        The incompetence of the US prison and justice system does that explaining just fine. For me to fully believe the theory, I’d need to think that our justice system is more malicious than incompetent.

      The city denied his request to be held pre-trial in the girls wing of the Crossroads Juvenile Detention Center and he just lost it.

      I think thats the most likely. We know most prisons are a shit show, and he preferred to take the easy way out rather than face the rest of his life in prison.

      Any surprise that a pedo is also a coward?

          Cameras were broken for an extended period of time

          Recorded video evidence for August 9 and 10 for the SHU area where Epstein was housed was only available from one prison security camera due to a malfunction of MCC New York’s Digital Video Recorder system that occurred on July 29, 2019. While the prison’s cameras continued to provide live video feeds, recordings were made for only about half the cameras. MCC New York personnel discovered this failure on August 8, 2019, but it was not repaired until after Epstein’s death. As detailed in this report, like many other BOP facilities, MCC New York had a history of security camera problems. ~DOJ Report

          Its not like the cameras were working until he was put there, then started working afterward (despite what people may tell you). There were known, ongoing camera problems for the whole facility…

          Just shows the typical incompetence in American prisons.

    • Correction: the CIA have enough technology right now to make someone “hung himself for being a pedo” 😉😉

      To be honest with the connections he had, did you really believe he will hang himself? He just pissed out someone in charge the most probably he was thinking about making some things public, so he got eliminated that’s it. I believe he was determinated to say something and he got no price. If he had any price it will have been achieved. So the only solution was getting rid of him.

      • Haha. Oops. Hanged, even.

        Nah I think he could live with it when it was a secret with his friends when he had money, and when he secured the non prosecution agreement with the feds he probably thought he got away with it all. But then the feds ripped up the agreement, tried him, convicted him, and he went to prison. Based on the conviction, new civil suits came rolling in and I think he realized not only was he completely fucked, but he would never be wealthy again.

        Yea you’re right. The real occams razor is that he probably pissed off someone with more power than him, probably through blackmail, and got himself killed.
