"Epstein despised his cell, so he used his vast wealth to exploit a legal loophole..."

[Miles Archer]

On Saturday, The New York Times published an account of the final days of high-powered wealth manager Jeffrey Epstein, who was found dead of apparent suicide in New York’s Metropolitan Correctional Center while facing trial for child sex trafficking.

One of the key new revelations from the report is that Epstein despised his cell, which was “cramped, dank and infested with vermin” — so he used his vast wealth to exploit a legal loophole in the prison system that would let him spend most of his time outside of it: hire a bunch of lawyers to come and talk to him for hours and hours so he could get a private room to himself.

During these marathon sessions, Epstein’s legal team reportedly kept emptying the vending machines.

1. "infested with vermin"

He WAS the vermin!

3. Poetic justice.

If he was gaming the system regarding his cell, he damn sure intended to game the system in order to avoid spending the rest of his life in a cell. We'll never know if he would have had enough money and enough pull to have lightning strike twice and just walk away, but my preference would have been for him to spend the rest of his life in a cell.

2. Why are they describing him as a high-powered wealth manager?

He was wealthy but no one has knowledge of how he acquired it.
Why didn't they describe him as wealthy sex offender?

4. I agree...a "resume" is basically your greatest accomplishment or worst offense.

That's his "legacy," that's his epitaph...wealthy sex offender. Wealthy pedophile. The rest is secondary and irrelevant.

7. That would be libel

He was never convicted so journalists won't state affirm the charges as true, no matter how overwhelming the evidence is.

8. Yes, he was convicted and served a sentence

He had to register as a sex offender. Truth is not libel.

9. I had forgotten the first trial

5. How Much of Epstein's Wealth Came From Sex Trafficking?

I’m guessing a very large percentage.

6. The rest came from blackmail
