    There’s still the option that it was a faked death. That much wealth and power, if it could be done, that’s who and when it would be done. I’m not giving it much credence without more evidence, but I’ve got no reason to think that it’s not possible given the series of absurd happenings that morning.

      Not impossible, but I don’t see what advantage there would be to keeping him alive vs just getting rid of him entirely.

      I love watching credible conspiracy theories turn into pure garbage conspiracy theories right before my eyes in one thread.

      I’m sure it was possible to swap Epstein out. I just don’t think there was the motivation for it

      No one wants Epstein alive. The rich and powerful want to bury their crimes, normal people want retribution. The only motivator I can imagine would be a deadman switch, but even if Epstein were smuggled out, the rich and powerful would have dismantled any blackmail Epstein had by now and finished the job

      I see no path that still has Epstein alive at this point
