Jeffrey Epstein's brother claims newly released suicide note was forged
Source: Raw Story · Bias: Far Left
Summary
Jeffrey Epstein's brother, Mark Epstein, disputed the authenticity of an alleged suicide note released Wednesday after being sealed for nearly seven years. Mark Epstein told the National Enquirer that if his brother intended to end his life, "he would've written it 'to somebody,' not just a blanket statement saying goodbye." The note was allegedly discovered by Epstein's former cellmate, Nicholas Tartaglione -- a former police officer convicted of kidnapping and murdering four men. Tartagliome claimed to have found the note in a graphic novel. The New York Times successfully pressed for its release. While the note's contents include language similar to Epstein's past emails — including the phrase "watcha want me to do – bust out cryin"— Mark Epstein rejected its authenticity as a "forgery." Mark Epstein described the incident that led him to dispute the note's authenticity: weeks before Jeffrey Epstein's death, Jeffrey was found semi-conscious in his cell with “marks on his neck,” according to NBC 4. Epstein would then accuse Tartaglione of attacking him, though he would later retract his accusation.Watch the video below. Your browser does not support the video tag.
