    This is 1000x more likely to be a clerical error or time zone thing rather than a conspiracy.

      His body was supposedly discovered on August 10 at 6:30am. Which time zone are you suggesting?

      Edit: also it says Friday, August 9, 2019 which is much harder to make a mistake.

      I don’t see the document in the article, here it is: https://www.justice.gov/epstein/files/DataSet 8/EFTA00013180.pdf

      This looks like it was a draft. Here’s the final version https://www.justice.gov/usao-sdny/pr/statement-manhattan-us-attorney-death-defendant-jeffrey-epstein it is slightly modified and adds “of apparent suicide”

      Occam’s Razor says that explanation with fewest assumptions is likely the right one. With all the other coincidences that led to his death, his apparent suicide requires a lot of more assumptions.

        Occam’s Razor says that explanation with fewest assumptions is likely the right one.

        Yeah, the Occam’s razor answer definitely isn’t that someone reused an existing document from the day before and forgot to change the date. That’s just unbelievable. It’s more likely that this was a premeditated murder and someone filed the paperwork a day early on accident.

          Yeah, the cleric filled it too early. Didn’t want to work on Saturday.
