Robert Epstein, the mega-millionaire financier at the center of a far-reaching underage sex trafficking scandal is dead.
Epstein was reported dead by prison officials at the Metropolitan Correctional Center in Manhattan at 6:30 a.m. Saturday morning according to the New York Times. Epstein was reportedly found hanging in his cell.
Epstein was the center of a far-reaching sex trafficking ring which included underaged girls, at least 2 American Presidents (Clinton and Trump), Prince Andrew and billionaire Leslie H. Wexner. The multi-millionaire financier was indicted last month in New York City on charges of federal sex trafficking charges. Declared an extreme flight risk, Epstein had been detained in Manhattan jail.
Before turning to Twitter conspiracy theorists who believe both Clinton and Trump have a hand in Epstein’s alleged suicide, let us turn to HBO series ‘The Wire.’
Already in jail for drug-related charges, De’Angelo Barksdale begins talking to detectives about some of the more unscrupulous undertakings of the Barksdale/Bell organization. Ultimately, he retracts his statement but to the organization, he’s a snitch. Soon after, an inmate attacks with a leather strap and chokes him to death. Ultimately, he wraps the strap around the doorknob to give the appearance of suicide by hanging.
With intimate knowledge of the organization’s plan, he could have easily shaved years off his lengthy sentence. Stringer couldn’t have that and ordered the hit. Thus, the beginning of the downfall of Avon and Stringer. Much like De’Angelo, Epstein was immersed in a web of epic proportions that could topple a number of ivory towers.
