A federal judge in New York has ordered a vast unsealing of court documents in early 2024 that will make public the names of scores of Jeffrey Epstein's associates.
I’m not surprised it was ordered to be unsealed. I’ll be more than a little surprised if an accurate list is actually unsealed. But, anything’s possible I guess.
Deborah Jeane Palfrey has entered the chat. I swear I remember seeing news stories at the time saying that she’d specifically told family members: I’m not planning to kill myself, but I am threatening to release the identities of powerful men who made use of my services. If I die it’s because they killed me.
But now, all I can find is that it was clearly a suicide. Oh well.
Edit: Someone argued with me enough about it that I actually tried to read up on it, and I think what I was remembering was that Alex Jones said that if she died it’s because they killed her, and some people reported on that, along with some carefully cherry-picked quotes from her interview on his show. She did say that she wasn’t planning to kill herself, but only because he directly asked her as part of his normal Alex Jones shtick, and of course she said “no.” But she never said that on any other program, as far as I can tell, and everyone reliable who investigated concluded that the suicide was probably real. So the mystery is resolved. Sounds like she killed herself. 😢 At least I learned something today.
She actually said the exact opposite. From your link:
Palfrey’s two handwritten notes were released to the public. In one of them, she wrote to her sister, “You must comprehend there was no way out, I.E. ‘exit strategy,’ for me other than the one I have chosen here.” In another, she described her predicament as a “modern-day lynching”. She said she feared that, at the end of serving her sentence, she would be “in my late 50s a broken, penniless and very much alone woman”.[28][30]
Wait. So you’re evaluating the theory that powerful people in the US government killed a woman, faked two (…) suicide notes for her, successfully coerced her lawyer into not divulging her client list (which he has, and desperately wants to divulge), and put down the memory hole all the original news stories that talked about her being afraid she’d be killed for threatening her clients with exposure… but the fly in the whole ointment of the theory is that they’d have to find someone who could write similar to how she writes?
Honestly, I think I’m probably misremembering, and I’m mixing her up with some other person that powerful people actually did have killed. Not because the note was handwritten; I just think there would be places on the internet that were pretty readily findable where would be published the original stories I read back at the time.
I wasn’t trying to get into all of this, tbh, because like I say I’m just sort of talking and have no idea. I was just relaying my (maybe faulty) memories and letting people be their own judge.
Edit: Oh fuck, the plot thickens. I found what I was thinking of. According to randos on Reddit, she explicitly talked about not having any plans to kill herself on an episode of Alex Jones which is no longer easily available. Make of that what you will 😃.
Because powerful people were his associates. I’m surprised it is being unsealed.

“Those on the list were allowed to redact whatever parts they liked”

Emphasis mine.
Yes, I read the sources I linked to. Here’s what I said about it:
What did you think I was talking about, what I said that? If not that the stories I can find now all say it was a legit suicide?
Maybe my memory is faulty, or maybe the suicide note is fake. Which it is, I have no idea.
Seems very unlikely that two handwritten suicide notes could be plausibly faked that well when there are many examples of her handwriting

Well if it’s on Alex Jones it must be true. He’s famously a very sober and serious reporter.
Also it’s fun how you mix conspiracy theories and foreign nationals in your links, as if that somehow makes your case.
Conspiracy theories make conspiracy theorists look like idiots. You don’t want to be that guy.
Well they needed to clean it first before they unsealed it.
Gotta blur some names so they won’t be prosecuted.
