Welcome to the News community!
Rules:
1. Be civil
Attack the argument, not the person. No racism/sexism/bigotry. Good faith argumentation only. This includes accusing another user of being a bot or paid actor. Trolling is uncivil and is grounds for removal and/or a community ban. Do not respond to rule-breaking content; report it and move on.
2. All posts should contain a source (url) that is as reliable and unbiased as possible and must only contain one link.
Obvious biased sources will be removed at the mods’ discretion. Supporting links can be added in comments or posted separately but not to the post body. Sources may be checked for reliability using Wikipedia, MBFC, AdFontes, GroundNews, etc.
3. No bots, spam or self-promotion.
Only approved bots, which follow the guidelines for bots set by the instance, are allowed.
4. Post titles should be the same as the article used as source. Clickbait titles may be removed.
Posts which titles don’t match the source may be removed. If the site changed their headline, we may ask you to update the post title. Clickbait titles use hyperbolic language and do not accurately describe the article content. When necessary, post titles may be edited, clearly marked with [brackets], but may never be used to editorialize or comment on the content.
5. Only recent news is allowed.
Posts must be news from the most recent 30 days.
6. All posts must be news articles.
No opinion pieces, Listicles, editorials, videos, blogs, press releases, or celebrity gossip will be allowed. All posts will be judged on a case-by-case basis. Mods may use discretion to pre-approve videos or press releases from highly credible sources that provide unique, newsworthy content not available or possible in another format.
7. No duplicate posts.
If an article has already been posted, it will be removed. Different articles reporting on the same subject are permitted. If the post that matches your post is very old, we refer you to rule 5.
8. Misinformation is prohibited.
Misinformation / propaganda is strictly prohibited. Any comment or post containing or linking to misinformation will be removed. If you feel that your post has been removed in error, credible sources must be provided.
9. No link shorteners or news aggregators.
All posts must link to original article sources. You may include archival links in the post description. News aggregators such as Yahoo, Google, Hacker News, etc. should be avoided in favor of the original source link. Newswire services such as AP, Reuters, or AFP, are frequently republished and may be shared from other credible sources.
10. Don't copy entire article in your post body
For copyright reasons, you are not allowed to copy an entire article into your post body. This is an instance wide rule, that is strictly enforced in this community.

Postmarked Aug 13, 2019. Epstein was found dead on Aug 10, 2019.
As he mailed it from jail, and guards don't go running to the PO to send inmate's letters, this can be explained by bureaucracy.
Oh, of course. I didn't mean it to read like OMGZORZ CONSPRIACY!!! (At least not that way.)
I was thinking more along the lines of "Dude was sending this kind of thing out from jail, they read everything before it goes out, how many other incriminating things did he write, how many other people did he implicate, it's no wonder Jeffery Epstein didn't commit suicide."
Well he did write in the letter than "as you know by now I took the "short route" home" which to me sounds like "you've probably heard about my suicide by now."
Ohhh yeah, that's a good point.
Honestly, I still don't think he killed himself. But if he was sending shit like this out in bulk (how would we ever know?) suicide may have been his plan and others simply moved up his departure date.
Jails/prisons do indeed read everything that goes in and out, and this was no regular prisoner. It's not a stretch to think they killed him to stop him from sending even more of these.
Yeah its definitely mysterious especially with the "broken" cameras and "full unedited footage release" that had missing time, but I wouldn't put it past him doing it himself considering he knew his number was up this time.
My apologies.
None needed, I was unclear. Your comment rightfully brought my oversight to my attention, and allowed me to correct it. Thank you.
