Yes, I can imagine how bad he must have felt if he had to say all those ugly things about his dear friends. Poor soul found a merciful way out. May the Lord have compassion on him. /s
What are you talking about? I never said anything about feeling sorry for him. I just explained why I thought he killed himself.
Why would he care about testifying? If anything I could see him laughing all the way as he set the whole world on fire.
He could have done that, or use that info to try to get as much as possible in a plea deal.
With the amount of stuff they had on him I doubt there was much room for a plea deal. Typically the way you would get someone like him to divulge more info is to feed his evil side by destroying everyone else. Seeing powerful people suffer at your hand is far better than being offered ketchup for your shit sandwich.
Who knows. He knew a lot of people who he could have thrown under the bus, plus he was wealthy so he could have used a combination of both to get as much as possible. Like what Ted Bundy tried to do when he got in jail: exchange information on crimes (cold cases) he had not been charged yet in exchange of . Epstein had information, money and connections, he would have tried to use that for something.
Edit: typos
Oh, I'm talking sarcastically (hence why I am using /s), or "just fucking around for shits and giggles". I do not feel sorry for him either. I personally don't think that he committed suicide without some assistance of some sort. He could have spilled the beans and use that to negotiate something. But then, that would have been a shitshow. That's my honest opinion.
