Jeffrey Epstein scrawled suicide note finally released: ‘No fun. Not worth it’
A suicide note allegedly written by Jeffrey Epstein has been released after being sealed for years.
The note reads: ‘They investigated me for months — FOUND NOTHING!!!’.
‘It is a treat to be able to choose one’s time to say goodbye. Watcha want me to do — Bust out cryin!!’
It concludes with ‘NO FUN’, with those words being underlined, followed by ‘NOT WORTH IT!!’
The note was found after the pedophile financier was found with a strip of cloth around his neck in July 2019, but he survived that suicide attempt.
A month later, Epstein killed himself inside Metropolitan Correctional Center in New York City at the age of 66.
The note was made public on Wednesday after The New York Times petitioned the court to unseal it.

Epstein’s cellmate Nicholas Tartaglione found the note after the failed attempt and it ended up being part of his own criminal case.
In an interview with the outlet, Tartaglione said the note was found tucked inside a graphic novel after Epstein was moved to a different part of the jail.

He then handed it over to his lawyers after Epstein claimed that it was Tartaglione that had hurt him, not himself.
There was no mention of the note as part of the official investigation into Epstein’s death.
A chronology which mentions the existence of the note was found inside the Epstein files which details its journey after being passed around numerous lawyers.
That file said that Tartaglione’s lawyers managed to authenticate the note, but an explanation as to how they did so is not revealed.
Judge Kenneth Karas asked the parties involved if they had any view on the note being made public.
The US attorney’s office in Manhattan, who prosecuted Tartaglione, said ‘there appears to be a strong public interest in the circumstances surrounding Epstein’s death’, the Times reported.

Following the release of more than three million documents related to the late sex offender by the DOJ, more questions have been raised about the nature of his death.
Earlier this year, never-before-seen footage revealed the moment prison guards found the pedophile’s corpse.
A video shows a guard approaching a desk near Epstein’s cell at 6:30am on the day of his death. Seconds later, the guard then makes his way to the cell.
Over a minute after this, the guard can be seen moving back and forth between the security desk, where he is joined by two others, and the area housing Epstein’s cell.
The guards are then seen running between the two areas. Epstein was officially declared dead at 6:39am.

His post-mortem found three distinct fractures were identified on his neck: one on the left hyoid and one in the thyroid cartilage on the right side, and one on the left.
At the time of his death, he had pleaded not guilty to sex trafficking minors and conspiracy, and was awaiting trial when he died.
His suicide fueled public speculation that he was assassinated as part of a cover-up to protect high-profile individuals who were potentially complicit in his crimes.
From that, a theory emerged that the well-connected financier maintained a list of clients to whom underage girls were trafficked.
Aside from Ghislaine Maxwell, who was sentenced to serve 20 years behind bars in June 2022 for her role in luring underage girls for her former boyfriend Epstein, there have been no US arrests relating to the financier or the names released in the files relating to him.
Maxwell sat down with then Deputy Attorney General Todd Blanche last July to discuss what she knew about the Epstein case.
The records of those conversations were then subsequently released and provided no incriminating information on high-profile individuals including Donald Trump.
She also denied the existence of a so-called ‘client list’.
