The death of Jeffrey Epstein is still a controversial topic with global implications, as many believe that there was more to his apparent suicide than the public is being told at the moment.
The conspiracy theories are being pushed left and right. President Donald Trump seems to be ready to blame Bill Clinton, while some liberals are quick to say that Russia and Trump had something to do with it. It needs to be said, Epstein was well connected to the two major parties in American politics.
The death of the disgraced financier and convicted sexual deviant led to #ClintonBodyCount and #TrumpBodyCount occupying a prominent space on social media for days.
REPORTER: Do you really think the Clintons are involved in Epstein's death?
TRUMP: "I have no idea. I know he was on his plane 27 times…the question you have to ask is, did Bill Clinton go to the island?…I was never there…if you find that out, you're going to know a lot." pic.twitter.com/2okvjaFv2w

Moreover, authorities have refused to release any more information about the case, only confirming that they are investigating a possible suicide at the moment.
The man had reportedly managed to tie a bedsheet to the top of his bunk bed, after which he kneeled and strangled himself.
Many strange circumstances are surrounding his death, such as the fact that the guards had not checked up on him in several hours — despite orders to do so every 30 minutes.
According to the latest reports from the New York Times, the guards fell asleep and failed to check on him for at least three hours. They reportedly falsified records to cover up their mistakes. Epstein was put on suicide watch after a previous attempt had failed.
One day before Epstein’s alleged suicide, a cellmate who had been assigned to him was mysteriously transferred away from the cell and he was alone at the time of the incident.
These circumstances together have led many to believe that there is something shady going on and that the death was just an attempt to prevent Epstein from making revelations about prominent figures in politics and other fields.
Recently, the FBI also raided the private island of the financier, with much speculation over what they could have found. A man who was regularly flying a drone over the compound noted that several items had gone missing in the days leading up to the FBI raid, including a Mac computer that was placed by one of the windows.
People could be seen carrying things around in an evident attempt to cover something up. However, authorities have denied knowledge of any such efforts.
These elements put together do give some legs to the Epstein cover-up theory. However, some prison experts argue a lack of concern for inmates, incompetence, and sheer laziness are often more to blame in situations like this one.
What is clear, people hoping to get real answers are starting to be slightly disappointed.
One of them stated: “It has already been swept under the rug. Nothing will come of this. Nor the “human sex trafficking” investigation. Fact.”
Another commenter chimed in with: “He was murdered because there are too many of his wealthy associates who would look bad once the investigation would take place.”
A third person added: “He knew way too much. If he talked, then a whole empire will fall. Gotta silence him.”
Epstein’s alleged suicide will probably be investigated at great length, but whatever the outcome, not many people will be satisfied, including the victims who were seeking justice.
