That’s certainly a coincidence, isn’t it? Over the decades there have been so many people in a position to harm Bill and Hillary Clinton that have come to an intimately end that the word "Arkancide" has been invented.
Jeffrey Epstein dead, of purported suicide
A lot of very powerful Democrats are breathing sighs of relief. Dead men tell no tales, and the man whose tales could sink the reputations of and potentially incarcerate a slew of the most important political figures in the US (and a member of the British Royal Family) will be making no deals with prosecutors implicating bigger fish.
The cynics who insisted that he would never live to bring down so many powerful people have been vindicated. Of course, we don’t know any details of his demise, so theoretically it is possible that he took his own life for purely personal psychological concerns.
But that theoretical possibility is not strengthened by this, from the New York Times’ first account:
Last month, a week after being denied bail, Mr. Epstein was found unconscious in his cell at the jail in Manhattan with marks on his neck, and prison officials were investigating the incident as a possible suicide attempt.It was not immediately clear on Saturday whether the authorities had put in additional safeguards to watch him after the incident last month.
Let me translate: “not immediately clear” means that officials at the jail have not claimed the first thing that would come to mind if additional safeguards – which obviously were required -- had been in place. If he had been on suicide watch, as ordinary prudence would require, it is highly unlikely that he could have successfully killed himself. There should not have been any materials for a self-created hanging in the cell of someone who had previously attempted suicide.
The death comes less than a day after a court unsealed a trove of over 2000 documents implicating even more powerful figures. Incuding this, via Mike Cernovich:
That’s certainly a coincidence, isn’t it? Over the decades there have been so many people in a position to harm Bill and Hillary Clinton that have come to an intimately end that the word "Arkancide" has been invented.
A question going forward: what will become of his estate? There will no doubt be litigation and court proceedings that will establish how much wealth he actually had. It would not surprise me if it turns out to be a lot less than many have guessed, as was the case when Robert Maxwell, the father of his sometimes associate and accused procuress Ghislaine Maxwell, and Armand Hammer, legendary oilman who got his start as an aoperative for Rusian communists raising monet by selling off the Czars' art, each died.

Jeffrey Epstein has been found dead in his Manhattan jail cell by suspected suicide, according to several reports.
Epstein, who was being held at the Metropolitan Correctional Center, reportedly committed suicide, hanging himself in his jail cell, according to reports from the New York Times and ABC News. According to the Associated Press, “The medical examiner’s office in Manhattan confirmed Epstein’s death.”

He was charged last month on sex-trafficking-related charges.
As Breitbart News reported:
NBC 4 New York, citing sources, reported court documents state that Epstein allegedly had sexual encounters with dozens of underage girls at his Palm Beach, Florida residence. According to authorities, the politically connected hedge fund manager employed “female fixers” who sought out the girls from all over the world for such encounters. Some of the girls were allegedly transported to his homes in New York City, New Mexico, and a private Caribbean island, according to court documents.
The news of his suicide comes weeks after authorities found the disgraced billionaire semi-unconscious in his jail cell. At the time, Epstein was in a fetal position with marks around his neck, signifying a failed suicide attempt.
Breitbart News reported:
According to NBC New York, citing sources familiar with the matter, an injured Epstein was discovered in the fetal position inside his jail cell at Metropolitan Correctional Center in New York City. He was found “semi-conscious with marks on his neck,” reports NBC New York. Two sources told the news outlet that Epstein may have attempted to take his own life by hanging. Another source said the hedge fund manager’s injuries were not serious and suggested the hedge fund manager may use them as a means to receive a transfer.
This development follows the U.S. Attorney’s Office for the Southern District of New York’s move Friday, unsealing thousands of documents, “in which Virginia Roberts Guiffre … said Epstein forced her to have sex with powerful men, including former Maine Sen. George Mitchell, former New Mexico Gov. Bill Richardson and Prince Andrew,” Fox Business reports.
