> Epstein could use his immense resources and connections to make sure that someone was looking the other way when he attempted.

If we're entering conspiracy theory territory, why couldn't Epstein use said resources and connections to find a lookalike/prop artist, buy people and fake his own suicide?

It’s not actually a conspiracy theory to suggest that — all that’s required is ordinary corruption.

Another possibility that doesn't require a conspiracy theory: Epstein's death is fake but blatantly obvious because he agreed to be a protected witness.

That's also a conspiracy theory...

A conspiracy theory is just a theory that a group is conspiring without the knowledge of others. In this case, the conspiring group is the one faking the death.

I never thought of the witness protection program as a conspiracy, but I guess it fits.
