AI has finally reached a point at which it can fake videos well enough that most people will believe it. Just in time for the fake Epstein suicide video!

Epstein didn't kill himself, nor is he dead. He's living out his retirement on another pedo island, as a reward for a kompromate job well done.

Based on what?

I get the conspiracy that he was killed by people with something to cover up. But what is the motivation for rewarding him?

Unless you suppose he has a very compelling dead man's switch?

Not for a second that I believe the conspiracy, but he would be rewarded for taking the blame post-mortem so a lot of other rich people don't.

Epstein was just a con man, he wove a fog of mystery around himself as part of the con and people are still being duped by it to this day.

Why was he photographed on his island wearing a cap that said "missed" ?

Much safer and easier to have him killed, though.

(Not saying that he was, just that it seems the much more plausible theory than the reward one.)

Based on the fact that the security cameras "weren't working" and the guards were "sleeping" at the moment he did it. When one of the highest profile criminals was in their unit. Bull crap.
