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.
