What are the odds this is fabricated, he goes into protective hiding somewhere, and they build a case against everyone else?

Unfortunately the guy is very likely dead and his secrets will die with him. I'd say there is a 97% chance he was murdered.

I don't think that's how it works, and I would think its likely that there will be a civil suit against his estate.


Could the prison be sued? Sure but I would think that it doesn't happen until after in an inquiry into how a guy on suicide watch managed to kill himself.

Where is the actual study? Your link links to another story that is a short interview maybe I am missing it but I don't see any research paper.

nvm found it the paper is here

That looks like a heavy read. On conspiracy theories yea I'd say people that actually believe them no matter the evidence to the contrary are a bit crazy, but at the same time some conspiracy theories turn out to be true.

I love me some conspiracy theories for the lulz for example the flat earth thing is comedy gold.

Back on topic a guy on suicide watch manages to hang himself and the security camera malfunctions. Seems legit.

It was my understanding, at least when Aaron Hernandez committed suicide in prison that all pending charges were dropped.

occam's razor screams foul play, this type of thing really burns me because it strongly suggests the hyper rich are above the law. Eg shoot a man in the middle of fifth Avenue. I hope there are some kind of meaningful consequences for such an absurdly obvious cover up. I'll be here waiting with baited breath.

Hm, according to the article below, he wasn't on suicide watch when he suicided this time. Which kinda makes sense, you aren't on suicide watch forever after one attempt. Still kinda suspicious this death, I'm thinking.

I wonder if they found a note signed by "Epstein's Mother" near the body.

So Epstein conveniently "killed himself" the same day court allegations of Prince Andrew's groping an underaged girl at Epstein's party get revealed?

Quote:
Prince Andrew was accused of groping a young woman’s breast at the home of wealthy financier Jeffrey Epstein, according to newly released legal documents.

The allegation surfaced in a cache of legal papers unsealed by a US judge in a defamation case involving Ghislaine Maxwell - a British socialite alleged to have supplied Epstein and his well-off social circle with underage girls.

FBI is investigating the suicide.

The FBI signaled it is investigating the death of disgraced billionaire Jeffrey Epstein after he was discovered dead in his Manhattan jail cell due to an "apparent suicide."
The U.S. Bureau of Prisons said in a news release Saturday that the FBI would investigate the apparent suicide.
