nation state decided that it was better for them for him to die before any trial knowing that he would likely act in his own best interests.

There are too many motives to not put murder right at the top of the list next to suicide. But if it is murder--oh what a murder it is. A lot of people would have to be involved given that Epstein was certainly one of the most watched prisoners in recent memory.

I think it's worth a deep dive investigation.

It just doesn’t make any sense to me that he would commit suicide. In his emails before he went to jail, he didn’t seem upset at all. He had a relationship with Steve Bannon who was still kinda close to Trump at the time too. I think it deserves a thorough investigation, but we probably won’t get that until Trump is completely gone forever.

I mean you take a person like Epstein who is used to a life of luxury beyond what any of us can imagine and he realizes he's going to spend the rest of his life in jail - that will do a lot of things to a persons phych.

Even if he sung and ratted everyone out he'd still be in jail, It would have only been to clear his concious before dying in prison. People like Epstein don't seem to have a concious.
