Something something Panama Papers...
The Panama Papers weren't swept under a rug, you just didn't follow news on them.
Also Epstein 100% killed himself, and unsealing this info won't tell you anything meaningful, because predators who hide among the rich don't fucking tell every person they meet that they're a predator.
Conspiracy theories are never a good look on anyone.
I'm not real big on conspiracy theories.
The video being lost around the original attempt is rather suspect, but him finding something to hang himself with again... He should have been in a paper gown in a padded room. We have tons and tons of suicidal people in asylums and jail that are not given an opportunity to hang themselves.
Someone as high profile as him and with a cell mate?
I'm not saying he 100% didn't kill himself, but It sure as hell looks like somebody went through a lot of trouble to provide him opportunity.
The hidden people on the list that makes this list so inconsequential are the same exact people with the type of reach it would need to make sure he didn't start naming names.
He doesn't need to name names, because they have his computers, documents, etc. This conspiracy theory is as full of holes as QAnon shit.
Yeah, no need to answer anything I point out just put your hands over your ears and tell me I'm QANON and full of shit that'll really make your point and help your position here.
Come to think of it maybe there's a reason you're getting all the down votes...
I also responded to your "points"
The downvotes are just "rich people bad" shit, same as ever.
Rich people are bad
And yet your take here has nothing to do with the reality of Epstein's crimes nor his suicide. It has nothing to do with the actual suicides passed off as conspiracies.
Unsealed BUT with copious amounts of black marker used on the list to cover up names.
What a dumb move. All the names? The judge must know that people will not be smart enough to realize being on the list doesn't mean you're guilty of any crime. And it's going to include victims? And people who might have just been included in an email?
I'm all for going after any criminals, but the problem with the outcome of this is that people are stupid and will think that inclusion on the list is the same as guilt. If we are also talking about people who fought successfully to have their names protected, it's the rich people with means who won't end up being made public.
If people were generally rational, this would be a good thing. But we're not, and it seems that all sense is thrown out the window when it comes to Epstein.
