What do Jeffrey Epstein and Deborah Jeane Palfrey (the DC Madam) have in common?

1. Both catered to the sexual needs of very powerful men, including US Goverment officials and foreign leaders, and;

2. Both died unexpectedly and mysteriously of putative suicide by hanging.

I'd love to see a Venn diagram of other common elements of Epstein-world and Palfrey-world, including (but not limited to) their client lists.

Epstein was obscenely rich and used to his lavish and hedonistic lifestyle. It makes sense that he’d off himself, knowing that he’d never see that life again.

Occam’s razor is way simpler the contorting one’s mind.

Conspiracy theories have trouble holding up if we look at all the people who WEREN'T taken out in order to keep from getting in the way of the people we think are taking people out who get in their way.
