The Rules
Posts must be:

That's a good breakdown of the facts, but "Epstein didn't kill himself" is still useful as the headline for the article you essentially wrote here
Except for the fact that he did, in fact, kill himself.
He saw his future prospects of constantly being in and out of prison hospitals, as the other prisoners continually beat him, and chose instead to end it all.
The fact that it also screwed over his victims and made prosecuting his clients much harder is ancillary to the fact that he killed himself to get out of having his ass handed to him every day for the rest of his life.
It doesn't take a genius to see, but it does take a special kind of genius to see conspiracy and a clandestine murder in it.
