He knew too much.
The note that was mailed to Larry Nasser after his death seems very fishy to me. It was mailed and returned after his death. In it, he says he is taking the short road home. Nasser was the former Olympics coach that had been convicted of sex crimes against the Olympic girl athletes.
Also, we learn today that there were 10 others that were indicted and named in the documents released today. But, all that evidence was buried during the last months of Trump's first Administration. His Justice Department took care of business for him. We knew nothing about this part of the Epstein case?
Also, there have been several reports that the photos of Epstein's suicide were faked. I never thought much about that until now. Maybe they were "faked"?
And the note may have been written by "someone" else to make it appear that he had committed suicide, when in fact, he was murdered.
There is so much information that has come out today, we should be very wary about all of it.

And would think nothing of killing a friend and business partner to save himsel.

(115,042 posts)Epstein must have felt that he could always pull the strings and get out of prison? He had always done it before. But, he was sent to prison during Trump's presidency. With the documents made public today, it looks much more likely that he was murdered.

(79,383 posts)Especially when Trump dumped her in a grave on one of his golf courses.
But yes, more info is coming out about her role in the pedo ring.
The autopsy said blunt force trauma to her torso was cause of death.
How hard do you have to fall to cause that kind of damage and death?
Maybe it is all legit, but we at least have to ask the question especially in
light of some of the recent reports.
Yes YD it never stops.
The depravity has no bottom.

Wouldn't surprise me in the least.

RockRaven
(18,625 posts)that was not on his official published schedule? Might be relevant given that Barr was ultimately responsible, as AG and head of the DOJ, both for Epstein's presence in that jail and for the jail itself.
And notice that Barr and Epstein had a connection independent of The Dotard. Barr's father was headmaster of an exclusive/expensive NYC private school that hired Epstein -- who had no college degree and no teaching experience -- to teach math to teens. Epstein then gained a reputation for inappropriately socializing with his teen students, quelle surprise. Also around the time of the hire, Barr's father published a horny/pervy sci-fi novel whose plot involved child sex slavery.

AZJonnie
(2,700 posts)She was by far and away the most outspoken and threatening victim out there, and she sued people and testified and gave interviews over like 15 years. Seems doubtful she was suddenly a big concern in 2025. If she was going to be whacked, it logically would've occurred long before that
Also, her SIL has said her suicide tracks with her circumstances:
I would also add, based on the memoir she endured significant guilt over her own role in the recruitment of underage girls for JE/GM to prey upon. Combined with all the above her sister mentioned, and knowing the sexual abuse started when she was 12 (way before Epstein)? I have to say I'm quite unsure *I* could endure all that.
Brunel and Epstein, who knows for sure. But their lives were basically over, they were toast. And Brunel was in the clink awaiting trial for 14 months, during which time there were "several" previous suicide attempts. One could imagine depression setting in pretty badly over 14 months (not that I feel sorry for that asshole!).
Epstein died within 24 hours of the release of the files from the 2015 Maxwell defamation case, where Guiffre's testimony nailed his ass to the cross. That timing certainly makes sense for someone offing themselves. That said, I'd be unsurprised if he wasn't "allowed to" and given the tools/means. Perhaps by order of Trump. Perhaps that's one of the things he's terrified might come out?

(65,682 posts)He had mountains of "get out of jail free" cards and I believe his appeal to get out on bail was still pending.
I'd sooner believe he was still alive and in hiding/exile somewhere before I believed he killed himself. I'd sooner believe he was in witness protection before I believed he killed himself.
catchnrelease
(2,127 posts)I think it was on Bluesky but not sure now. It was saying 'Epstein Island sold to Mid East businessman' named Haadid Nahikil Muhssef. (I confess it took me a minute to catch that joke) and a photo of a man with a turban(?) and long white beard. But the face was very clearly Jeffrey Epstein under the 'disguise'. Alluding to just what you said--he's in witness protection somewhere, not dead.
I found a link---

(4,103 posts)His "clients" are super wealthy and wouldn't want to give up what Epstein supplied.
His supposedly dead body lying on a gurney for the cameras, just happened to conveniently reveal his face. If dead, the sheet would be over his face.
Wealthy pedophiles have no reason to kill themselves. He could be on any number of yachts in any sea currently indulging in his favorite pastimes. Girls and women are trafficked every day.

(2,322 posts)Simple details made suicide impossible for me to believe. First he was as much a narcissist as Trump. Narcissists rarely kill themselves.
Second, he knew too much about Trump while he had all the resources available to the President of the United States. Think through that for just a moment.
Then the strange issues with the guards who were not there and the cameras that were expertly disabled for just the right time period.
Then the motive. Epstein had the goods on Trump and probably telegraphed that to him.
The autopsy revealed things that wouldnt have been there in a simple jailhouse self hanging.
It goes on and on.
This is a demonstration of Occams Razor. When everything is brushed away and only one thing remains then that must be the truth.
This is a very Sherlockian story.
When I saw that Epstein had said in an email that Trump was the dog who didnt bark I almost spit my coffee across the room. How unintentionally apropos.
But how normal that this instinctively Machiavellian man Epstein would see what Trumps moves would be and that he was a walking dead man.

(10,894 posts)... the "letter" is fake, they said. First of all, the postmark is, what did they say, three days after his death? Means nothing, to me... are there post offices in prisons, to officially postmark letters? I had no idea! Why do prisoners get their mail postmarked so quickly and efficiently? AND, okay... their "handwriting experts" say it wasn't Epstein's writing. THEN, considering how the letter reads - the subject and details - they should know who the "forger" is, by now. I would have ordered DNA testing IMMEDIATELY. Letters are like crime scenes... licking the stamp, the flap, and whatever is inside!

I tend to accept her opinion. YMMV.

(20,422 posts)I believe such a plot would involve coconspirators at many levels, right down to other prisoners and individual guards on duty that night.
I also believe there's more to this story than what we know so far.
A secret is only good until two people know it and it's just a matter of time before someone comes forward

(6,168 posts)Spending the remainder of his life in prison as a sex offender is a big reason. Why would anyone want to continue living under such circumstances?
But I'm continually amazed at the people facing life in prison or even the death penalty who turn themselves in or allow themselves to be taken into custody without a fight.
I guess I'm just amazed at the people who are obedient and freely comply when their lives are effectively over.
