The first thing can’t be sourced because.... it’s bullshit. There are no “guards stationed to watch Epstein...” he was taken off suicide watch and was alone in a cell. He’s not Magneto or some shit- he’s not in some cage with guards standing outside 24/7. There are guards who watch over an area and do rounds. The guards did not make their designated window to check in on Epstein around the time he died- why hasn’t been answered that I can find. 2. Seems to be a rumor started by a guy who specializes in paid “social media information warfare” and hasn’t been sourced by anyone, Micheal Coudrey.

It is still quite mysterious- it’s certainly possible that one of the many high profile and rich or powerful people who were involved didn’t want this going to trial and made arrangements. It’s also possible someone who would benefit from certain people’s names being cleared as possible clients didn’t want that to happen- or of course that “convenient” as it may seem- it could have been an accident or even perhaps the work of those who knew victims or those within the prison who had a grudge against the guy. Child molesters and the like tend to be disliked even by some of the “worst” criminals- and a guy like that who had a very good chance of getting off with little or no punishment because of good lawyers, connections, deals he could make, etc? Someone might just decide to take “justice” into their own hands and saw a shot and lined it up.
Of course it’s also plausible that an under staffed prison system (the guards on duty were deep into over time shifts) in a country who’s attitude to prison is largely “fuck em, they wouldn’t be in jail if they weren’t animals so let’s treat em like animals...” with many dedicated and honorable guards but enough who don’t care or are down right corrupt, incompetent, or sadistic- that a suicidal inmate was left unattended and killed themselves- given dude likely knew he was totally screwed anyway in life and disgraced- wether he felt shame or not. Lots of theories- facts are forth coming. Best to wait and see before we decide the truth. Of course whatever the investigation turns up that won’t stop people from saying the FBI is in on it- and they COULD be right. But whatever we may decide for ourselves we don’t have enough fact yet to make even an educated guess.
He was accused of high profile sex trafficking of underage women. He’d then charge rich and influential people to get massages and supposedly sex from them in private setting. Right wing conspiracy theorists have been working super hard to try and link him to bill Clinton using innocuous random photos and claiming that anywhere Clinton is belongs to Epstein and any woman with him is a sex slave. Stuff like that. Epstein was facing indictment and likely knows some very big named people he could implicate to get leniency. So theories abound that when Epstein was found awhile back in jail with marks in his necks it wasn’t a suicide attempt but a murder attempt. He was placed on suicide watch but then taken off right before he killed himself- so people speculate more.
The story from the prison, per NYT, is that the guards were supposed to check on him every 30 minutes, but didn't because of short staff. The DOJ, FBI, and BoP are going to investigate.
