Jeffrey Epstein’s Suicide Note Released to Public After Delayed Disclosure

After being kept sealed for several years, an alleged suicide note penned by Jeffrey Epstein has now come to light.

Per The New York Times, the note contains statements like, “They investigated me for months — FOUND NOTHING!!!”

Epstein expressed a sense of autonomy in choosing when to end his life, writing, “It is a treat to be able to choose one’s time to say goodbye. Watcha want me to do — Bust out cryin!!”

The note ends starkly with the words “NO FUN,” which are emphatically underlined, followed by “NOT WORTH IT!!”

This note was discovered after Epstein was found with a strip of cloth around his neck in July 2019, following an unsuccessful suicide attempt.

In August of that year Epstein killed himself inside Metropolitan Correctional Center in New York City at the age of 66.

The note was made public on Wednesday after The New York Times petitioned the court to unseal it.

Epstein’s cellmate Nicholas Tartaglione found the note after the failed attempt and it ended up being part of his own criminal case. 

In an interview with the outlet, Tartaglione said the note was found tucked inside a graphic novel after Epstein was moved to a different part of the jail. 

He then handed it over to his lawyers after Epstein claimed that it was Tartaglione that had hurt him, not himself.

There was no mention of the note as part of the official investigation into Epstein’s death. 

A chronology which mentions the existence of the note was found inside the Epstein files which details its journey after being passed around numerous lawyers. 

That file said that Tartaglione’s lawyers managed to authenticate the note, an explanation as to how they did so is not revealed. 

Judge Kenneth Karas asked the parties involved if they had any view on the note being made public. 

The US attorney’s office in Manhattan, who prosecuted Tartaglione, said ‘there appears to be a strong public interest in the circumstances surrounding Epstein’s death’, the Times reported.

Following the release of more than three million documents related to the late sex offender by the DOJ, more questions have been raised about the nature of his death. 

Earlier this year never-before-seen footage revealed the moment prison guards found the pedophile’s corpse. 

A video shows the a guard approaching a desk near Epstein’s cell at 6:30am on the day of his death. Seconds later, the person then makes his way to the cell.

Over a minute after this, a guard can be seen moving back and forth between the security desk, where he is joined by two others, and the area housing Epstein’s cell.

The guards are then seen running between the two areas. Epstein was officially declared dead at 6:39am. 

His post-mortem found three distinct fractures were identified on his neck: one on the left hyoid and one in the thyroid cartilage on the right side, and one on the left.

At the time of his death he had pleaded not guilty after federal prosecutors charged him with sex trafficking minors and conspiracy. He was awaiting trial when he died. 

His suicide fueled public speculation that he was assassinated as part of a cover-up to protect high-profile individuals who were potentially complicit in his crimes.

From that, a theory that the well-connected financier maintained a list of clients to whom underage girls were trafficked emerged. 

Aside from Ghislaine Maxwell, who was jailed for 20 years for her role in luring underage girls for her former boyfriend Epstein, there have been no US arrests relating to the financier or the names released in the files relating to him.
