      That someone was exposed as a teenage “hacker”.

      I used quotes because it was more social engineering and lying than any sort of hack.

        “hacker”… According to Epic, someone changed their handle to Epstein’s handle that was exposed in the files. There was no hacking involved.

        I would absolutely believe it that he was walked out and flown to Israel where he lives as a hero of the pedo-genocide state, but his brother who identified his body is vocal about evidence it wasn’t a suicide. I’m not sure what incentive he’d have to both lie about identifying his brother’s body and making so much noise about it being a murder…

          Remember that he was deeply involved in Epstein’s businesses, including holding the position of president over the J Epstein & Co investment firm.

            Then if he went far enough to lie about identifying the body, it would serve him to not make a lot of noise about there being a big government conspiracy around it…

              True, assuming this is rational behavior. People can do some pretty crazy things out of hubris or pressure though.

              I’m not going to definitively state that Jeffery isn’t dead. It really is most plausible that he died that night. I just, wouldn’t be surprised if he showed up alive.
