    How very Russian

    Normally I don't think anyone has a right to know the circumstances of someone's tragedy, but in this case I'd really like to know if he threw himself off a roof onto some bullets.

      Actually suicide, because that's how this works.

      Capitalist society is a weapon that can be turned on anyone at any time. Ask yourself how many missed paychecks you are from homelessness, and then speak out to learn if you're right.

      here's the key quote from the article.

      Shortly after the episode aired, Andriesz spoke at a Transparency Task Force event about what he said was the UK regulator’s mistreatment of whistleblowers, describing the personal cost of coming forward to his career, his health and his family.

        You're right. Even if it was suicide, that doesn't mean he wasn't harassed to the point that suicide felt like the only way to escape the consequences of telling the truth. But in this day and age, I don't trust suicide to be suicide. From black suicides by hanging to Russians falling out of windows, reports of suicide get less credible with every passing year.

        While I'm not quite on board with the Epstein was murdered conspiracy theory, circumstances were weird as fuck, and if you grant the possibility, it certainly makes another Epstein-related suicide worthy of greater scrutiny.

      After the self-inflicted double-tap to the back of his head, if history's any indicator.

    America is a kleptostate run by pedophile gangsters.

      Don't mince words here; that's ethno kleptocracy, TBC, and said pedo Nazi cosplayers wish they were gangsters.

    In Simon's final post to X, he complained about "devastating" retaliation following his whistleblowing activities:

      He is the US Commerce Secretary Howard Lutnick. I've added the links from the x article so no one has to go to x to see more.

    NOTHING TO SEE HERE, FOLKS!

    TOTALLY NORMAL!

    Just the whistleblower connecting the current secretary of commerce to one of the most prolific serial pedophile rapists ever died by "suicide."

    Just like Jean-Luc Brunel, an epstien linked modeling agent who died by "suicide" in a french prison!

    Just like Daniel Siad, an epstien linked modeling agent that mysteriously died in France earlier!

    Just like Virginia Giuffre, that linked both epstien and prince andrew!

    Or even just like when epstien "killed himself," and the guy that epstien accused of trying to suicide him was also the person that happened to find epstiens "suicide note?"

    Nicholas Tartaglione...

    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.

    One officer reported at the time that Epstein said he believed Tartaglione had tried to kill him, according to a memo included in the Justice Department's files.

    It is unclear who wrote the note Tartaglione claimed to have found.

    GEE! WHAT A WEIRD COINCIDENCE THAT KEEPS HAPPENING.

    WHAT A CRAZY THING! YOU'D ONLY HAVE TO BRIBE AN EX-COP IN PRISON AND A FEW SECURITY GUARDS, THAT COULD NEVER EVER NOT IN A MILLION YEARS HAPPEN!
