Jeffrey Epstein is gone, but allegations against powerful associates linger

The sudden death of multimillionaire Jeffrey Epstein on Saturday leaves loose ends, now unlikely to be resolved, in the investigation into the sex-trafficking network he allegedly ran with the help of associates, including British socialite Ghislaine Maxwell.

Even before his death, with Epstein behind bars for the past month, some of the focus had shifted to others who either were aware of or possibly participated in the exploitation of underage girls and young women. Epstein traveled the world, often with an entourage of young women, and maintained homes in Palm Beach, Manhattan, Paris, New Mexico and on his private island in the Caribbean.

Even if Epstein killed himself, someone high up needs to be held accountable for not having him on suicide watch. Absolutely irresponsible given the marks on his neck a short time ago

his death is just a little too convenient. I bet there was a huge payout to those in charge of his incarceration.
