This spoiled punk is gonna manipulate the system and be in the hospital every other day. Apparently he does have some heart disease so he’ll use that as his ticket.
Don’t like the temperature or rats in your cell? Claim chest pain.

Not sure.
Epstein had a lot of dirt on famous people.
Weinstein is just kind of dirty himself.

Being actually terminally ill didn’t help Whitey Bulger from getting shanked.

And being on suicide watch didn’t help Epstein...

I wonder if he’s doing casting calls among the nursing staff.
