Convicted pedophile Jeffrey Epstein is dead, law enforcement sources said Saturday.
A gurney carrying a man who looked like Epstein was wheeled out of the Manhattan Correctional Center around 7:30 a.m. The ambulance went to New York Downtown Hospital.
The incident comes two weeks after Epstein, 66, was placed on suicide watch after he was found nearly unconscious in his cell with injuries to his neck.
The multimillionaire financier is being held without bail pending trial on child sex-trafficking charges. Thousands of documents unsealed Friday in connection with a defamation case against the pervs alleged recruiter revealed dozens of high-profile names that a self-identified victim, Virginia Giuffre, said she was forced to perform sex acts with, from former Maine Sen. George Mitchell and ex-New Mexico Gov. Bill Richardson, money manager Glenn Dubin and MIT professor Marvin Minksy.
Epstein was busted July 6 over the alleged sexual abuse of dozens of young girls in his Upper East Side townhouse and his waterfront mansion in Palm, Beach, Florida, between 2002 and 2005.
He has pleaded not guilty and faces up to 45 years in prison if convicted.

“Amazing Polly” went through this in all the gory details. Recommend her Utube on it.
What a pile of doo-doo.
There’s a report in the UK’s Daily Mail that Ghislaine Maxwell may be ready to cooperate with US authorities....
Whoah there, Scooter, you'd better wash that off.
Anyhoo, thanks so much for the blessing to start off my day!
In a societal melt down conspiracy theories are rampant, addictive and contagious. Reason becomes secondary and patience is non-existent.
There are those who see an event or a photo for what it is and those who dont. The latter compose.
Cacophony commences ....

Contributing to the cause of the madness might be that the Justice system has become an industry, lodged in revolving political interests and delaying outcomes, depending on who is elected to the Executive Branch.
The failure of equal Justice increases as those in power become increasingly corrupt and can direct greater politicalization of Justice, or delaying Justice, until the plodding pace of serving any justice to those in high places becomes disturbing to a nation.
A dangerous time when Justice is no longer Blind, when serving Justice issues forth from only one weighted scale that issues favorable consequences for the Rulers, the rich and the powerful, while the other scale issues the standardized consequences for the Ruled.
Out of balance Justice eventually adversely affects law and order.
I suppose not many people believe he may have actually just killed himself but I would not rule it out. He had every reason to want to die rather than serve life, and prison officials are hardly known to be competent.
What I don’t get is why he didn’t flee the country like months ago, everyone knew the hammer was about to fall. Same goes for Bernie Maddoff and any other super rich perp, I’d be under an assumed name in GD Brazil or something.
Given how toxic Epstein is (was), I doubt most any nation would’ve taken or allowed him in. Bolsonaro would’ve had him found and deported. He would’ve been like Hyman Roth in “The Godfather II.”
Russia would have taken him for the right price (and not interfered with his “lifestyle”). I guess that he thought that his earlier plea deal made him immune to being charged with anything related to that time period. (Maybe his lawyers were right and he would have gotten the new indictments thrown out eventually, but now we’ll never find out.)
Even if he'd made it through the next trials, he'd have never seen the light of day again -- life in prison just means "until ya die", and it's not likely such a loose end would be left around. "I killed him because he took my pudding."
The point is they wouldn’t be looking very hard because he’d be under a new identity and no one would no where he is or in what country. Dude had half a bill, GD Bin Laden was on the lam forever and we knew what country he was in.
My thoughts exactly: https://youtu.be/jsHoTj-bScY
It would be impossible to kill oneself in a cell like Epstein was in.
That makes the most sense. Epstein was an extortion honey trap
for the rich, famous and powerful. But who would his handlers be? My best guess would be Brennan at the CIA.I am imagining Obama pulling all sorts o strings, it would be his style.
Epstein’s death looks like a CIA hit job using a former German military man , who was the prison guard in charge of the cell.
If the girls were the honey-trap, who were the associates and who were the victims?
who were the associates and who were the victims?>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>
AG Barr has promised to continue, but the chances are that the FBI is actually bleaching all the evidence.
We should know more in a month or so, but it really doesn’t look good for the just and free. Liberal Fascism is on the march.
Conspiracy? LOL !!! /sarcasm
My biggest frustration over this mess is the idea that Direct Observation of this inmate was necessary . Especially given the fact that the overtime and extra staff requirement would simply be included as part of his court costs easily justified Adminstrative cost regardless of whether he was an imminent threat of self harm. Why would a person paying high $ attorney fees be concerned about $25/hr overtime cost of a direct observation officer 24/7
. Standard procedures for Direct Observation exist primarily to PROTECT the integrity of the Justice System not to protect the inmate from Self Harm (though it does accomplish that as well)
Epstein should have been in 24/7 direct observation . Not for suicide prevention but because IF he was to successfully kill himself or is killed by ANY means the INTEGRITY of our entire Justice System suffers irreparable harm. Even IF a psychologist deems him to NOT be suicidal he should be on Direct Observation for Adminstrative Reasons period
This death has dealt an irreparable blow to our criminal justice system period.
NEW YORK (AP) Cameras show guards never made some of the checks logged the night Epstein died, person briefed on the probe tells AP.
The whole purpose of Direct Observation is to have continuous 24/7 blocks 10 min shifts whereas the guard will log every 10 mins what the inmate was doing since the last entry or immediately if the status changes for example a log entry could be 12:00 - inmate still sleeping etc. But since it is not a check every 10 mins lets assume at 12:03 the inmate wakes up and starts reading. You dont wait until 12:10 to document that the inmate is awake and reading. At 12:03 you document that change. Then if the inmate is still READING at 12:13 your next log entry would be due no later than 12:13 etc.
