Jeffrey Epstein’s Suicide is Very Suspicious to, Like, A LOT of People
As news of Jeffrey Epstein‘s apparent suicide spread on social media, the theme that quickly emerged was suspicion or shock at the failure of prison personnel to prevent it.
The wealthy financier and sex offender was found dead in his Manhattan jail cell, where he was awaiting trial for federal sex trafficking charges.
Verified Twitter users were quick to point out that Epstein apparently managed to end his own life while on suicide watch after a previously failed suicide attempt.
Unbelievable and suspicious. https://t.co/fohGJRux0W

Wow it sure is convenient for a large number of the nation’s richest and most powerful people that a man who already tried to hang himself once was allowed to do it a few days later while under government supervision. https://t.co/0gAcUrB2oa

Inmate suicides are almost always preventable, and Epstein attempted last month. Huge failure by the feds here. https://t.co/Ns0zqUauh5

2. To die by suicide in federal prison, particularly after he attempted it once before, is a massive scandal.
Survivors of Epstein’s predation have been robbed of their right to seek justice.

4. There are cameras everywhere in MCC where Epstein was locked up. It shouldn’t be hard to figure out how this happened.

Others were more overtly conspiratorial.

Epstein had already attempted suicide once, apparently, so at the bare minimum a lot of back were conveniently turned.

A guy who had information that would have destroyed rich and powerful men’s lives ends up dead in his jail cell. How predictably…Russian.

The one thing we know for sure is that Jeffrey Epstein is dead.
