#1 Epstein is dead, the island is scrubbed. All they need is to wrap up his girlfriend, once they figure out how to deactivate the deadman switch.

#3 He had the goods on many, many people.

In the end, it didn't do him much good, did it?

#5 He had very, very powerful friends, some of whom were victims of his blackmail and some of whom were his business partners and clients, certainly Swamp Partners and that pesky office complex in Jerusalem.

M. Murcek,

And this is what I still can't figure out. For all his twisted, perverted sociopathy, he was a smart dude...but he didn't seem to have a bolthole somewhere (Costa Rica would have welcomed him as long as he kept his head down, Dubai probably wouldn't have objected too loudly, there's a couple of Pacific islands he could have lived in quite comfortably, and none of those places have extradition treaties) and he didn't appear to have a dead man's switch.

Instead, he stayed where he could be reached by the Authorities, and ended up dangling from a light fixture in a cell.

Assuming, of course, he is dead. But that's another can of worms entirely.

#8 Epstein chose to serve evil. He was convinced of his own value to their endeavors. He must have continued to believe that he had enough value to be rescued. It is also possible that he repented. It is conceivable that Epstein is still alive exploiting kids somewhere out of the public view. Most likely, though, Jefferey is dead, on a meat hook in torment. He possibly exchanged his eternal inheritance for some temporary jollies. Either he went out or will go out as the prodigal son or Faust.

#9 He probably assumed he was immune byt I guess he outlived his immunity

#10 she hopes Epstein "is in hell."

I'm not convinced.
