Not that i'd ever want to talk to him, but I wonder what he thought of death given his wealth, power, and apparent obsession with eugenics, and the fact that he was facing life imprisonment. I wonder if he evee even thought about how long he wanted to live or how he would go.

Of course they had to falsify all the details and even got the dates wrong because he's still alive out there living his best life incognito happily ever after.

His location has been pinpointed to Tel Aviv Israel and here's a photo of him out & about incognito with his security cronies.

Even if it were true, i doubt JE would even have a small amount of power left. Everyone involved wants him to be the scapegoat and not them, so i would assume they would all want him dead, not alive and hiding somewhere

Agree but the photo is bullshit, it was generated with Gemini.

[-] UnderpantsWeevil@lemmy.world 38 points 14 hours ago

American Government under budget and ahead of schedule for the first time in living memory and y'all are out here complaining.

Incredible.

Damn conspiracy theorists... just because CCTV didn't have NTP enabled...

[-] patruelis@lemmy.world 35 points 20 hours ago

I don't think they have any shame or fear of repercussions. At this stage, the law doesn't apply to them.

[-] krzschlss@lemmy.world 3 points 13 hours ago

Of course not and it never did, the law is written by them.

Whoopsie

[-] crystalmerchant@lemmy.world 55 points 1 day ago

Lmaooo as if anyone really doubted that he was killed... I mean come on people.

[-] psivchaz@reddthat.com 3 points 15 hours ago

The only thing that makes me hesitate on that one is.. Trump or the Clinton's or whoever could have had him assassinated in prison, I don't believe they would have gone through the added effort of keeping him alive. He's gonna have a hard time sourcing kids now so why bother? Certainly not because any of the list of suspects values friendship or loyalty

[-] UnderpantsWeevil@lemmy.world 14 points 14 hours ago

Trump or the Clinton’s or whoever could have had him assassinated in prison

I'll never understand the theory that Hillary Clinton - a woman who hadn't held political office in over three years, had nothing personally to lose by Epstein yapping, and had no material contacts in the current federal government - managed to get this job done.

But Trump, the sitting President, with an upcoming reelection fight where he was underwater in the polls and surrounded by Epstein associates, was the guy who stood beyond repute.

Given the number of people Epstein touched, and the rank incompetency of both Trump and Clinton, I'd sooner put my money down on Thiel or Gates or even Prince Andrew as the mastermind. But dropping Clinton and Trump into the same lineup? Come on. One of them definitely had a bit more leverage with the fucking NY Prison Bureau.

[-] psivchaz@reddthat.com -3 points 10 hours ago

Yeah it's pretty far down my list too but I think the theory goes that Hilary wanted him dead because if he ratted on Bill then it would hurt her election chances. Plausible enough as far as motives go. Still, I agree that Trump is the obvious choice.

[-] UnderpantsWeevil@lemmy.world 10 points 10 hours ago

In 2019? Hillary was well past her expiration date by then.

[-] psivchaz@reddthat.com 5 points 4 hours ago

Oh Lord it's all blurring together on me. You're right. I don't get the theory either then.

[-] 0x0@lemmy.zip 4 points 14 hours ago

He was about to blow the horn, he became a liability.

[-] Buddahriffic@lemmy.world 2 points 13 hours ago

It makes sense if he had a dead man's trigger set to release a ton of files if he doesn't refresh some timer every x days. Guessing that the x days after his arrest were approaching and he was obviously unwilling to trigger a refresh where they could see it.

I kinda suspect that his arrest might have been a part of the fascist takeover plan. Before that, it didn't take much imagination to realize that it was more of a mutual destruction thing. If they expose someone, there's a good chance they'll talk about everything they know, which at the very least is that Epstein was running a child sex ring.

But his arrest changed the equation. Everyone knows about the shit anyone might try to tell them in retaliation. The main instigator is apparently dead while the other big name is fucking president. Also, the protection is more active, stopping information from being released rather than releasing information. "Work with us, we will protect you. Don't and we'll just let whatever happens happen."

[-] Rekorse@sh.itjust.works 1 points 13 hours ago

He was an idiot, whoever has the files is out of view, likely some sort of government intelligence employees. They were collecting blackmail, just not sure who for or if they sold or traded it.

Fun fact: Anybody can type any date they want into Word. They could have dated it March 15, 44 B.C., since that string of characters isn't document meta-data. When I worked at a law firm, it was common to create a new document by opening an older file, editing it, and saving it as a new one. Quite possibly, the legal assistant edited an August 9th press release to create the draft, and forgot to change the date before saving. Further, this press release comes from the U.S. Attorney's office, which is a different location, with entirely different staff, from the corrections center. It would make exactly zero sense to get the U.S. Attorney, much less the legal assistants, in on a conspiracy. Keep the number of conspirators to a minimum; that's like Conspiracy 101.

There's are a lot of odd circumstances around his death, but as evidence of something fishy, this is super weak.

[-] HeyThisIsntTheYMCA@lemmy.world 5 points 15 hours ago* (last edited 15 hours ago)

i'm trying to remember, wasn't Barr running the US Attorney's office? or was it just the bureau of prisons and the entire rest of the department of justice?

[-] febra@lemmy.world 1 points 12 hours ago

I personally don't know how the US government functions, but I know people that worked for various big insurance companies and they had a system in place with all the templates and things such as the date would be autofilled by it. I wouldn't expect the US government to just have a random folder with random templates that they pick and edit in Word.

[-] SwingingTheLamp@piefed.zip 2 points 12 hours ago

I know a guy who's an attorney, and he's worked for DoD, GSA, and SSA. That's just how they do it. That draft press release is very clearly a Word document, and while Word has templates and auto-update fields, well, lawyers are not tech people.

[-] CannedYeet@lemmy.world 1 points 12 hours ago

Keep the number of conspirators to a minimum; that’s like Conspiracy 101.

That's why I believe Bush did 9/11, but he kept it to himself. He didn't coordinate anything. He just pretended not to read the "Bin Laden determined to strike U.S." memo.

[-] Evotech@lemmy.world 14 points 1 day ago

I agree. It’s not like they would leak that they would kill Epstein to the person drafting press releases…
