I’m sure it was possible to swap Epstein out. I just don’t think there was the motivation for it

No one wants Epstein alive. The rich and powerful want to bury their crimes, normal people want retribution. The only motivator I can imagine would be a deadman switch, but even if Epstein were smuggled out, the rich and powerful would have dismantled any blackmail Epstein had by now and finished the job

I see no path that still has Epstein alive at this point
