And he said, 'No, I ain't scared, but if anything happens to me, it's not suicide.'
He pretty much said “I think something may happen to me and they will make it look like a suicide.”
Unless she's got a recording or document, the article's title could have been, "Family friend tells reporter a story"
Yeah, it won’t hold up in court, and neither would it if she had recorded this casual, intimate conversation between two old friends.
Maybe, though, it’s enough to get the coroner to take another look at his death.
I'm not any defender of corporations, by any means, but I'm not sure that I'm willing to take the word of a "close family friend" who "needed help one day" any more than some corporate HR;
You sure have a lot more faith in corporations than I do…
Maybe, though, it’s enough to get the coroner to take another look at his death.
He's a high profile corporate whistleblower who allegedly committed suicide. Any coroner who isn't already triple checking everything is way too corrupt or lazy to bother with another look.
The coroner is going to call it as suicide. This isn't remotely a debate to me. If it is suicide it goes away. If it is murder it means work for the police and a small annoyance to the powers-that-be. The coroner knows this and knows that if they don't writer suicide their career is over at best at worst they get Epsteined as well.
He pretty much said “I think something may happen to me and they will make it look like a suicide.”
Did he state that somewhere else? Admittedly I haven't been following the story too closely so I may have missed something there; but if he isn't documented saying that somewhere credible, then all we have is her claiming that he "pretty much said" that. Is it likely he said it? I mean, I'd definitely be saying it if I was in his shoes, but one family friend's claim isn't enough to convince me that this should have been published as it was. I guess this is all more me just trying to voice frustration with the article. Not that it's unprecedented (maybe even the norm) these days, but it's always frustrating to see headlines with unsubstantiated claims and discussions ensuing as if it's fact.

Here's to hoping

I probably don't, I'm just trying to present an argument with throwing on more layers of personal bias
