I think jail is the most secure place to him, IMHO if he doesn't end up in jail someone will kill him, he screwed good and bad actors. It is not like Madoff screwing people who will not retaliate at the violent level.
The difference is that Epstein had dirt on them, some of which is also in a few little black books that the FBI has probably lost from their evidence locker.
Epstein and Maxwell are the only human traffickers ever to be convicted without anyone in the DoJ even questioning who they trafficked children to.
Epstein had every reason in the world to kill himself. But yes, in general, prison is not a secure place if there are people that want you dead. You're around plenty of people who wouldn't blink at stabbing you if it means they'll get some money in their commissary account or if a gang compels them to do it.
Interesting to discuss this. Assuming Epstein was killed, I think Epstein case is special for his strong connections with the US power AND knowledge about these people and organizations. I don't it is easy to work at the jail level (without leaving tracks) if you are not a US insider. I see the SBF case different: he has screwed people around the globe with multiple different ethics about how to solve the issue. I see his position comparable with Salman Rushdie situation but not related with religion.
BTW, where can someone learn about the Epstein story? In the surface it seems a very rare character, for me, at least, it is difficult to connect the pederastian and procurer with someone who made a lot of money from other unknown activities. It seems these two, are separate things and it is not clear why he don't just pursued one of these activities and why he and Maxwell were abusing people at the same time instead of separating their business with their personal sexual choices. Top drug dealers see drugs as a business because having an addiction will ruin it.
How many homicides happen in West Palm Beach or San Mateo?
People who think this guy won't come out still a millionaire out of this are delusional. As I said enough money to have a mansion in West Palm Beach or San Mateo, he'd only have to party at home for a while.
Which prison gang would take him in, though? Most prison gangs are race/ethnicity based and I don't think the Aryan Brotherhood would be too keen to take in a Jew who donated billions to leftist political causes.
