However lawyer Spencer Kuvin, who met Epstein a number of instances, mentioned the shamed billionaire by no means thought he had completed something unsuitable – and arrogantly believed he would not be jailed.

“He was at all times overly self-confident in what he had completed and his perception that he had by no means completed something inappropriate in any respect, ever.

“There was by no means any inclination that he ever felt he wasn’t going to get out.

“He at all times felt ‘that is one thing I received to undergo, I will be out of right here in a flash, it isn’t a giant deal’.

“So it was relatively stunning to me when he died in jail.”

When requested whether or not he thought Epstein was murdered, Mr Kuvin mentioned: “I do not know. I am not one for wild hypothesis.

The jail had been instructed Epstein ought to have a cellmate, and {that a} guard should verify on him each half-hour.
