Jeffrey Epstein
Jeffrey Epstein was an American financier and convicted sex offender who ran an elaborate trafficking operation, sexually abusing dozens of underage girls at his properties.
His 2019 death in a Manhattan jail cell—ruled a suicide—sparked widespread conspiracy theories given his connections to powerful figures including politicians, royalty, and businessmen.
Epstein didn't kill himself became a viral meme expressing public skepticism.
