We keep track of the release of the files, but also to explore what’s already available, and why – with enough exposure – this could bring the man down, and who knows even his regime or the empire.

Few people had known about the note until Tartaglione, a former police officer serving a life sentence for killing four people, mentioned it last year on writer Jessica Reed Kraus’ podcast.

Tartaglione claimed he discovered the note in a book after Epstein was found on the floor of their cell at a Manhattan federal jail on July 23, 2019, with a strip of bedsheet around the financier’s neck. That was about three weeks before Epstein was found dead in his cell in what authorities concluded was a suicide.

“They investigated me for month -- found nothing!!!” said the short note, which is hard to decipher in some places. “It is a treat to be able to choose” the “time to say goodbye,” the note continues. “Watcha want me to do -- Bust out cryin!!”

”NO FUN,” the note concludes, with those words underlined. “NOT WORTH IT!!”

It is unclear who wrote the note Tartaglione claimed to have found. It wasn’t mentioned in the lengthy government reports examining the circumstances of Epstein’s death, nor did it surface in the Justice Department’s recent release of files on the late financier.

The style and errors almost makes me think it was written by Trump himself.

"And by the way before I kill myself my last wish is to proclaim that I do not know donald j. trump and also he deserves a big beautiful ballroom. Thank you for your attention to this matter".

Hmm. Sounds like something you'd leave in the cell of the guy you just hustled out of jail to convince the general public that he'd really killed himself.

Obviously they did find stuff and Epstein was pretty proud and blatant regarding all the shit he did.

Also not certified to be written by Epstein

Tartaglione was transferred out after Epstein claimed he was trying to extort him with violence. From what I read previously, for some reason none of the reporting I've read now has mentioned that part.
