Epstein didn't kill himself. He might not even be dead.
The only issue I have with that is with the amount of wealth and connections he had, he probably would have disappeared himself before he was arrested. Unless someone even more connected felt the need to shut him up before he had the chance to use the dirt he had on people.
If he disappeared, people would pursue him. Given the compromising material on other wealthy and powerful people he likely had access to, it wouldn't just be western law enforcement, but potentially intelligence agencies of adversaries, criminal organizations, and the compromised individuals themselves.
I don't mean just disappear, I mean fake his own death prior to being in prison
That's a wild one.
