Idk everyone is doing the "he was killed but
Isn't it possible the guy was troubled and just actually killed himself?
Can't see the forest for the trees.
The problem isn't that this guy might have killed himself. The problem is that the death rate of whistleblowers is very high. That makes every individual case much more suspect, and should be held to higher standards of scrutiny. And they aren't. So we complain.
I'm just saying assuming this was a murder seems premature. Thinking this is sus makes more sense
There's also the possibility of him receiving threats so horrible he was coerced into suicide. "No foul play" just seems so incredibly unlikely.
its most certainly possible. but its also possible it was not since billions of dollars are at stake.
Yes I just mean that I wouldn't consider it a murder without any indication of it being one
People fall out of Russian windows everyday, no one know why.
People also kill themselves daily (well those who succeed do it just the once)
Sure, sure. Epstein surely did hang himself.
Maybe
He was a king pedo going to prison for the rest of his life and had tried kill himself before. I definitely would've tried to kill myself given the chance tbh
If you read up on that incident though, so many things had to go wrong for him to have an opportunity to do it while locked up that it's really hard to not consider foul play no matter what the prison or the government says about it.
Right. At best, he wasn't killed, he was just intentionally given the tools and time to do so.
There's a difference between him having been murdered and giving him the opportunity to kill himself. Second case would mean that he actually did hang himself
When you consider the billions that are at stake in cramming "AI" into computers, cars, phones, agit-prop generation and military hardware, I there's a non-zero chance that his death wasn't accidental. Maybe a second coroner's opinion is in order.
