Bribe the two guards with cash. Threaten to kill them and their families if they talk. It's pretty straightforward. Most people think that they are good people and would do the right thing in this situation, even though most people have no reason whatsoever to believe that they would act morally right if it became a serious sacrifice.

Nope, straight up, some people come up to me, bribe me and threaten me or my family so they can kill a pedophile and I wouldn't hesitate for a second. I'd hand them the keys and walk away.

I think it's good that you admit this. You're less likely to put yourself in a situation where you could do bad things.

I’m not the parent commenter, but even this seems less straightforward than you’re making out.

For example, how do you know which guards are assigned to Epstein’s cell, and how do you get in contact with them? Is it only one guard, or are there several in rotation? Where do you get this information? Once they accept your bribe, how do you get the money to them?

I’m just thinking about the logistics of the situation. Surely someone who can do all of this stuff would be considered skilful.

> Surely someone who can do all of this stuff would be considered skilful.

Or merely someone who guards report to.

Someone with a background in national intelligence would be very proficient at doing all of this.
