Being unfamiliar with his medical history, I'm going to wait before I start calling a neck break impossible.


Osteoporosis and all.

I’m of the mind that this could have really been a suicide, but boy was it awfully convenient.

Well, let us also remember that he was injured around the neck previously. Perhaps a break was easier because of that.

Frank violates Omerta by talking to the feds. A trial ensues. Through some "persuasion" he is convinced to denounce his previous testimony and cuts his wrists in a bathtub.

Ah, like the “assisted” argument I’ve heard some people posit. Frankly, would we ever really know the truth of it his death definitely?

I’m not clicking a link labeled that. You could get six affidavits that it was okay and every mod on this and three other forums saying it’s above board and I still wouldn’t click that link.
"...I have been gravely disappointed with the white moderate. I have almost reached the regrettable conclusion that the Negro's great stumbling block in the stride toward freedom is not the White Citizen's Council-er or the Ku Klux Klanner, but the white moderate who is more devoted to "order" than to justice; who prefers a negative peace which is the absence of tension to a positive peace which is the presence of justice; who constantly says "I agree with you in the goal you seek, but I can't agree with your methods of direct action;" who paternalistically feels he can set the timetable for another man's freedom; who lives by the myth of time and who constantly advises the Negro to wait until a "more convenient season." -MLK Jr.

Maybe they turn it all into a Musical someday. Or an Hollywood movie. Who knows. Depends though on how dramatic an eventual outcome will be. I mean they could even film on location. Epsteins Island seems quite deserted with most buildings in renovation as of recently, according to aerial reconaissance.

Not if you're in a single person cell, which to my understanding Epstein was.

That does not appear to be an accurate understanding.

The source also mentioned that Epstein’s cellmate had been transferred out of their shared unit, which is another violation of the jail’s procedures. At the MCC, it’s reportedly standard practice for inmates on suicide watch to be assigned a cellmate, a person to provide company for someone with suicidal tendencies and to alert guards for any emergencies that may arise, as Tartaglione once did.

Multiple sources told CBS News that Epstein's cellmate at the Metropolitan Correctional Center posted bail last Friday, leaving Epstein alone in his cell the day before he died.

Seems more and more like a government hit every day doesn't it? Makes you wonder what kind of dirt he had on who.

Eeeh, does it though? I mean, we're mostly seeing how broken and dysfunctional the prison system actually is. A lot of people are saying the only reason why people are paying attention now is because it was a rich and powerful man who died.

Here's an article from Reason titled "Jeffrey Epstein Is Dead Because His Jailers Neglected Him. He's Not the Only One", wherein the author attempts to show that the "serious irregularities" that the Justice Department suddenly uncovered are actually everyday occurrences within the Bureau of Prisons.

"Clusterfuck doesn't begin to describe the current state of the BOP, and it dates far beyond the Trump administration," David Safavian, deputy director of the American Conservative Union Foundation's criminal justice reform center, told The Marshall Project this week. "Anyone who thinks BOP is a high performing organization has never been inside a federal prison."


Here's 32 stories about death in prisons, giving more context concerning the utter shitshow which are the US prison system.

So, taking a step back, I'll also ask: When is the best time to kill yourself? Is it perhaps when your cellmate has posted bail and is no longer around? I would think so. So the fact that he was released on bail, in my view, does not strengthen or weaken the theory that Epstein was murdered at the present time.

Point is, given the utmost importance of Epstein, shouldn they have been employed special measures, and is the absence of those not in itself already rather suspicious? Willful negligence?

Was he, though? Of "utmost importance"?

He was rich and well-connected, sure, but that shouldn't lead to him being given special treatment. And while the crimes he's accused of are bad, I have a suspicion you'll find many worse people being kept in the same jail. (Let us remind ourselves that he started his stay at the MCC at the same time as mexican drug lord Joaquin “El Chapo” Guzman was staying there.)
