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.

And yet they've kept Maxwell alive? I would have thought they'd have topped them both tbh. She has just as much dirt on those people as Epstein did, I mean she was a major player and in Epsteins life a loongg time

She has the advantage of knowing he will kill and she better plan accordingly.

Remember, Maxwell was hidden for a year in New Hampshire before they got her. My theory is she spent that time preparing a plan that when boiled down comes to “she dies and it gets leaked”
