I was seeing some threads about 2 days ago on another site that Epstein had been secretly removed from the country... now those threads are all gone.

I have a hard time believing 1) They let him kill himself, 2) He actually went through with killing himself, and 3) That he wasn't under more intense watch

There's also the obvious motivations of so many people who want him dead... I'm sure they'll sweep this all under the rug though, and instead go with the "disturbed individual" angle now, and the rest of the pedo blackmail network gets away without consequence

I agree with points one and three, but two? He was likely going to get the maximum sentence if his plea deals failed, which is 45 years (essentially, life for Epstein) according to the press conference by Geoffrey Berman, the U.S. attorney, and he had many people who wanted to kill him. It's not implausible that he genuinely wanted to die in order to avoid sentencing or getting tortured by very powerful people.

But I agree with points one and three, and believe his suicide is very implausible.

By the way, his lawyer apparently proposed a maximum 5 year sentence if he named individuals. If this is true, it renders the suicide case as extremely implausible (as he would have at least waited for the answer), but this is only a suggestion by the OANN. Can further investigation be done into it?

The only reason I think 2 is unlikely, is because in 2007 he got off for about the same as he's in now. So if I were him, I'd have some expectation that I could eventually get out.

Plus if he did it himself, he would've had to have had the means by which to do it, and in max security prisons they don't allow that, especially if he was on suicide watch a week earlier.

With all the public attention to the case, I doubt they would do so. But it's possible he manages to bribe the jury or something to give him a good deal or find him innocent. Possible. I would at least try that, if I were him. Especially since only his properties are being forfeiture-d, I believe, but I am no expert in law. If indeed his money is forfeiture-d, (or he doesn't have enough money), it is unlikely the trial will be in his favour (unless the judge and/or jury are connected to him as well), so the only way to get a good deal would be to name others. If indeed the latter is the case (and the judge and/or jury aren't connected to him), or Epstein believed it would be the case, the only way he would think to get a good deal would be to give out names, which would put a target on him, and even if he legally got off, he would likely be in danger for the rest of his life. Wouldn't suicide be best if that is the case?

As for the means, I totally agree.

Luckily we were able to see these trials in comic book sketches.
