FBI investigating.

Poetrooper sends us a link about the apparent suicide of accused sex trafficker Jeffery Epstein. He’s calling it “Arkancide” and he may be right. Epstein had a previous attempt and was under a 24 hour suicide watch. From the article:

By Andrew Court For Dailymail.com

Jeffrey Epstein has hanged himself inside his New York City jail cell.

The billionaire pedophile was found in cardiac arrest shortly before 7am on Saturday at the Metropolitan Correctional Center in lower Manhattan.

The 66-year-old was rushed to nearby New York Downtown Hospital where he was pronounced dead.

In a statement, Metropolitan Correctional Center told DailyMail.com that the FBI is now launching an investigation into Epstein’s death.

Epstein was awaiting trial on charges of conspiracy and sex trafficking and was being held at the high-security complex without bail.

The financier – who once boasted high-profile friends including Prince Andrew and President Bill Clinton – was arrested on July 6, accused of arranging to have sex with dozens of underage girls at his residences in New York City and Florida between 2002 and 2005.

He had plead not guilty to the charges.

The shocking news of Epstein’s death comes just two weeks after he was hospitalized following a first suicide attempt inside his prison cell.

~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~

Meanwhile, the billionaire’s death comes just 24 hours after the court unsealed more than 2,000 pages of documents detailing the lurid allegations of his sexual abuse of underage girls.

On Friday morning, a federal appeals court made public explosive documents pertaining to a 2015 lawsuit that Virginia Roberts Giuffre had filed against Epstein’s associate, socialite Ghislaine Maxwell.

Giuffre claimed Epstein and Maxwell kept her as a ‘sex slave’ in the early 2000s, whilst she was underage.

The unsealed papers – which made international news on Friday – implicated a number of high-profile men in sex scandals.

He’s beyond any punishment now, but the client list remains here. I don’t think this anywhere near over. The rest of the article may be viewed here: Daily Mail

Saw this coming from a mile away. Not the least bit surprised.

Even Ray Charles saw this coming…

Whitey Bulger said from the grave:

DOJ says there will be a thorough investigation. I think this is a job for Muel-ear. I hear he is unemployed and available.

11B-Mailclerk

Robert Blake and OJ Simpson will provide guidance on seeking the real killer.

3/10/MED/b

That is correct. He tried to hang himself.
Twice.

Kinda like those who shoot themselves in the back of the head.
Twice.

Ex-PH2

One less scum to feed.

Poetrooper

True, Ex, but look at it this way–all those women who might have had a chance to face this bastard in court to see justice done, have now had that opportunity taken from them forever.

There’s an injustice in that I find hard to balance with him getting off so easy, even if, as we all suspect, he was murdered to silence him.

I would gladly feed the scum-sucker for perpetuity to see him brought to justice and to live long enough to expose all those other powerful politicians and wealthy social elitists who took advantage of young women.

HMCS(FMF) ret

I wonder if he doesn’t have more info hiding somewhere that would back up any claims made so far and implicate others? It wouldn’t surprise me if he did as an “insurance policy”.

Ex-PH2

I did think of that, Poe, but even if he’d been brought to civil court and made to cough up some cash, he’d go right on committing these heinous acts and even his deep pockets would barely be touched.

Poetrooper

I would much have preferred or him to live in lifelong captivity, with his continuing existence keeping a lot of evil, powerful people sleepless at night for a long, long time.

Those assholes are all breathing much easier now because while the girls might have knowledge of some criminal acts, ol’ Jeff likely had much more such incriminating knowledge. He may have possessed a possibly encyclopedic in scope body of evidence, considering he was reputedly a genius level intellect. A memory like that had to be scaring the living hell out of a lot of powerful people.

You forgot the Russians!

Fyrfighter

That falls under Trump…

akpual

How about it’s Bush’s fault.

Fyrfighter

That’s so 2008-2016 AK…

rgr769

Morning Joe Scarborough is already tweeting that the Ruskies did it. There must be some way the D-rats can hang his death on Trump. I know it was a Russian gangster that killed him on orders from Trump.

Mason

Saw that. He is officially over the edge and into tin foil hat crazy territory now. Seeing Russians behind everything is a lot of paranoia.

For a guy who may or may not have killed his intern, he probably should keep his effing mouth shut on the murder conspiracy theories.

Sea Dragon

Too many very powerful people had a compelling interest in making sure he never spoke about them. It was not suicide unless he was given the means and the opportunity…while on “suicide watch.”

26Limabeans

Often times “suicide watch” means just that.

rgr769

Supposedly, someone decided to take him off suicide watch less than 24 hours before he was found unconscious in his cell. Very, very interesting. Add another death to the Arkancide list which is around 60 now.

Poetrooper

As some wag said over at American Thinker, he was on suicide watch alright:

“One suicided him while the rest of them watched.”

Roh-Dog

Can a government agency —other than the FBI— put the guards into protective custody before they have accidents/incidents too?
Those kind of coincidences I will not abide.

Fyrfighter

Is there actually anyone in the world that’s surprised by this? I do believe that Poe has it nailed, though I am hoping there’s some interesting names in those 2000 pages that may still bring the truth to light.

On a related note a serious investigation needs to be initiated into the folks that were supposed to be conducting the “suicide watch”, as well as anyone supervisors, to include their finances…

Mustang Major

I bet Epstein was the most surprised by his suicide.

Tallywhagger

Cintonicide. Bet this one cost them a bundle!

Tallywhagger

That would be Clintonicide.

Berliner

If you’re surprised that Jeffrey Epstein committed suicide this morning…
Imagine how surprised he must have been.

Tallywhagger

Amen.

Helpfull Medal

TAH: “Kill all traffickers of young women!”

Clinton: Actually does it.

TAH: “No, not like that!”

Jeff LPH 3, 63-66

I don’t think that he was on a suicide watch.

LC

Who the fuck took this guy off suicide watch?

Fyrfighter

Definitely something that should be looked into, as well as the “why”…both their explanation, and the truth..

Poetrooper

Better question LC, is why the fuck wasn’t he under HEAVY witness protection?

3/10/MED/b

I am treading on dangerous ground, but here it goes…
“DOUBLE SECRET HEAVY WITNESS PROTECTION?”

Sorry, Poetrooper.
I had to do it.

GDContractor

Probably the same government that thinks they can protect us by interdicting citizens who exhibit “red flags”.

Fjardeson

LC: That’s my favorite question. The easiest way to get rid of Jeffrey would be to put him in a position to off himself. Much easier than a murder, and no pesky perpetrators to knock off afterwards. We’ll never see it, but boy, that psych evaluation that got him out of suicide watch and back to SHU… wow…

Also, here comes security camera malfunction – mislaid discs/tapes – computer virus in 3, 2, 1…

JTB

He wasn’t going to testify anyway…

rgr769

If he was going to “grass” as the Brits say on the rich D-rat swells, who in the corrupt Deep State DOJ/FBI would utilize that testimony?

Skyjumper

(Last recorded comment from Epstein’s cell)

Guard: “Jeff, do you want to go to the rec room for for a bit?”

Epstein: “Naaaa thanks, I think I’ll just hang around in my cell for awhile”.

Too soon?? (grin)

3/10/MED/b

No Sir, not too soon.
That was damn funny.

Request permission to steal, over;

Ex-PH2

Was this slimy slimemold found hanging from something in his cell? Or had he “swallowed” something smuggled to him?

Hondo

So, the owner of the “Lolita Express” went and offed himself, eh?

At times like this, I’m reminded of Bette Davis’ epic snark on hearing of Joan Crawford’s death:

“You should never say bad things about the dead, you should only say good . . . . Joan Crawford is dead. Good!”

I trust the necessary modification to the quote for this case is obvious.

Poetrooper

Now that I have lived well into my eighth decade, I have come to appreciate the sentiment of that quote.

Nice suicide watch.

My fat thumb hit the wrong button. I was trying to hit the link and hit the report button by mistake.

26Limabeans

Just wait until the autopsy says heart failure.

Tallywhagger

They will buy the ME, the ambulance techs, pathologist, lab work, all of it will be “arranged”.

Nobody saw shit, nothing happened, he died of natural causes while trying to give himself a BJ.

Hack Stone

Nope, just a sever case of The Little Rock Flu.

Hack Stone

Severe. Hack Stone Publishing regrets the error.

The Other Whitey

On the one hand, good riddance and may he burn in Hell. On the other, how convenient that he suddenly stopped living so quickly after he started naming names that are generally suffixed with (D)…

A Proud Infidel®™️

Good Riddance to Epstein. He won’t face the Law in this life, he’ll face Justice in the next.

Dear Judge, Jeffry won’t be in today.
Epstein’s Mom.

Fyrfighter

Hahahaha

11B-Mailclerk

…………………what?

David

…..where?

11B-Mailclerk

Oooh! Oooh! Mr Kotter!

GDContractor

Oh, I know what’s going on here. Did Jeffrey put you up to this? What a practical joker. I mean, I was just talking on the phone with him last night. He said he was making a pot for me.

11B-Mailclerk

Well, now we know if his testimony would have put one or more Clintons in prison.

rgr769

The New York Post has published an article with an interview with a white collar crook who did time in the same cell block as Epstein. He says it was impossible for an inmate to commit suicide in those cells. He says you can’t hang yourself becuase your bed sheets are made out of paper; he says there is no way Epstein could have killed himself.

Ex-PH2

I hate to spoil the fun, but: On July 23, Epstein was found unresponsive in his cell with marks on his neck that suggested he may have attempted suicide. He was hospitalized, then returned to his cell, where he was set to be monitored. – Business Insider

The Business Insider article also says: Suicide attempts are often successful when an inmate is kept in a cell with “anchoring devices,” a National Institute of Corrections report found.

All it takes is five short minutes when no one was looking at him.

Ret_25X

While it is fun to think about all the possibilities, here is a question no one is asking….

Why would he commit suicide this time? What material condition is fundamentally changed?

Glad you asked!

The condition that has changed is that someone other than Bill Clinton can be found out.

My suspicion is that one of the DNC’s top women might be on the “friends list”….

Ex-PH2

Could be that whatever is in those 2000 pages of documentation have the names of people who would have offed him in a heartbeat and made it look like an accident. And I don’t mean the Clintons.

A Proud Infidel®™️

I’m sure that there are at least a few.

3/10/MED/b

“Perpetuity”.
Great word.

Also saw “Cacophony” recently, another great word.

I knew what “perpetuity” meant, had to look up “cacophony”, and thought I heard something…

Peace to all

Hack Stone

On the positive side, he is still expected to cast his vote in the upcoming election.

E-4 Mafia 4 Life

Tupac arranged for the faked death.
Epstein will soon collaborate on the upcoming Tupac Album, “$tranded On Lolita I$land.”

Hack Stone

Hack Stone doesn’t want to be a dick, but shouldn’t the headline read “Jeffrey Epstein dead from apparent self-murder in Manhattan jail cell”?
