the 
actual 
amount 
received 
from 
Epstein 
was 
US$6.5 million.1125K274112751 In 2019, Forbes deleted a 2013 
article that called Epstein "one of the largest backers of cutting 
edge science" after The New York Times revealed its author, 
Drew Hendricks, had been paid $600 to submit it falsely as his 
own.raq51 
According to attorney Gerald B. Lefcourt, Epstein was "part of 
the original group that conceived of the Clinton Global 
Initiative" (276r Epstein co-organized a science event with 
illusionist and skeptic Al Seckel called the Mindshift 
Conference.1?71 The conference took place in 2010 on 
Epstein's private island Little Saint James.EK:a In attendance were scientists Murray Gell-Mann, 
Leonard Mloditiow, and Gerald Jay Sussman.(-4l1 
The true extent of Epstein's donations is unknown. The Jeffrey Epstein VI Foundation fails to 
disclose information which other charities routinely disclose. Concerns have been raised over this 
lack of transparency. In 2015, the Attorney General of the state of New York was reported to be 
trying to gain information but was refused since the charities were based outside of the state and 
did not solicit in New York State.12j81 Epstein, besides making donations through the Jeffrey 
Epstein VI Foundation, also made a number of charitable donations through his three private 
charities: Epstein Interest, the COUQ Foundation, and Gratitude American Ltd. According to 
federal tax filings, Epstein donated $30 million between 1998 and 2018, through these three 
charities.(279) Following his death, a number of scientists and institutions—including Harvard 
University and Massachusetts Institute of Technology (MIT)—came under criticism for accepting 
money from Epstein and his foundation, with some individuals offering to give away money 
donated by Epstein LOA 
Epstein donated millions of dollars 
to Harvard University over the years 
for different causes. 
Interest in eugenics and transhumanism 
According to various sources, beginning in the early z000s Epstein developed a strong interest in 
improving the human race through genetic engineering and artificial intelligence, including using 
his own sperm. He addressed the scientific community at various events and occasions and 
communicated his fascination with eugenics. 2
1—l lh It was reported in August 2019 that Epstein had 
planned to "seed the human race with his DNA" by impregnating up to 20 women at a time using 
his New Mexico compound as a "baby ranch", where mothers would give birth to his offspring. He 
was an advocate of cryonics and his own idiosyncratic version of transhumanism, and had said 
that he intended to have his penis and head frozen '

Kathleen Hall Jamieson, director of the Annenberg
 at the University of 
Pennsylvania said: "Scientists need funding for important work ... if the funding is for legitimate 
scientific work, there is nothing wrong with accepting support from a billionaire. However it would 
have been wrong for scientists to accept his funding if they were aware that he was planning a 
eugenics experiment thatmight draw legitimacy from his association with them." Professor George 
Church also publicly apologized for meeting Epstein after his 13-month sentence, saying "There 
should have been more conversations about, should we be doing this, should we be helping this 
guy? There was just a lot of nerd tunnel vision." --.1

On July 23, 2019, three weeks prior to his death, Epstein was 
found unconscious in his jail cell with injuries to his 
neck .1981[2w1 Epstein said he believed that he was attacked by 
his cellmate, who was awaiting trial for four counts of murder, 
while 
the 
correctional 
staff 
suspected 
attempted 
suicide.L2O~1[284J After that incident, he was placed on suicide 
watch (198][2851 Six days later, on July 29, 2019, Epstein was 
taken off suicide watch and placed in a special housing unit 
with another inmate IND Epstein's close associates said he was 
in "good spirits".(111 
When Epstein was placed in the special housing unit, the jail 
informed the Justice Department that he would have a 
cellmate, and that a guard would look into the cell every 30 
minutes. These procedures were not followed on the night of 
his death (2861[198]1-V1
3 I On August 9, 2019, Epstein's cellmate 
was transferred out, but no one took his place.1288hater in the 
evening, contrary to the jail's normal procedure, Epstein was not checked every 30 
minutes.I28O1981 287] The two guards who were assigned to check his jail unit that night fell asleep 
and did not check on him for about three hours; the guards falsified related recorcls.D1811.2191 Two 
cameras in front of Epstein's cell also malfunctioned that night.[Al 
Epstein was found dead in his cell at the Metropolitan Correctional Center (MCC) in New York 
City at 6:3o a.m. EDT on August 10, 2019 129°12911J The Bureau of Prisons said lifesaving measures 
were initiated immediately upon the discovery of Epstein's body. Emergency responders were 
called and he was taken to a hospital. On August 10, 2019, the Bureau of Prisons and U.S. Attorney 
General William Barr called the death an apparent suicide, although no final determination had 
been made.M The circumstances leading up to his death are being investigated by the  United 
States Department of Justice.[~92l[293] 
Autopsy 
On August 11, 2019, an autopsy was performed.k241 It 
appeared likely that Epstein had thrown himself violently off 
the cell's top bunk, which would explain the damage he 
suffered, other than strangulation [2951 The preliminary result 
of the autopsy found that Epstein sustained multiple breaks in 
his neck bones. Among the bones broken in Epstein's neck was 
the hyoid bone. Such breaks of the hyoid bone can occur from 
those who hang themselves, but they are more common in 
victims of homicide by strangulation. A 2010 study found 
broken hyoids in 25 percent of cases of hangings. A larger 
study conducted from 2010 to 2016 found hyoid damage in just 
16 of 264, or six percent, of cases of hangings. Hyoid bone breaks become more common with age, 
as the bones become more brittlefrag Forensic pathologist CyrilWecht noted that hanging by 
leaning forward would not result in broken cervical bones. 297
On August 16, 2019, Barbara Sampson, the New York City medical examiner, ruled Epstein's death 
a suicide by hanging.12981 The medical examiner, according to Epstein's defense counsel, only saw 
nine minutes of footage from one security camera to help her arrive at her conclusion. -1'  Epstein's 
defense lawyers were not satisfied with the conclusion of the medical examiner and were 
conducting their own independent investigation into the cause of Epstein's death, including taking 
legal action, if necessary, to view the pivotal camera footage near his cell during the night of his

death.1299/ Epstein's lawyers said that the evidence concerning Epstein's death was "far more 
consistent" with murder than suicide. 1151 Michael Baden, an independent pathologist hired by the 
Epstein estate, observed the autopsy. In October 2019, Dr. Baden said that Mr. Epstein, 66, 
experienced a number of injuries — among them a broken bone in his neck — that "are extremely 
unusual in suicidal hangings and could occur much more commonly in homicidal strangulation". 
Baden stated that he thinks that the evidence points to homicide rather than suicide "I 
Final will 
On August 28, 2019, it was reported that Jeffrey Epstein had signed his last will and testament on 
August 8, 2019, two weeks after being found injured in his cell and two days before his 
deathig911b21/ Until this time, Epstein had been depositing money in other inmates' commissary 
accounts to avoid being attacked [1981 The signing of the will was witnessed by two attorneys that 
knew him. The will named two longtime employees as executors, and immediately gifted all of his 
assets, and any assets remaining in his estate, to a trust. cal 
Burial 
Following the autopsy, Epstein's body was claimed by his brother Mark.[S°2][3°321 On September 5, 
2019, Epstein's body was buried in an unmarked grave next to those of his parents at the I.J. 
Morris Star of David Cemetery in Palm Beach, Florida. The names of his parents were also 
removed from their tombstone in order to prevent vandalism.1304
Investigations 
Attorney General Barr ordered an investigation by the Department of Justice Inspector General in 
addition to the investigation by the Federal Bureau of Investigation, saying that he was "appalled" 
by Epstein's death in federal custody.R3113°51 Two days later Barr said there had been "serious 
irregularities" in the prison's handling of Epstein, promising "We will get to the bottom of what 
happened, and there will be accountability..1306)
On August 14, 2019, Manhattan federal court Judge Richard M. Berman, who was overseeing 
Epstein's criminal case, wrote to the Metropolitan Correctional Center warden famine N'Diaye 
inquiring as to whether an investigation into the millionaire's apparent suicide would include a 
probe into his prior (July 23) injuries. Judge Berman wrote that to his knowledge it has never been 
definitely explained what they concluded about the incident.bcgl 
The national president of the Council of Prison Locals C-33, E. 0. Young, stated that prisons "can't 
ever stop anyone who is persistent on killing themselves" 13o8j Between 2010 and 2016, around 
124 inmates killed themselves while in federal custody, or around 20 prisoners per year, out of an 
inmate population of 180,000.1309113101 The previous reported inmate suicide in the MCC facility 
in Manhattan was in 29985,3111 The union leader Young said it was unclear if there was video of 
Epstein's hanging or direct observations by jail officials. He said that while cameras are ubiquitous 
in the facility, he did not-believe that the interior of inmates' cells were within their range. Young 
said union officials had long been raising concerns regarding staffing, as the Trump administration 
had imposed a hiring freeze and budget cuts on the Federal Bureau of Prisons (BOP), adding "All 
this was caused by the administration."31-

testimony, Attorney General Barr admitted the BOP was "short" about 4,000 to 5,000 employees. 
He had lifted the freeze and was working to recruit sufficient new officers to replace those who had 
departed. o8]
Epstein's attorneys asked Judge Berman to probe their client's death, alleging they could provide 
evidence that the incident resulting in his death was "far more consistent with assault" than 
suicide.M 
One week after having signed his final will, it had been reported that at least one camera in the 
hallway outside Epstein's cell had footage that was unusable, although other usable footage was 
recorded in the are.a.[284 Two cameras that malfunctioned in front of Epstein's cell were sent to an 
FBI crime lab for examination. i6  Federal prosecutors subpoenaed up to 20 correctional officers 
concerning the cause of Epstein's death.13131 
On November 19, 2019, federal prosecutors in New York charged Metropolitan Correctional 
Center guards Michael Thomas and Tova Noel with creating false records, and with conspiracy, 
after video footage obtained by prosecutors revealed that Epstein had, against regulation, been in 
his cell unchecked for eight hours prior to being found dead.[314/E31.5X3 1

two guards admitted they falsified records but were spared from any time behind bars under a deal 
with federal prosecutors.lagl 
As part of a deferred prosecution agreement, on May 25, both officers pleaded guilty to falsifying 
records and conspiracy to defraud the United States. They were sentenced to six months 
supervisory release and will be required to perform too hours of community service 13g) 
In popular culture 
Epstein's death became the subject of widespread controversy and 
debate, with the belief that his death was a homicide becoming a 
popular meme.(3191 HBO is creating a limited series on Epstein's life 
and death to be directed and executive produced by Adam 
McKay.1.32°)(324 Sony Pictures Television is additionally developing 
miniseries based on Epstein's life.13221 In the season four finale of the 
CBS series The Good Fight, the plot revolves around Epstein's

Footage of Trump and Epstein talking at the 1992 Mar-a-Lago party 
appears in the 2020 comedy mockumentary Borat Subsequent 
Moviefilni, where the footage is shown inspiring Borat to gift his teen 
daughter to someone in Trump's inner circle (with Borat deciding on Mike Pence, and later Rudy 
Giuliani). Later in the:  film, one of Borat's children also changes his name to Jeffrey
