Epstein Kills Himself

Less than a month ago I surmised that Jeffrey Epstein would be killed in jail.  Official reports indicate that Epstein died at his own hand.  Fox News reported:

The death comes two weeks after the 66-year-old was placed on suicide watch after he was found nearly unconscious in his cell with injuries to his neck. At the time, it was not clear whether the injuries were self-inflicted or from an assault.

NBC News reported that Epstein was in his own cell at the time of his death and was no longer on suicide watch.
Jerusalem Post reported:

Routine guard check-ups that were supposed to occur every 30 minutes were not executed the night that Epstein took his own life, sources told Reuters

If the pimp dies do cases against john's go away?  Also, there is an estate to sue.  

Update:  A friend wrote "how can you manage to successfully keep Chapo in prison but not keep Epstein from killing himself?"  I smell another hollow Lessons Learned report.   

Update 10-16-21:  Jeffrey Epstein believed he could make a deal with prosecutors by revealing secrets about former presidents Bill Clinton and Donald Trump.  Trump was President at the time of Epstein's suicide in jail. 

Update 12-31-21:  A jury found Epstein accomplice Ghislaine Maxwell guilty of sex trafficking underage girls.  

Update 6-29-22:  Epstein associate Ghislaine Maxwell got 20 years for her crimes, however the powerful people who abused girls are yet to be named.

Update 11-12-23:  WilmerHale's settlement for JP Morgan for enabling Jeffrey Epstein's child sex trafficking prevents state Attorney Generals from bringing action against parties to the settlement.
