Keep scrolling to get the full story...
Let's start at the beginning of this complicated story.
He's now best known as a convicted sex offender.
Epstein's crimes were far-reaching and varied.
But this wasn't the end of his legal troubles.
Many were looking forward to justice being served.
Epstein has numerous friends in high places.
But it now looks as though justice will never be served.
It was initially presumed that Epstein's death was a suicide.
But because of the nature of his crimes, plus the connections Epstein had to the political and social elite, some have other suspicions about what really happened.Here's some of the background information.

There are many out there who will benefit by Epstein not standing trial.
And the fact that he has committed suicide before any unsavory information could come out does seem like some suspiciously good timing for his past associates.This has not gone unnoticed online.
While there's not necessarily any proof as to who precisely would be in trouble when Epstein took the stand, there's no doubt that there are many who are relieved he never will.But there is an undeniable connection.
Oh, and that's not all.
Epstein reportedly attempted suicide shortly after his arrest in July, and was found in his cell with injuries to his neck and totally unconscious. After the attempt, he had been placed on suicide watch.His suicide watch reportedly only lasted for six days.
And it was twelve days after this initial suicide watch ended that Epstein was found dead. This has led many to wonder why he wasn't being more closely monitored.Many can't see how he'd have managed to successfully attempt suicide.
