On one hand I'm happy this fuck is dead, and I hope he did suffer.

On the other hand, we all know he did not commit suicide and got killed by the Pedoresident following the playbook of his BFF putin to try to save his fat orange pedo ass

    There's still the option that it was a faked death. That much wealth and power, if it could be done, that's who and when it would be done. I'm not giving it much credence without more evidence, but I've got no reason to think that it's not possible given the series of absurd happenings that morning.

    Somebody in Israel logged into Epstein's Fortnight account a few years after his supposed death, FYI.

    Is there any reason to believe it wasn’t hacked? If I’m murdered then my account being accessed doesn’t prove I’m secretly alive. Especially if I used insecure passwords like Epstein is reported to have done.

    It’s not impossible, but if he was still alive I find it hard to believe he’d just access it once and never again. Stupid billionaires with bad passwords probably happens all the time and we just don’t know about it because they’re not at the center of an international child sex exploitation crime ring.

    Trump's Twitter password was maga or something like that. After it got hacked I'm pretty sure it was maga2020 when it got hacked again

    See, this is my take as well - other people knew/guessed his passwords and used his account that way. Keeping him alive really doesn't do anything for the "it's all a coverup" story, especially when a LOT of his associates and contacts are getting tangled up in this release of his files. Additionally, this guy was talking so openly about manipulating markets, sex crimes, and all sorts of legal and quasi legal shit that I find it hard to imagine that EVEN IF he was connected to Israeli intelligence like has been suggested, EVEN IF he got spirited out of prison and away to Tel Aviv, I find it hard to imagine Mossad would want to keep such a DEEPLY compromised asset alive instead of driving him into the Negev and putting two bullets in the back of his head.

    I would bet a handler was checking the device and fucked up.

    That someone was exposed as a teenage "hacker".

    I used quotes because it was more social engineering and lying than any sort of hack.

    "hacker"... According to Epic, someone changed their handle to Epstein's handle that was exposed in the files. There was no hacking involved.

    I would absolutely believe it that he was walked out and flown to Israel where he lives as a hero of the pedo-genocide state, but his brother who identified his body is vocal about evidence it wasn't a suicide. I'm not sure what incentive he'd have to both lie about identifying his brother's body and making so much noise about it being a murder...

    I've been hearing that the "changed handle" thing isn't valid, because when an account handle is changed you can still see the original on the user's profile (and that wasn't the case for the littlestjeff account). With all the misinformation flying around, I have no idea about the accuracy of this though.

    Yeah, it seems implausible to me that such a gaping security hole would be in a hugely popular game that long, but I guess that’s also not impossible. Stupider things have happened.

    it’s a very common security issue. it’s usually not a problem because deletions aren’t very common: usually accounts are just inactive, and it’s not a problem that really effects the company itself so there’s no really big reason to focus on fixing it

    i’m not arguing either way on this specific case; i’d not heard about it until right now… but it’s pretty plausible from a software and security standpoint

    Imagine if he'd been one of the state of the union guests.

    Like when Andy Kaufman did an entire show at the Apollo with 'his grandmother' rocking back and forth in a chair off to one side, only to pull off the wig and it was Robin Williams (in his quietest role ever) all along?

    Man comedy has gone so downhill.

    Like there were the greats... Abbott, Costello...Kaufman, Belushi.

    Millennials got fucked again. Foxworthy. Dunham. Cable Guy. Eddie Murphy's later years. What have you done for me lately, Eddie?

    We could've kept Chris Farley, but he had to die. And without him, David Spade is worthless.

    Not impossible, but I don't see what advantage there would be to keeping him alive vs just getting rid of him entirely.

    A simple trade, destruction of evidence in exchange for his life. Mind you I'd still kill him regardless but I also wouldn't make any deal with slime like that to begin with.

    I'm guessing a guy like that who traded in relationships and secrets would be smart enough to set up a dead man drop in the event he goes quiet for too long. It keeps his life valuable.

    That would make sense if he wasn't arrested, convicted, interrogated and with a mountain of evidence in the hands of the FBI. A dead drop isn't going to keep you alive if the person who wants you silenced thinks you're already spilling the beans.

    But even if that's the case he's alive until he clears the dead drop because he'd still be a loose end.

    That too. Really it would depend how stupid he and his handlers were/are, I can't really make any statements on stupid or smart rich assholes are though since I come from a place of assuming everyone of these profligates are universally just above braindead.

    Who knows.

    Like someone else said there might have been a dead man's switch ready to release all the kompromat.

    Death is obviously very final, if he's stashed somewhere then you could wheel him out to testify although I can't really think of a circumstance where that would be advantageous.

    I tend to think murder is the far simpler objective and therefore the most likely.

    Does it still count as suicide if they hand you the rope and tell you this is the easy way out and if you don't play ball they'll make sure it's painful?

    The only threat they needed to make was a return to general population.

    I seem to remember him being attacked by another inmate. Instead of being put into protective custody he was put on suicide watch, which is its own kind of hell.

    So, he changed his will to fuck over his victims, and is suddenly pulled off suicide watch.

    The only two people needed to then make sure Epstein was dead would be the warden probably Epstein's own lawyer. Maybe the psychiatrist who signed off on the removal from suicide watch... But the suicide watch wasn't initially justified, so pulling Epstein off it wouldn't seem strange.

    Hell, if you were a clever, high placed official in the DOJ, an example being Bill Barr, you could simply tell the warden to "put some pressure on the pedo" and then use the lawyer to deliver the real message of "kill yourself before we put you into the general population".

    Then you get a dead loose end and no record of illegal activity inside the prison. Also you only have to buy off a single person who likely already has questionable morals.
