A federal judge has released the handwritten note allegedly written by Jeffrey Epstein.
The note, claimed to be his “suicide note”, was discovered by his former cellmate after 7 years as a convicted sex offender.
The undated, unsigned memo that could prove Epstein’s identity was released Wednesday, May 6, by Judge Kenneth M. Karas of the Federal District Court in White Plains, New York.
The note reads: “They investigated me for months, FOUND NOTHING!!! It’s a pleasure to be able to choose your time to say goodbye. Watcha wants me to do- Bust out cryin!! NO FUN – NOT WORTH IT!!
In court documents, Epstein’s fellow inmate Nicholas Tartaglione, a former police officer convicted of quadruple murder, said he found the note in a graphic novel after Epstein’s July 2019 suicide attempt. Tartaglione claims he revived Epstein through CPR after the suicide attempt.
Epstein was found dead in his Manhattan jail cell a few weeks later at the age of 66, the cause of death being suicide. Since then, Epstein’s death has been the center of conspiracy theories, despite the Justice Department releasing prison surveillance footage last year and revealing that no one entered his cell that day.
Experts compare the handwriting from his earlier postcards. There are a few similarities in both handwriting samples, including a slight lean to the right, joining of letters in a cursive fashion, and some inconsistency in the spacing of words, indicating that both authors have a relatively disorganized way of writing.
No authoritative sources have yet confirmed that it was written by Epstein himself.
