Epstein 'pimp' found hanged in his cell

Jean-Luc Brunel, a French modeling agent accused of procuring underage women for Jeffrey Epstein, was found hanged in his Paris jail cell—in a shocking replay of how Epstein himself died, French newspapers reported.

The 76-year-old was found during a night-time check by guards at La Santé early Saturday, officials told Le Monde.

Shame if he didn’t, as what he knew is needed for justice.

Like the time he arranged to fly in three 12-year old girls from France for Epstein’s birthday…

Anyway, an ex-prince is relieved and a convicted conspirator is worried.

Really rich people can make most anything happen. I wouldn’t be surprised if Ghislaine were to fall down....about 38 times though hanging seems to be the mode of choice here.

It's all piling up so quickly I can't even keep track anymore. It was also a story about rape or trafficking, and likewise inappropriately worded.

American news (and "news" ) media need to update their damn style books.

There are a lot of missing videos. I wonder if she has them and it gives her some kind of leverage.

This case has lately been one of my reading obsessions. It goes way beyond the sex trafficking. There are a lot of threads in it that connect arms-dealing, the Mossad, Russia, tfg and many legislators and US oligarchs, Arabian leaders.

It just goes on forever. There are supra-national networks of power, and these children were there to grease the wheels.

I wonder who is protecting her.

Or perhaps Andrew and tfg and Epstein and now this guy are just expendable in the larger scheme of things.

there will be a lot revealed that is currently unavailable to the public. That's the only way she's going to live a long life.

I'm sure they are at higher risk of suicide if they might have beans to spill. Is it any surprise Andrew settled his case with a payoff BEFORE he was in a position to be out in public and maybe forced to give up a few names?
