Jeffrey Epstein, the Palm Beach millionaire who was arrested earlier this month on child sex-trafficking charges, was found injured in his New York jail cell Wednesday, News 4 New York reported.

The station said Epstein, 66, was found in the fetal position and had marks on his neck, citing sources close to the investigation. The station said it may have been a possible suicide attempt, quoting sources.

Last Thursday, Senior U.S. District Judge Richard M. Berman in New York ordered the accused serial sexual predator to remain incarcerated at the Manhattan Correctional Center. Berman, who listened to testimony from two women who said they had been abused by Epstein as teenagers, said Epstein was a danger to young girls.

1. Will I go to hell if I say...

Oh, goody.

Then again, suicide isn't enough.

3. Right, we need all his money to go to great things....and when he's dead no one

will get anything. We need him alive. Suicide is to damn easy for this piece of shit.

2. he is still alive so he did not

tell how to find his insurance files.

4. Choking himself to death?

That sounds a bit difficult. Hmm.

[Liberty Belle]

5. He needs to stay alive long enough to rat out Trump and

anyone else who was engaged in raping or sexually abusing children, no matter who they are.

I wonder if this was a warning to him not to squeal. Who else if anyone had access to him in the cell?

6. A ploy to get transferred?

“Investigators believe Epstein may have done it to himself either on purpose or as a ploy to get transferred out of the jail, sources said.”

7. While details may be scant or nonspecific at this point, the article says "marks on his neck" so BFD

I can make marks on my neck with my finger nails. Is this article only saying things which are underwhelming on their face because that is all the info they have, or all the info there is?

It could have said he was bleeding. It did not.
It could have said there was a noose. It did not.
It could have said he was unconscious. It did not.
It could have said life-threatening injuries. It did not.
It could have said someone had access to his cell, or he was not alone in the cell. It did not.

I'm not saying this is a nothing-burger, but it definitely is not a burger yet.

9. Well, you can't call it a veggie burger

At least not in Arkansas, anyway.

8. If someone wanted to hurt him in prison, he would have more than marks on his neck. nt

10. Isn't there video surveillance

throughout these prisons?

11. Does Epstein Have Any Enemies Or Anyone That May Want Him Dead For Some Reason?...(sarcasm)....nt

[JudyM]

12. Locking.
