The Jeffrey Epstein case is one of the biggest scandals of recent decades: sex trafficking of underage girls, connections to the global elite, and a death under suspicious circumstances in custody in 2019. It is precisely the combination of unthinkable crimes, the power of contacts, and the lack of complete transparency that has created fertile ground for conspiracy theories about the entire Epstein affair.
The release of nearly 3.5 million documents from the Epstein Dossier by the US Department of Justice (DoJ) has brought many of them to light. Here's a more detailed analysis of each.
"Epstein did not commit suicide"
This is perhaps the most widely held theory. US authorities ruled Jeffrey Epstein's death a suicide by hanging in his cell at the Manhattan Correctional Center in August 2019.
But several factors raised suspicions that this was not the whole truth:
- The security cameras near the cell were not working.
- The prison guards were reported to have been asleep at the time the incident occurred.
- Epstein was removed from special supervision shortly before his death.
- He was expected to cooperate with investigators.
These elements, combined with the fact that he had connections to powerful political and financial figures, made the public skeptical. The slogan "Epstein didn't kill himself" went viral globally.
However, official investigations have not come to any conclusion other than suicide.
"Epstein is alive"
An extreme version of the first theory claims that he "disappeared" and was released from prison. Variants include:
- Trump helped in his escape,
- lives in Israel,
- lives in an underground bunker,
- or he has completely changed his identity and face and is roaming free.
Death-faking conspiracy theories are common, but there is no material evidence to support any of these claims.
The "super race" program and eugenics
This theory is based on real media reports. Media outlets such as the New York Times reported that Epstein had discussed eugenics ideas with Harvard scientists, including a plan to impregnate many women on his New Mexico estate to "spread his DNA" and improve humanity.
