This could be an interesting thread if stuff starts to leak, but it will be a dead thread if it goes all conspiracy theory.

Yes, this. Let's not get this thing shut down before it gets interesting.

Damn guys, let’s keep the speculation of death and the conspiracy shit to a minimum. That shit’ll get this thread locked tighter than a Well Fargo safe.
Would be nice to keep up on this here, since the SigForum is my place of news.

I wonder how she was traveling around the world. Fake passports or private jets?

More news about where she was hiding, that she paid cash in December, bought under an not-anonymous-enough, obviously, "anonymous LLC" it says.

Ghislaine Maxwell was hiding out in a luxury home on a 156-acre estate in New Hampshire — where she fled to a bedroom when the feds rang the bell at the gate ahead of her arrest, The Post has learned.

It’s a good place to hide,” a neighbor, who declined to give his name, said of the sprawling rural property.

Maxwell, 58, bought the spread in the tiny town of Bradford in an all-cash deal through what prosecutors called a “carefully anonymized LLC” in court papers filed Thursday.

Law enforcement sources confirmed the property sits at 338 East Washington Road and sold for $1.07 million on Dec. 13, according to the Zillow website.

“This stunning custom designed Timber Frame home is an amazing retreat for the nature lover who also wants total privacy,” according to a listing posted by the Four Seasons Sotheby’s International Realty brokerage.

Boy is she going to be in for a shock when it comes to future accommodations.

No kidding. The woman has lived quite the life of luxury up until now.

It will be interesting to see what kind of deal she will be able to cut. She may have a lot of evidence to provide regarding Epstein's big hitter friends and "clients". SDNY may be after much bigger fish.

Because the FBI just finished watching “Filthy Rich” on Netflix.

Acting U.S. Attorney Audrey Strauss .....

Or because there was a new sheriff in town. They (Trump / Barr) just dismissed the previous guy.

You’ve been living under a rock, haven’t you?

At this point thinking she will somehow survive is the conspiracy theory...

Bill Barr fired the DA in the NY district(federal level), and his replacement immediately filed charges. I guess maybe Bergman wasn’t doing his job to the best of his ability.

Either that or the DA was getting in on it as well. Or was trying to protect someone who was. Either way, the old DA failed and was thankfully fired.
Hopefully some of those young women might get some measure of justice and a bit of closure.

With her resources what the hell was she doing "hiding" in the United States?

No one seems to be able to figure that out.

absolutely

not so much 'what she did' -- its more 'what she knows'

her testimony could be incredibly damning to a lot of powerful people

someone in that role -- if she's smart -- has a 'get out of jail free' token stashed somewhere -- a disk drive / diary / whatever to hand prosecutors in trade for immunity

if they pursue this vigorously it will be a hell of a shit-show

i am extremely interested to see how the Miami plea-deal factors into this

And you've been living under a rock if you think conspiracy theories don't get threads locked here.

Glad the prior political hack DA in NY got canned. I suspect the new DA will keep her in federal custody, and have 'Top! Men!' assuring she gets to sing.

Great news! Hoping for more of it.

The whole Epstein case isn’t high on my list. I do think the way the news narrative is going, she’ll have the book thrown at her. She’s alive, someone to find responsible.

Again, not saying at all she doesn’t deserve it, it was all fun & games back in the day. While at it, drag a few high profile politicians into the fray.

These statements are contradictory. The only way the feds could possibly nail other high profile players is if they don't throw the book at her and cut a deal. Otherwise, what possible incentive would she have to talk? Her conscious? Ha, yeah right.
