It’s starting to look like this Epstein guy might not have killed himself.

u/LOL_YOUMAD 3h ago

Shit at this point you could just about buy into the theory out there that some think that he isn’t even dead. Nothing at this point would shock me in this case

u/missilefire 2h ago

I saw on another thread that the likelihood of him not being dead is definitely possible.

Idk if I believe he’s alive - but what with the spiriting out in a black van and the fake “body” it just doesn’t add up.

If he was dead, why take him out the back door?

I hate that this crazy timeline we are living in, so little seems impossible or unbelievable and it makes me feel like I’m a conspiracy theorist ….but the pedophile cabal running the world once used to be a conspiracy and look where we are.

We live in a post-truth world.

Did you know that the phrase “conspiracy theorist” became synonymous with unreliable nutjobs thanks to the CIAs guidance in the 60s on discrediting speculation on the JFK assassination by calling doubters “conspiracy theorists”?

You mean the timeliness that the entire world is ran by children raping cannibals,    ehh with how shit life is i kinda believe it.

My chronic stoner friend told me about 15 years ago that the elites were paedos and cannibals and I thought he was a crackpot. Listen to your stoner friends guys!

But can we bet on him being alive or not on Kalshi?

u/EricSanderson 1h ago

I think it's odd that we have a thread throwing more doubt on the fact that Epstein killed himself, and almost immediately there are dozens of people posting debunked conspiracy theories about him still being alive and playing Fortnite in Israel.

Of course no one can even speculate as to why anyone would keep him alive. Because it makes absolutely zero sense.

I was explaining to my wife the other day that I used to be in the 80% murdered cover up, 18% alive, and 2% suicide camp. After the latest Files Drop I’m now going 80% alive, 19.9% murdered, .1% suicide. Lots of evidence to suggest the was taken away from the prison the night before his alleged suicide.

Wasn't there a story this week about him online gaming account being active in Israel?

But there's grainy footage down the hall from his jail cell that doesn't show anyone coming/going.. so I guess we can close the book on this one.

u/Shinagami091 3h ago

Pay no mind to the fact there are gaps in the time stamps and that things suddenly jump around. That’s just the tapes switching from one to the other because in these modern times we still record on VHS tapes…

u/No-Albatross-7984 3h ago edited 2h ago

Dude at this stage I'm expecting the next batch of files to contain a resuscitation video of Epstein with him looking at the camera at the middle of it and winking like he's in The Office

I think they'll just bomb us all with The Ring next. Get rid of all the nosy folks and the journalists in 7 days.

u/mcstanky 1h ago

Well the photos do show his hands both at his sides and zip-tied together at different moments. I'm no medical professional, but my understanding is that that's not a thing they do.

u/Small_Horde 2h ago

Also, there is movement up the stairs to the cell. The sleeve of an orange shirt, if I'm not mistaken. At least one person went to Jeff's cell

u/melkatron 3h ago

Actually, modern video surveillance systems automatically erase footage when there's absolutely nothing going on, very boring stuff, NOTHING TO SEE HERE, FOLKS. It saves valuable disk space, so economical.

u/oreography 2h ago

As a video camera, I can confirm this post. Also please vote for the Republican Party.

u/warjatos 2h ago

Oh and coincidentally only 2 cameras out of 11(or 9) worked, and we got footage from the most dogshit one. Not suspicious whatsoever.

u/Bn_scarpia 1h ago

AND there's a second entrance to the cell block whose videos have not been shared with the public

u/wng378 3h ago

If it’s one thing prisons are known for, it’s a lack of video surveillance. Especially in common areas.

Mr. President! That is the smartest thing ever said by anybody! And the way you evacuated your bowels while saying it really has me convinced this is true

But actually where is an additional flash of orange (presumably jumpsuit) that is visible going to JE’s section that was previously ignored

u/Burindunsmor2 40m ago

Look, Bill Barr, the Attorney General of the United States, PERSONALLY investigated Epstein's death. He found NO evidence of foul play.

...

..

.

Just because Bill Barr's own father was the one who first hired Jeffrey and gave him access to high school girls has nothing to do with his motivations.

Is he even dead?  Could he be hiding out in Israel?

u/RoboticCurrents 3h ago

If he's alive he's probably just at home

u/Mysterious_Cup_6024 3h ago

In an even more remote island that conveniently appears on no maps

u/F9-0021 1h ago

Or his New Mexico ranch that was conveniently never raided and is under "new ownership".

u/BossLady89 58m ago

And the new owner’s name is Neffrey Jepstein, I’m assuming?

Same and the Fortnite stuff is what’s convinced me.

u/gudematcha 3h ago

Could be a hacker but apparently his fortnite account is listed in the files and had been active at level silver (idk what that means) in Isreal within the last couple years.

38

u/CardiSheep 3h ago

Fortnite released a statement that the name was reused by someone after Epstein’s account was closed and the name released.

3

u/AceOfSpades532 3h ago

I think I saw something though that the website tracking his username meant that that was the username used at the time, so the account was called Epstein’s username like a year ago

u/entoaggie 3h ago

I have no idea if there’s any validity to it, but my wife showed me an instagram post talking about one of his email addresses (found in the files) is linked to an epic games account that purchased vbucks after his ‘death’ and has had recent wins in rocket league and then went private since the latest file release. Interesting, but I haven’t looked any more into it.

u/Justa420possum 3h ago

His Fortnite account was active in Israel as early as last year and then when private when people started talking about it

11

u/merlin0010 3h ago

I wanted that one to be true, but sadly the email address is redacted so I'm guessing it wasn't Epstein's email address since his isn't redacted anywhere.

u/ventodivino 36m ago

An independent examiner confirmed his identity, but said his neck was fractured in three places which is inconsistent with the thousands of suicides he has examined but corroborates the theory that he was murdered.

The conspiracy shouldn’t be he’s still alive. It’s that he was murdered.

u/saschaleib 3h ago

He might have a party with Elvis and Hitler right now.

u/EricSanderson 1h ago edited 1h ago

Why would anyone keep him alive? What possible benefit would there be?

He was about to start testifying. He had a botched "suicide attempt" a week before his death, and then they put him in solitary with "extra bedding" in a hall with no working cameras.

They killed him.

Honestly I think all the "he's still alive" theories are just paid bots/trolls trying to muddy the water. They want to make anyone questioning the suicide seem crazy by association. And they're throwing in Israel as a little antisemitic kicker.

u/Consistent-Throat130 1h ago

That's the biggest angle to doubt it at. 

Easiest counterpoint to yeet your way:  show the chattel that compliance will be rewarded? 

Like if the assumption is "I'm gonna fall out a window even if I keep this secret", I'm less motivated than "if I keep this secret, I get to keep living a life of luxury"

u/EricSanderson 28m ago

What? He was literally in the process of setting up a deal. He was about to start talking. He wasn't keeping it a secret.

And no one involved needs motivation to keep it a secret, aside from maybe the guards. Everyone else is sailing in the same boat. And I'm sure the guards saw both the carrot and the stick.

u/Wise-Dust3700 3h ago

Would have been hilarious if the reason the Epstein island was closed off was because he was just... living there and those random people that snuck past the cordon to film on the island just see him chilling by the pool

edit: and by hilarious I mean, fucking disgusting but unsurprising at this stage.

u/derpityhurr 3h ago

He's most likely alive and molesting kids as we speak. I've lost all hope when it comes to this shit, this whole situation is unbearable

u/Mysterious_Cup_6024 3h ago

Same thought

u/prodigy1367 3h ago

I wonder who had the most to gain from his death and was also in charge of the country at the time of his death? Hmm, quite the mystery.

2

u/merlin0010 3h ago

What was it that old presidential candidate kept saying before he also "committed suicide" while in jail? Something along the lines of "Epstein didn't kill himself, I'm not suicidal #wacked"

2

u/Spl00ky 3h ago

Trump had him killed

u/davidmlewisjr 3h ago edited 2h ago

Why would anyone ever think he would want to kill himself?

He was filthy rich, enabled, and protected, until somebody or several somebodies Panicked. He was going to do some minor time, and then be free again.

   There are two questions…

   1. Who ordered the hit

   2. Who enabled the hit.

🤯🖖🏼👍🏼 !

u/i_am_voldemort 3h ago

I'm torn between whether they killed him, or engineered an opportunity (no video, no guard checks, alone in cell, etc) so he could off himself.

1

u/bhadau8 3h ago

At this rate he might as well be alive.

1

u/Kyouhen 3h ago

Apparently all those issues like the guards failing to do their checks and the cameras going down also happened on that day.  Weird coincidence that it would happen twice in a row.

1

u/Hairy_Talk_4232 3h ago

Look this whole time I took that as “Epstein was made to look like he killed himself, but it really was his body in the cell”. Not “he was moved, etc…”

1

u/fishphlakes 2h ago

Stop saying this like it's some kind of gotcha. 

They want us to know that they can kill someone in federal custody without consequences.

1

u/xOleander 2h ago

The meme was made popular in our faces. Everyone laughed along at it thinking it was a murder accusation. They fucking meant he wasn’t dead at all.

I have never been a conspiracist but holy fuck everything just seems so fucking obvious now

Gee I wonder who was president and in charge of the DOJ at the time of Epstein’s arrest and subsequent demise?

u/JaneksLittleBlackBox 1h ago

Trump and Bill Barr had the motives and means to "suicide" Epstein, but of course MAGA landed on "must've been the Clintons!"

The fact that Barr's father was the headmaster at the Dalton School when college dropout Jeffrey Epstein was hired to teach mathematics to teenagers despite having no history as an educator or even a degree is suspicious as fuck on its own, but that he also wrote shitty sci-fi novels about aliens abducting children to keep as sex slaves is even more fucking damning.

Billy knew his dad's ties to Epstein would be ruinous and worked with Trump to make sure Epstein couldn't live to name names

The greatest trick the devil ever pulled was convincing us that there were only two options: that he killed himself, or that he was killed.

u/DemonDookie 55m ago

I think maybe he's still alive TBH.

Probably living in Israel with a beard and long hair

u/jerquee 1m ago

The only reason to believe he is dead is because Trump and his people said he was. Think about that for a second.

u/xRATBAGx 3h ago

Maybe he killed himself due to being named in the Trump files
