The reaction from the online fever swamps was predictable enough. Jeffrey Epstein, the well-connected financier accused of underage sex trafficking, was found dead in his Manhattan jail cell early this morning, just one day after unsealed court documents surfaced new allegations against him and his high-powered inner circle. The reported cause of death was suicide but the conspiracy-mongers were already springing into action.

Dead men tell no tales.
Three men can keep a secret if two of them are dead.
There have been too many deaths due to Arkancide.
You could look it up.
When one considers the usual mortality rates, these deaths are wildly improbable.
Far too many of very high standing would be imperiled if Epstein were still alive.
Dead? Alone? With no materials available? Method, motive, opportunity. None are present.
The mind boggles at coincidence.
No conspiracy is needed. He knew too much, and now cannot tell what he knows.
Case closed.

The author does offer this, FTA: As I’ve written before, every grotesque beat of Epstein’s story—including, now, his untimely death—illustrates how America’s culture of elite impunity, failure, and corruption has allowed conspiracy theorists to thrive.

We are a society that is continually asked to accept the absurd and reject the obvious. There might be a plausible explanation for every death of those associated with the Clintons but the aggregate is completely implausible. The only logical conclusion is that the Clintons murder people who get in their way and/or are a threat to them.
I'll gladly accept donations to get my PHD in statistics with my thesis constituting a determination of the statistical probability that any such power couple could possible be randomly associated with the deaths of so many people within their sphere.
Is there anybody on this site who didn't expect this to happen? When you can predict the future repeatedly by using a theory it becomes a law.
Ms. Maxwell had better watch her back.

The reason I will never believe it was suicide is because even with his death there is no reason charges against others should go away and be forgotten. But they will.
In a couple more weeks we will never hear of his island or the attendees again.

In this article, does the author consider for one moment that the so-called "conspiracy-mongers" might have a point? It all seems too convenient that Epstein is dead when so many high-profile persons are involved, at least in the sense of being accused. Hell, Epstein himself is a high-profile person. Did he not involve himself in the Clinton Foundation as a major donor?
Something is rotten here. And it ain't the cheese from Denmark.

Interesting - - ain't it? - - that the very same people who were pounding away - - every day for three years - - on the fake Russia conspiracy - - now want nothing to do with a real conspiracy - - simply because their side of the political aisle is up to its neck in guilt.
Yes - - it IS interesting.

A stead drum beat of unsupported accusations against President Trump and they insist that unlimited resources and time should go into uncovering the possible truth. But, if I question a wildly unlikely and shockingly coincidental story that contradicts statements by Epstein, his cell mate, and his lawyers; that makes me a "Conspiracy Monger"!
Just checking, did they ever call "Vast Right Wing Conspiracy" Kook Hillary a Monger after accusing you and I of putting Bill's DNA on a blue dress?

There is no "official" report. The ME said more information is needed to determine the cause of death. Given the apparent extreme negligence of the MCC, his death certainly warrants more investigation.

Yeah, to believe that Epstein was murders is just exactly on a par with believing that the moon landings were faked, and that there are alien spacecraft being studied at Area 51.
Yeah, right. /s off
Epstein was murdered to protect a LOT of very rich, very powerful men from being exposed as
pedophiles and rapists. Just that simple.

Let’s face it, Epstein’s demise was a miracle benefiting a lot of prominent, powerful, wealthy politicians, and others, both in the USA and abroad, who wanted to see Epstein disappear, and who throughout the years in Sodom and Gomorrah like fashion, allegedly caroused with Epstein and his stable of sexually exploited teenyboppers on a private foreign island, that was immune to reasonable law enforcement protocols.

OP here, I did do a search for the title and publication to check if it was previously posted.

Why Conspiracy Theorists Will Never Believe the
‘Official’ Epstein Story.....because we are being lied to by government officials. You can bet the farm this goes a lot higher than the local jailers. And of course we know why. There were probably a lot of wealthy and powerful men with a sick appetite that Jeff Epstein could
satisfy....for a price. In the end he paid the ultimate price for their "special needs and desires", disgusting as they were.

All the people on M Street say the sun rises in the east.
A well-dressed bureaucrat comes to town and tells them the sun rises in the west.
No! They shout. You are wrong! The sun rises in the east.
You are all crazy conspiracy theorists---all kooks. You are never to be believed or trusted again. I'm going to tell the authorities and the media to never believe or trust anything said by M-Streeters. Your voices will never be heard again.
But, we'll show you, we'll prove to you that the sun rises in the east...
Be quiet! We can't listen to you. You think crazy thoughts and are not to be trusted. We can't hear you anymore.
The End.
Or is it?

I emailed The Atlantic the following-- The most high profile inmate in the country, who was recently on suicide watch—but inexplicably taken off, “hung himself” in his cell where there would be no instruments available to accomplish this. The guards were overworked and too busy to keep an eye on him. The cameras were inexplicably not working. No explanation was given for failures of this magnitude and none ever will be. Meanwhile, a good number of prominent politicians and powerful people have been implicated in the sex/pedophile ring. People who would like very much for this whole Epstein thing to go away and have the means to make it happen. Of course, nothing like that has ever happened in history, right? That was sarcasm incase you failed to recognize it. The author of the article has the nerve to sneer at those possessing the half a brain cell it takes to imagine something has gone amiss here? Somebody has jumped the shark, but with the media minders and the censorship/information gatekeepers it is highly unlikely that any shred of the truth of the matter will be known to the public. Doesn’t mean it doesn’t matter though. People don’t believe this, and with good and numerous reasons. It is hard to predict the form it will materialize in, but there will be consequences. So, carry on, by all means.
