00:00He's like, oh, maybe this is a conspiracy.
00:02Duh, you think?
00:04Welcome to WatchMojo, and today we're looking at unsettling and persistent theories
00:08surrounding one of the most infamous criminals in recent history, Jeffrey Epstein.
00:12He had access, such privileged access.
00:16And he was so malleable in terms of what he needed and what he wanted,
00:23so that he could be controlled.
00:26Did not take his own life.
00:28Perhaps the most notorious theory surrounding disgraced financier Jeffrey Epstein is the
00:33claim that his death did not occur by his own hands.
00:36The doubts raised about the official narrative of his passing in his prison cell mostly stem
00:40from the absence of CCTV footage and lapses in jail protocols.
00:44We are now learning of serious irregularities at this facility
00:48that are deeply concerning and demand a thorough investigation.
00:54Those protocols mandated that Epstein have a cellmate and that, quote,
00:57checks be conducted every 30 minutes.
00:59These were not followed on the night of his death.
01:02Why wasn't anyone watching Epstein in jail?
01:04How was he allowed to take his own life?
01:06Suspicions about these circumstances, as well as what some allege as, quote,
01:10unusual findings in the autopsy, have led many, including Epstein's own brother,
01:15to question this conclusion, making it a contentious topic of discussion.
01:19I think it's the never-ending story.
01:20Did he kill himself?
01:22Was he killed?
01:23Was there a hit out?
01:24Did, you know, one of these powerful men pay a prison guard to kill him?
01:28Still alive.
01:30While many believe Jeffrey Epstein's death did not occur as it was reported,
01:34others believe that it did not happen at all.
01:36Do you think he's still alive?
01:37Oh, yeah.
01:38Really?
01:38Yeah, he's on that island.
01:39The theory that Epstein still walks among us posits that his death was staged,
01:43designed to allow him to escape the mounting legal pressures and media scrutiny.
01:48They also say this was done to prevent him from revealing compromising information.
01:52Theorists claim that he could have been secretly extracted and given a new identity.
01:57It's also speculated by conspiracy theorists that he has gone underground,
02:01utilizing his vast resources to live the rest of his life undetected and unbothered.
02:07Super Race
02:08According to this theory, Jeffrey Epstein's obsession with genetics wasn't just a passing
02:13interest.
02:13It was a long-term ambition.
02:15According to a report in the New York Times, Epstein genuinely expressed a desire to
02:20impregnate multiple women at his New Mexico ranch to spread his DNA and create a, quote,
02:25superior human race using genetic engineering and artificial intelligence.
02:29According to a new report published in the New York Times, not verified by NBC News,
02:35Epstein wanted to use the ranch for controlled breeding, using his DNA to improve humanity.
02:41This bizarre, quote, controlled breeding plan reportedly involved Nobel Prize winning
02:46scientists who were allegedly recruited to discuss the idea with him.
02:50While this sounds like something straight out of a science fiction movie,
02:53conspiracy theorists are quick to point to Epstein's deep financial ties to elite research
02:58institutions.
02:59There's no evidence Epstein ever set his plan into motion,
03:03and his attorneys did not respond to our request for comment.
03:06Underground Facilities
03:08One of the most notorious aspects of Epstein's life was his private island,
03:12often referred to as Epstein Island or Little St. James.
03:15It is widely believed that the island was used as a hub for his trafficking operation.
03:20Behind me is the main building on this island,
03:23and it has hosted American politicians, world dignitaries.
03:28And while definitive evidence about individuals
03:30who visited the land for criminal activities has been limited,
03:33some conspiracy theorists suggest that there's more to the approximate 72-acre location,
03:39specifically underground tunnels or hidden chambers beneath the island.
03:43Conspiracy theorists believe drone footage
03:45captures what appears to be ventilation shafts and sealed-off entrances,
03:49fueling speculation about what might have occurred on the island while concealed underground.
03:54Deeper Royal Connections
03:55Prince Andrew's ties to Jeffrey Epstein are well documented,
03:59with Epstein's former girlfriend Ghislaine Maxwell having introduced the pair,
04:02leading to a years-long friendship.
04:04The Duke of York has since been accused of atrocious acts by Epstein's victims,
04:08all of which he vehemently denies.
04:11No, nothing. It never happened.
04:14Epstein's housekeeper, also in a Florida court legal deposition,
04:18said that you visited the Palm Beach residence around four times a year.
04:22For the most part, Buckingham Palace has stayed silent,
04:25declining to comment by noting that Andrew is no longer a working royal.
04:29And I think the problem really is that there are more names.
04:32I mean, the judge has only released these names.
04:35There clearly could be another witness, too, who hasn't yet had her depositions released.
04:40Conspiracy theorists, however, claim the royal family,
04:43and not just Prince Andrew, was explicitly involved with Jeffrey Epstein.
04:47They speculate that Epstein's connections run much deeper within British aristocracy,
04:51and that the royal family was paramount in shielding him
04:54and Prince Andrew for as long as they could.
04:57A Big Blackmail Trap
04:58One of the more widespread theories related to Jeffrey Epstein
05:02is that he operated a political blackmail scheme,
05:04leveraging his connections to gather damaging information.
05:07He does nasty things to his best friends' wives.
05:11It was alleged in an unredacted 2014 filing that Epstein integrated the worlds of,
05:16quote,
05:17politically connected and financially powerful people,
05:20for the purposes of,
05:21quote,
05:21business, personal, political, and financial gain.
05:25Many believe Epstein's network was purposely designed
05:28to ensnare powerful figures in compromising situations,
05:31creating the ultimate honey trap.
05:33He knew so much from so many different people.
05:36By capturing these sensitive moments on camera,
05:39it's alleged by conspiracy theorists that Epstein manipulated
05:42high-ranking officials and public figures alike,
05:45ensuring their cooperation and complicity in whatever he wanted.
05:49Dead Man's Switch
05:50Shortly before his death,
05:52it's said that Jeffrey Epstein told associates that he feared for his life,
05:55with many believing he had a sophisticated dead man's switch mechanism in place.
06:00The concept implies that he had secured critical information
06:03that would be automatically released if anything happened to him,
06:06effectively creating a form of posthumous insurance.
06:09The theory posits that Epstein had meticulously documented evidence
06:12that could potentially destroy numerous high-profile individuals if released.
06:16I'm sure many people wanted him dead.
06:19He had a lot of information on a lot of people,
06:21a lot of blackmail videos and pictures.
06:23And while no such material has surfaced following his demise,
06:26conspiracy theorists believe it exists in hidden locations
06:29or secret digital vaults waiting to be found.
06:33Complicit Celebrities
06:34Just some of the famous names among a list of 150
06:39revealed overnight in newly unsealed court papers.
06:42Jeffrey Epstein was more than just a money manager.
06:45He cultivated a wide network filled with notable individuals,
06:49including Hollywood celebrities.
06:51In fact, unsealed court documents relating to a lawsuit against Epstein
06:55and Ghislaine Maxwell by Virginia Giuffre
06:57highlight some of the stars he's rubbed shoulders with over the years.
07:00He allegedly performed magic tricks for Epstein
07:03and several of his victims during a dinner
07:05at Epstein's townhouse in New York City in 2016.
07:09It's theorized, however, that these minor celebrity connections
07:12are just the tip of the iceberg.
07:14Conspiracy theorists say that a vast array of well-known Hollywood A-listers
07:18are closer to his operation than they admit.
07:20A lot of people, including Jimmy Kimmel,
07:23are really hoping that doesn't happen.
07:26Kimmel fired back on social media.
07:28Dear blank, I've not met, flown with, visited,
07:32or had any contact whatsoever with Epstein.
07:35While many have been quick to point fingers and make accusations,
07:38as of yet, no major Hollywood star has been legally implicated in any wrongdoing.
07:43I don't know Jeffrey Epstein.
07:44I've never met Jeffrey Epstein.
07:46I'm not on a list.
07:47I was not on a plane or an island or anything ever.
07:50Intelligence asset.
07:52Believe it or not, according to many conspiracy theorists,
07:55Jeffrey Epstein was something of a spy.
07:57They purport that he had deep connections with intelligence agencies,
08:00potentially working as an informant or asset for organizations like Mossad or the CIA.
08:05This guy has an island.
08:08On the island, he has a building that's colored in the,
08:12it's painted in the colors of the Israeli flag.
08:17They think he's a Mossad agent.
08:18He's some sort of intelligence agent.
08:20It's theorized that Epstein's extensive network of powerful connections
08:24could have easily been part of a carefully orchestrated intelligence gathering operation.
08:28It proposes that his ability to manipulate high-profile individuals
08:32was not just a personal strategy for blackmail, as others believe,
08:35but rather part of a larger intelligence assembling scheme.
08:38If I was an intelligence source for Germany,
08:41if I was an intelligence officer in any country
08:44that was interested in what's happening in the United States,
08:46I would 100% have devoted time and energy into tracking and trying to recruit Epstein
08:52into my asset of reporting sources.

09:11FBI Withholding the Epstein List
09:14A current conspiracy theory claims that the FBI itself
09:17is concealing the so-called Epstein client list of powerful individuals involved in his crimes.
09:22During his 2024 campaign,
09:24President Donald Trump hinted at releasing more files related to Epstein.
09:28Later, his attorney general, Pam Bondi,
09:31distributed binders labeled the Epstein files to Republican influencers.
09:34Bondi then went on an apology tour to Fox News,
09:37promising the documents would be released imminently.
09:40Today, the White House made a big show of handing a bunch of conservative influencers
09:45binders labeled the Epstein files.
09:47However, the binders only contained redacted documents and already public flight logs,
09:52leading to outrage.
09:54This is not what we or the American people asked for and a complete disappointment.
09:58The Republican-controlled House Judiciary Committee made a post claiming to link to
10:01the Epstein files that actually directed folks to the music video for Rick Astley's
10:06Never Gonna Give You Up.
10:08Bondi and others have since accused the FBI of withholding key documents,
10:12fueling further speculation from conspiracy theorists about what's truly in the documents.
10:17It's all fascinating and we're not done with Jeffrey Epstein. I can tell you that for a fact.
