I choose to believe Epstein killed himself before getting a dose of polonium or a visit from the butcher of benghazi or whatever. Nicer to imagine he didn't get to go out struggling to live, he had to do it all himself.

Because the thread where people laugh at conspiracy theories shouldn't have people who instantly begin spreading conspiracy theories as soon as they validate their own world view and make them more comfortable.

I think we should trust an entire year of reporting on federal prisons having the exact issues with staffing and irresponsibility that are being brought up now that a high-profile prisoner died.

You could try trusting all the evidence that came from other places (like a year's worth of reporting on the prison conditions that are now coming to light). Or that the FBI is raiding Epstein's island and legal experts are saying his death made poo poo even easier because he can't contest any seizures, so killing him would have been a dumbass move.

Also the strong evidence that Epstein was terrified of being incarcerated and would likely be inclined to take his own life when faced with almost certainly spending the rest of it in prison.

I mean, you did that then posted as if you were disagreeing with the idea that we shouldn't take rando twitter lady as a trustworthy authority. Like it seemed very much like once you rejected the official story you decided to glom on to literally the first thing you saw as the actual true thing then defend it like it meant something and people disagreeing were mock worthy.

Well, thank goodness that's only happening in your imagination, then. "I uncritically believe the official narrative and anything else is a ridiculous conspiracy theory" and "I wholly reject the official narrative and uncritically believe any conspiracy theory I read" aren't the only options, and it's absurd to pretend otherwise.

On the other hand, there's evidence like various prosecutors pointing out the last successful suicide in that facility was 20 years ago. And while it's true that Epstein can't argue things like protection vs search and seizure, he's also not alive to provide testimony and evidence to prosecutors in exchange for lenient treatment. If he has hidden blackmail evidence in other places and there's no record of it in his official residences, that evidence may not come to light. And our justice system is weighted disproportionately towards witness accounts, even though they are proven to be garbage. He may well have used codes or ciphers in an attempt to protect his life so that blackmail evidence he compiled was only valuable with him to explain.

So I don't think the hypothesis that something suspicious occurred is unwarranted at this time. Conspiracies do occur. They don't involve the Templars the Last Scion and the Freemasons and hide the moon landing. They are powerful people collaborating in pursuing or protecting their interests.

There's a big loving difference between criminals hiding or destroying their evidence before the cops get there and a prisoner being murdered in a way that perfectly matches what conditions at the prison predicted could happen unintentionally a year ago. Unless you're suggesting that Trump's cutting of funding to cause short-staffed federal prisons with apathetic not-guards pressed into guard duty was playing the really long game for murder.

a) deep state hitman confirming his kill to pseudo-anonymous imageboard
b) EMS neckbeard who has advanced knowledge of the situation wants notoriety and internet fame.

As people say, multiple things can be true at the same time. The FBI can be corrupt and Epstein could have committed suicide because of an underfunded prison with irresponsible not-guards pressed into service to make up the difference. These things can exist in the same world!
