Judge releases Epstein's supposed farewell letter

A federal judge in New York has made public a letter that alleged financier Jeffrey Epstein wrote in his prison cell weeks before his death. The New York Times reports that the letter, which has not been verified as Epstein's handwriting, was released on Wednesday.

De efterforskede mig i månedsvis - fandt intet

The letter begins: "They investigated me for months – found nothing." It further states that his imprisonment is due to accusations dating back many years. Epstein then adds: "It is a pleasure to be able to choose when to say goodbye." The letter concludes with: "What do you want me to do – burst into tears!! Not fun. Not worth it."

Det er en fornøjelse selv at kunne vælge, hvornår man vil sige farvel.

Epstein's then-cellmate, Nicholas Tartaglione, told The New York Times last week that he found the letter in July 2019, after Epstein was found unconscious with a fabric strip around his neck. Epstein survived that incident. A few weeks later, the 66-year-old financier was found dead in his Manhattan jail cell. A medical examiner at the time concluded it was a suicide.
