NY - Billionaire Jeffrey Epstein arrested on sex trafficking, 6 July 2019 #2 *FOUND DECEASED IN JAIL

[Anance]

Epstein was meeting with this attorneys for up to 12 hours a day. That seems a bit extreme to me. Is that "normal"?

OJ did it, too, during the murder trial as a way of avoiding the meals and boredom of jail. IIRC, Johnny Cochran got so tired of OJ insisting on company, he assigned a low-level associate just to keep him company. Cochran was a good lawyer who knew how to manage his clients. When OJ insisted on testifying, Cochran asked him some uncomfortable questions - like how he got the cuts on his hands - things he had never mentioned before. Did it skeptically. OJ backed down.

Multiple news outlets captured video and photos of the agents landing at the island’s dock by boat, with some agents then getting into golf carts while other agents appeared to search the surrounding water in scuba gear.

And maybe Epstein knew this was going to happen?

Safety Concerns Grow as Inmates Are Guarded by Teachers and Secretaries
https://www.nytimes.com/2018/06/17/us/prisons-safety-substitute-guards.html
According to our investigation last year, documents and interviews with with prison workers from seven federal facilities, including the Manhattan jail where Epstein died, show that correctional posts had regularly gone unstaffed for entire shifts.
In the super secure wing where El Chapo was being housed at the Manhattan jail, for instance, the N.Y. Times
investigation found that the staff had regularly been cut from four to two because of staff shortages.
Support staff members typically receive only a few weeks’ training in correctional work and, while required under their contracts to serve as substitutes, are often uncomfortable in the roles.

Good point.

The timing does make that a possibility.

Has everyone watched GM's talk about the oceans? It's on youtube (not MSM so I'm not linking - you'll have to search).

She had some weird ideas about the ocean sort of hidden in a front of ecology. Through her website, people could "buy" part of the ocean and then watch it online - which sort of sounds like the money is being used to save the ocean but also seems like a money-making scheme.

It's cringe-worthy, imo, but now that LE is searching with scuba teams on the island, I'm wondering what exactly was going on there. Something creepy, I suspect.

Edited to add: GM's scheme also seems like a way to influence the way people think about the ocean - as something to be exploited rather than something to be protected.

What in the holy hell was that?

That looks like a huge door at the end of the path. And I'll bet it connects with that temple thingy. And I don't think it's housing the sprinkler system

This is so sinister. What was in there? Is that why there are divers searching around that area.

This just gives me the creeps thinking that he was hiding something - possibly even more depraved that he was doing with young girls.

'Cause I don't think he was quilting or working on his stamp collection in a hidden place like that

Yeah, looks like some kind of underground structure. Assuming that, for safety reasons (fire, etc), a second exit is required.

ETA: Hope they're wearing bio-hazard clothing when they search it.

I am sure she had well-made contingency plans in place to do just that. I wouldn't be surprised if she is never found.

Imagine having such an obsession with sex that you allow it to destroy your career, your reputation and a massive inheritance. Blowing through hundreds of millions, if not billions of dollars and ending up in jail just for sex? I suppose its like people who do the same for gambling.

Didn't Gloria Vanderbilt's father end up losing a sizable inheritance by gambling?

ETA: Here's another stunning example of idiocy - the heiress of the Seagram's fortune who spent a fortune on a sick sex cult.

US heiress pleads guilty in 'sex cult' case

Bronfman, the 40-year-old heir to the Seagram alcohol fortune, was accused of using more than $100m (£77m) to fund the suspected sex cult Nxivm.

She pleaded guilty on two counts - conspiracy to conceal and harbour illegal immigrants for financial gain, and fraudulent use of identification.

She thought she was helping young women? She was helping hold them as prisoners while they were raped, brainwashed and branded. She'll probably end up getting off with probation, though.

Why not donate all that money to a worthy charitable organization that helps young girls and women, instead of exploiting them? College scholarships, job opportunities, etc.

Shrieking heard from Jeffrey Epstein's jail cell the morning he died

Article indicates it was the guards coming to save him who were shrieking. Also says...

"One of Epstein's guards at the Metropolitan Correctional Center on the night he died was reportedly not a regular corrections officer."

Mmm hmm.

 

[Reasonable & Just]

Maybe it was the guards shrieking, not clear from article. And "reportedly" not a regular officer could be rumor. But the ugly just keeps getting uglier. IMO.

Yes, I think it was the officers yelling, not Epstein, but that's just a guess.

Mmm hmm.

Also newly reported, afaik, is that in the correctional facility in Florida, the door to his cell was often left open in the night (after he spent the day outside the facility!) and he was known to walk around the place at will....and sometimes naked.

And I guess that was just a-okay with everyone.

The Day Jeffrey Epstein Told Me He Had Dirt on Powerful People

Just thinking aloud here, not fully-formed thoughts at this point, but...

The reporter of this article writes that Epstein told him that people feel safe revealing information to him. I understand that charismatic people have that ability - to make people feel comfortable in their conversations.

But, I'm currently reading a book about crime in London in the early 1700s - and some of the tactics of the "Fagin type" characters (remember Fagin from "Olivier"? He ran the gang of thieves, including children.). One such guy I'm reading about, named Jonathan Wild if anyone is interested, collected information - and if you didn't share information, he would go after you. Whether he blackmailed, turned you in to authorities, bribed others to turn against you, whatever - he was the clearinghouse of both information and stolen goods. People HAD to confide in him or be ruined. The man's network was vast and complicated. Sounds familiar.

And that's what might have been happening with JE - it wasn't so much that people enjoyed sharing info with him, but they "had" to....but what JE held over their heads, IDK. Sometimes their sex activities, but probably more than that.

He put people in position to "owe" him, imo.

Again, this is not a fully-formed thought. I know there are holes and probably just shows that criminal minds - especially the criminals who fancy their brains - follow a pattern in their operations, even over the centuries.

Among the other oddities of being employed there, the former staffer said, was Epstein’s interest in “pirate treasure.” Not gold doubloons, but old rum bottles and crockery that workers would come across. If you found an old rum bottle, Epstein would pay $100 for it. An unbroken plate was worth $1,000. A broken plate, as long as it was more than half intact, would fetch $500.

The only unusual aspect of the main residence the former worker said he was aware of were the security boxes in two offices. The level of secrecy around a steel safe in Epstein’s office, in particular, suggested it contained much more than just money, he said. Outside of an occasional visit by a housekeeper, no one was allowed in those rooms.
