THEORY
Sex, drugs, money, and power lead to a world full of lies. Jeffery Epstein was a self-made billionaire, with immense social power. He was arrested and charged with sex trafficking and sentenced to prison. Not shortly after, he was said to be dead due to suicide. Many people question his death, was truly suicide, some think it could have been a murder. What really happened to Jeffrey Epstein?
Character Analyst
Jeffrey Epstein was described by many people, as an evil man. During his trial he showed little to no remorse and even laughed in interviews when questioned on his actions over the years. One of Jeffreys own employee said “I compared it to seeing a serial killer in broad daylight. I called it the face of evil” (Aguirre). Not only did his personality come off as evil, but his actions proved it, that same employee said “One incident in particular really stands out in my mind, because the girls were just so young. They couldn’t have been over 16. Epstein looked very angry and hurled his jacket at one of them” (Aguirre). While in custody at the Metropolitan correctional center in New York, he had psychological screenings. Laszlo Pokorny, who wrote the paper on A Posthumous Psychopathic Assessment of Jeffrey Epstein said he had Dark Triad. Dark Triad is “A constellation of three socially aversive personality traits—psychopathy, narcissism, and Machiavellians” ( Pokorny). Jeffery Epstein was an evil person down to his core; he showed this to the world through his lack of emotions while on trial and through his actions in public. His lack of empathy or remorse gives the victims little to no closure, his evil doings will leave these women and children scarred for the rest of their lives.
Jeffrey Epstein was manipulative and would use his power and high status to draw young girls into his glamours lifestyle. Epstein survivor, Chauntae Davies, said that “Epstein surrounded himself with the most powerful leaders of our country and the world" (Moore). Courtney Wild, a victim of Jeffery Epstein, spoke out about her experience. She says “I felt so dirty and ugly, and embarrassed, what just happened? And I’m also trying to process the $200 that I have in my hand because at that time, it felt like so much” (NBC6). Jeffrey Epstein would purposely look for young girls who came from broken families; that didn't have much money and manipulated them by bribing them with money. Jeffrey would also manipulate young women into working for him, giving them “jobs” for instance Haley Robson, said she was “forced to recruit more teenage girls from school - and was paid for everyone she found” (Livesay & Amos). Jeffrey Epstein knew that using young girls to draw in other young girls would make them feel more comfortable and more likely to go. Many of Epstein's victims were scared into being quiet by him. He would threaten them and use his high status so they would not come forward with any information. Jeffrey was a smart, conniving, manipulative man, and he knew exactly what he was doing with and too these young girls. Jeffrey Epstein was very greedy; he was never satisfied. He was always trying for more money, more power, and more victims; this ultimately led to his downfall. Epstein was a multimillionaire at the time of his death, “his net worth at roughly $560 million” (Gibson). Jeffery had a lot of lavish properties his most famous being his private island, but besides that he owned “a townhouse on the Upper East Side of Manhattan worth more than $50 million. He also owned a mansion in Palm Beach, Florida, worth about $12 million; a ranch in New Mexico valued at just over $17 million; and an apartment in Paris worth an estimated $8.6 million” (Gibson). Another well-known asset of Epstein's was his private jet that he would take all of his high-status friends on. A few of these well know public figures were “former Treasury Secretary Larry Summers, billionaire Bill Gates, filmmaker Woody Allen and former Trump adviser Steve Bannon” (Gibson). Jeffrey Epstein also had an abundance of victims, it's said to be over a 1000, Danielle Bensky a one of his many victims, said, “I am one story of a thousand"(Wire & Mansfield). Epstein never graduated college; he truly worked his way up. He had a lot of drive and ambition, but once he had a little bit of power, his greed took over. He was never satisfied with his colleagues; he was always looking to network with people of a higher status. His most prized friend was current president Donald Trump; Epstein was so proud of this that he framed of photo of the two of them and put it on his desk for all to see. As for Jeffrey Epstein's victims, his greed led to thousands of horror stories.

Conspiracy Theory's
Jeffrey Epstein was a sixty-six multimillionaire, and a well-known individual in an upper-class society. Jeffrey Epstein used his power and money to abuse young girls; he thought he could get away with his crimes because of his high standing reputation, but that was not the case. Epstein had committed numerus sex trafficking crimes, he was arrested and taken into custody on “July sixth” (DOJ). After his arrest he spent some time in prison but shortly after he allegedly committed suicide. The first theory consists of Jeffrey Epstein taking his own life out of fear of his punishment, and so he would never have to face the public ridicule. As for the second theory, people believe Jeffrey Epstein could have been murdered before he had the chance to expose his colleagues.
The first theory on Jeffrey Epstein is that he had committed suicide, believers say he had remorse and couldn't live with the guilt, others say he took the easy way out. Jeffrey was a very smart man; he had even skipped grades and graduated early, but he also had all the “characteristics of a psychopath” (Omgsogd). Jeffrey had a cold nature and believed he was above the law; through his trail he showed little to no remorse for his actions. “On July 23rd, at 1:27 a.m., the corrections officer responded to Jeffery Epstein's cell where they found Epstein with an orange cloth around his neck” (DOJ, 3). This was Epstein's first attempt at suicide; he was put on twenty-four-hour suicide to prevent watch. Shortly after this occurrence “Epstein met with his attorneys at the prison, as he had on prior occasions, and signed a new last will and testament” (DOJ, 3). Then on august tenth Jeffrey was found dead in his cell, “Thomas attempted to deliver breakfast to Epstein through the food slot in his locked cell door; Epstein did not respond to Thomas’s verbal commands. Thomas unlocked the cell door and saw Epstein hanged “(DOJ, 3). Despite this, there are some suspicious details that arise questions. A few days before Epstein's cell mate was taken out of his cell, and he was also taken off his twenty-four-hour suicide watch. In addition to that, the cameras were somehow off and there's no surveillance. And making it even more suspicious, there were no guards watching or even around Jeffreys cell at the time of his death. All these circumstances don't seem like coincidences. Did the federal jail system really fail so badly that they let a known psychopath commit suicide. Most people think this can't be the case, and something else had to take place that night.
The next theory is that Jeffrey Epstein was murdered; many people believe foul play was likely involved due to the extent of his crimes and the many people involved. As investigator's dived into Jeffrey's death, more questions popped up and suspicions started to rise. Jeffrey Epstein had many connections to high-standing individuals that were becoming associated with his crimes. As Epstein was being investigated by the FBI, they stated “There will be no cover-ups, no missing documents, and no stone left unturned — and anyone from the prior or current Bureau who undermines this will be swiftly pursued” (Office of Public Affairs). Although this was said many documents have been withheld along with many people who were involved being not prosecuted and their part in the crimes being covered up. Donald trump, the current president was very much involved with Epstein even though he denies all connection with him, but evidence proves otherwise. Trump once said, "He’s a lot of fun to be with," Trump told the magazine. "It is even said that he likes beautiful women as much as I do, and many of them are on the younger side"(USA TODAY). Jeffrey Epstein was also involved will “former president bill Clinton and his wife Hillary Clinton, the magician David Copperfield, Prince Andrew, former Israeli Prime Minister Ehud Barak, actor Kevin Spacey, lawyer Alan Dershowitz, the late New Mexico Gov. Bill Richardson and former Vice President Al Gore, among others” (NPR). These were all very powerful people that would have a motive and the means to murder Jeffrey Epstein. After Epstein was found dead, an autopsy was performed; they found 3 breaks in his neck; this came out to be very unusual. The man who performed this atopy's Dr. Baden said, “we’ve never had three fractures” (Goodman, Halper). He also said, “these injuries are far more common in strangulation murders” (Goodman, Halper). it is very hard not to believe Epstein's death wasn't murder, almost all facts point in this direction. Although there is no concert evidence that this is what happened, there is also evidence that he committed suicide.
A possible solution to this conspiracy theory would be for the prison system to have more transparency and accountability. This would include better surveillance systems with regular checks to ensure everything is always working. Another would be to have regular check-ins on the prisoners by the guards. This would give the public more reassurance and trust in official reports.
Jeffrey Epstein's death was ruled a suicide, but all the inconsistences leave room for doubt. Both theories have good arguments, although the unusual circumstances that surround his death fuel conspiracy theories. As the investigation continues, and more evidence is provided, it may provide answers for people, but until then questions about what really happened will remain.

Jeffrey Epstein was a well know wealthy man who had committed sex trafficking crimes.
