SummaryChapter Twelve: The Death — Suicide or Conspiracy?
Nov 28, 201900:30:14Tap to summarizeThat Jeffrey Epstein’s suicide was a relief to the world’s most powerful men – including the British Royal Family and the President of the United States – is beyond dispute. His silence puts an end to fears of embarrassing revelations in court, which in turn raises suspicions that he did not take his own life at all. Could Epstein have been an international spy silenced by his handlers? We examine all the circumstances and conspiracies around Epstein’s sudden death, ask why he was taken off suicide watch and how he gathered the materials to end his life, and probe into what his passing means for his victims and for those accused of complicity in his crimes. We will answer the question on everyone’s minds: Who actually killed Jeffrey Epstein?

Transcribe →Chapter Nine: Above Your Pay Grade
Nov 7, 201900:27:48Tap to summarizePolice interviewed dozens of victims of Jeffrey Epstein and recommended a charge of at least four counts of unlawful sex with minors. But, in a scandalous miscarriage of justice, Epstein was allowed to plead guilty to soliciting prostitution – a plea deal that has been described as an example of a “defendant and government working together against the victims.” Sentenced to 18 months in prison, he was housed in his own wing, allowed out for 12 hours a day, and granted visitors, including women. Alexander Acosta, the State Attorney who brokered the deal, says he was told Epstein was “above [his] pay grade” and to “leave it alone”. Who was pulling the strings? Acosta was a member of Donald Trump’s Cabinet until after Epstein’s arrest, when he resigned. In this episode, attorneys and investigators who worked on that case at the time explain how Epstein got away with his sweetheart deal – and why it was a massive mistake.See Privacy Policy at https://art19.com/privacy and California Privacy Notice at https://art19.com/privacy#do-not-sell-my-info.
