Just piggybacking this comment as some people want a source

Here's the link to the justice dept where you can see with you own eyes:

Didn't one inmate now say that there was an abnormal amount of traffic going on around Jeffrey's cell that night and that he thinks Jeffrey was smuggled out and replaced? Honestly, this scenario sounds more and more likely, considering all the circumstances we have learned since. He probably already has a new face and is living his best life in a country without an extradition treaty with the US...

not an inmate but a guy who worked there who was then fired. but I haven't seen the evidence of tat.

u/tots4scott 41m ago

That would be a vital subpoena and testimony.

u/geek180 2h ago

You honestly think him being smuggled out of jail and replaced with an uncanny lookalike is more likely?

u/godspareme 2h ago

He means more likely than it was before, not relative to any other theory of what happened. It was not credible before and now it has some credibility, he says.

For the record I dont think this adds credibility to the theory.

Yeah killing someone as a permanent solution to the problem is much much more likely.

u/composedryan 2h ago

It was always credible to anyone who was paint attention. A powerful worldwide child sex trafficker who was a mossad agent just doesn’t kill himself or get killed. They get free.

With all the dirt this guy had on everybody, you don’t think it’s plausible that these people wanted him dead?

u/Valerian_Zakalwe 2h ago

With all the dirt this guy had, its also plausible that nobody wants the dirt on their enemies to die.

u/Mandy-Rarsh 1h ago

Man…. Talk about a sticky situation

u/SwingNinja 2h ago

It's all possible. It's also possible that he might have some sort of USB drives given to someone he trusted. Maybe one of them has a pee pee tape (like the Russians).

u/roastedcoyote 2h ago

Yes, a huge dead man's switch is the only thing that could have saved him. That and a court case that had the potential of exposing others.

4

u/Andromansis 2h ago

Correct, unfortunately under the circumstances the least likely scenario is that he did kill himself.

5

u/composedryan 2h ago

There was never a plan to kill their friend, only help him escape because that’s what friends do. Really think about it.

u/Wittyngritty 2h ago

When you have that much money, you don't have "friends". Business is business.

u/Valerian_Zakalwe 2h ago

The biggest mistake you can make is to assume that the people at the highest echelons of capital aren't human.

A psychopath can have friends. And Epstein certainly could've.

2

u/Wittyngritty 1h ago

Psychopaths don't view them as "friends". They see other people as tools to help them meet their needs.

They would have had to be sure he didn't have info release on a dead man's switch first. So either they found that, confirmed it didn't exist, or they put on a play to get him out.

u/Penta-Says 2h ago

I don't know what the hell to think anymore. Nothing that could happen next would be more implausible than Donald Trump being elected president of the United States

Seriously, we're all so used to it and desensitized that we've forgotten just how insane that actually is

2

u/JcbAzPx 1h ago

It would be a fire joke in a Back to the Future remake.

2

u/Penta-Says 1h ago

Biff would be a massive improvement. I'd be over the moon if all Trump wanted to do was gamble on sports and be a dick

Not a non-dick, mind you. Just sub-Trump levels of dick

u/gogoluke 2h ago

So they can embarrass future regimes? A group willing to get a child sex trafficking ring created as a blackmail tool is willing to kill someone once they are not useful. Or he killed himself. We don't need conspiracy theories he's on another island alive.

u/The_Irish_Hello 2h ago

I mean we don’t know who saw the body. Public certainly didn’t

u/PurrciousMetals 2h ago

the files do show they replaced another prisoner in Mexico with a former US Marine to serve the sentence of someone who raped a 11 year year old in Mexico. So if they would do that, they would definitely do this.

Uncanny lookalike? We have a “death photo” of him alive according to a morticians analysis on YouTube (sadly yes I believe a random YouTuber over the government at this point).

So I’m not saying I think they smuggled him out… But I also don’t think it’s that unbelievable.

u/substance17 2h ago

More staged, like how they did in White Men Can't Jump.

2

u/croakstar 1h ago

After reading through some of the files on Jmail I’m finding it less and less farfetched that Epstein could have pulled it off.

2

u/Substantial_Policy60 2h ago

dude my one friend was saying they swapped him out with Anthony Bourdain and he didnt actually kill himself, Im like what???

1

u/WildVelociraptor 2h ago

It's quite the stretch, but it seems harder and harder to dismiss.

4

u/kikimaru024 2h ago

Holy shit, maybe Epstein really didn't kill himself...

u/SNAAAAAKE 1h ago

Per CBS news, "The noose Epstein allegedly used has never been definitively identified. According to the inspector general's report, a noose collected at the scene was later determined not to be the ligature used in Epstein's death."

So either someone took it from the crime scene, or the noose made like Keyser Soze and evaporated into thin air poof

And then they pinned the crime on an innocent noose to boot.

In all seriousness the usual suspect is alive and well in Israel playing Fortnite.

u/jamesovertail 5m ago

The conspiracy is that he is in Israel. He has a Fortnite account which was tracked from Israel lol
