An independent activist journalist has been digging into the case and has come up with some interesting and alarming connections and history. Worth a read: https://libertyblitzkrieg.com/2019/07/08/the-jeffrey-epstein...

That is interesting although I'm wary of any allusions to a suicide or accident (of Robert Maxwell) being nefarious without some pretty significant proof. Like... it's just a recipe for getting painted as a tin foil hat wearing conspiracy theorist.

As for the relation to Robert Maxwell, didn't his connection to underage girls at that time come from him being a teacher at an elite school? Wouldn't you expect such students to have famous and/or rich parents?

But here's the big one... can we please stop shoe-horning long form content into "Twitter threads"? That's not a thing. It's a terrible way of presenting long form content and it needs to die.

Physological evidence from the corpse, which was recovered, pretty conclusively demonstrates that Maxwell's death was a suicide.

Thanks for the warning about the twitter thread -- I didn't bother to click the link.
