The Federal Bureau of Investigation (FBI), in a ground-breaking new report, has put to rest long-standing conspiracy theories about Jeffrey Epstein’s death, confirming that the disgraced financier died by suicide and had no secret “client list" as speculated by some of his high-profile associates.

The findings are part of a detailed investigation that challenges popular narratives suggesting Epstein’s death was a result of foul play or cover-ups by powerful elites.

No Foul Play In Epstein’s Death

Epstein, who was awaiting trial on charges of sex trafficking involving minors, was found dead in his Manhattan jail cell in August 2019. His sudden death, coupled with his connections to high-profile figures, quickly fuelled a slew of theories, ranging from murder by those fearing exposure to claims of a hidden list of powerful clients who allegedly engaged in criminal activities.

However, the FBI’s review of the case, published by the US Department of Justice (DOJ), reaffirmed that Epstein’s death was the result of suicide by hanging. The report also debunked rumours that Epstein had a list of influential clients who were potentially involved in illegal activities. The FBI investigation found no evidence to support such claims, asserting that allegations of blackmail and extortion by Epstein were unfounded.

‘Client List’ Theories Debunked

Since Epstein’s arrest, numerous theories have emerged, claiming he had compiled a “client list" involving prominent figures, including former US Presidents, British royalty, and business tycoons. Conspiracy theorists speculated that Epstein had extensive knowledge of powerful individuals’ alleged misconduct, leading to claims that these individuals may have had a hand in his death to prevent the exposure of their secrets.

However, the DOJ’s findings suggest that no such list existed. According to the investigation, despite Epstein’s connections to many influential figures, there is no evidence that he maintained a list of clients or partners in illicit activities. The claims surrounding the so-called “client list" have been consistently debunked by both the FBI and independent investigators.

Justice Department Releases New Evidence

In addition to dispelling the client list theory, the DOJ released new video footage from the night of Epstein’s death, showing that he was alone in his cell at the time of his death, supporting the conclusion of suicide. The footage also shows that there were no signs of foul play or external interference.

The revelation has sparked mixed reactions, with some of Epstein’s survivors and critics of the system questioning the thoroughness of the investigation, especially given the high-profile nature of the case. However, the DOJ’s report aims to provide transparency, emphasising that all available evidence was reviewed to ensure a fair conclusion.
