Jefferey Epstein found dead in jail cell

[Mick]

His victims will sue for whatever the estate has

America is the only country in the world that would let the victims come forward.

What about that new EO that allows the govt to seize convicted pedophile assets? Can Epstein still be considered convicted, or will it just be civil?

he never went to trial so I’d say no.

I'm not a lawyer (thank God) but your post suggests little motivation for the Epstein family to sue the state if they would then have to give up those gains to his victims.

 

[RavinDave]

Why could they sue the state? It was not negligence if he killed himself.

I had tuned in Fox News for 2 minutes and saw Emily Compagno making that point, so I thought it might be valid being she's a pretty hot legal beagle...

 

[RavinDave]

Not the St of NY the Federal Government, it was a federal facility.

I stand corrected.

 

[Mick]

The suicide ruling now opens the door for the Epstein family to sue the state of NY for "wrongful negligence".

Justice in America.

I think his brother will steer clear.

I am not one either. But assuming it goes to his estate then I don’t see why they couldn’t t

I sure as hell would.

I have a feeling some of these women claiming rape, etc., ain't as innocent as they are portraying themselves. They want MONEY.

Yeah, but selling that point around here hasn't been going well. Kinda hard to believe all those underage girls had so much free time and parents never seemed to miss them, but their lives were ruined because of Epstein and not the parents.

Couldn’t be ruined by both?

I like making money. As a kid my family had none.

I'm making more now from investments than I did when I went to work every day.

That’s a good thing. When I was still working for a big company I actively traded ETFs in my 401k and did pretty well. But when I left that job to start my own business I turned it over to a financial advisory firm and I hardly ever look at it. Fortunately my business is doing so well I don’t get upset that they’re not growing my fund as well as I would like.

On the other hand, I never lost $30,000 in a day when I was working.

Of course ... in fact, likely; but the parents don't have Epstein's deep pockets when it comes to lotto in the courtroom. I'd say something like the Epstein estate can't be required to pay any more in damages than the parents shell out in damages. I guess I'm just fed up with the lack of personal accountability ... everything is always somebody else's fault, and somebody else needs to pay for it.

At least $30K of your own money?

 

[1972 Grad]

Just never lost anywhere close to that amount of money in a day, period.

Hey a 1 or 2% swing can do that when you have a few bucks invested.

Sure can. It never seems to go up as much in a day as it can drop.

But your asking for the victim, of both Epstein and ****** parenting, to be limited. How is any of that her fault?

I once got stiffed by a customer in California for about $28k. Dude had some internal problems in his business, which was involved in semiconductors, and just said f.u. I even went to see him in San Jose, and sat across from him in a cafe and he sat there with a smile on his face saying f.u. over and over. Too expensive to litigate so I just wrote it off. Fortunately he’s the only customer I ever had who did not pay.

That's a pretty big chunk of change to lose. Ouch!

Indeed. And it was the 3rd or 4th such order we’d sold them over a 2 year period, and then boom. I guess we’re lucky it’s the only time we’ve been burned.

You should have whipped his a$$.

He deserved a whoopin’ that’s for sure!
