Jeffrey Epstein’s Brother Challenges the Authenticity of the Jailhouse Note (5/11/26) · The Vault: The Epstein Files

• 0:00
  Speaker 1: What's up everyone, and welcome to another episode of the
• 0:03
  Epstein Chronicles. So Jeffrey Epstein's brother Mark Epstein does not
• 0:08
  believe that the note that was found allegedly by Nicholas
• 0:12
  Tartaglioni is real, and neither do I. And if that
• 0:16
  letter was written by Jeffrey Epstein, my guess is that
• 0:19
  Nicholas Tartaglioni made him write the letter. First, how long
• 0:23
  have I been telling you my theory that Tartaglioni was
• 0:26
  sent to that cell with a mission, and who gave
• 0:30
  him them orders? I don't know. But if Epstein did
• 0:33
  kill himself, he did so after Tartaglioni attacked him and
• 0:37
  passed on the message that we could reach you whenever
• 0:39
  we want. And isn't it convenient that there's no camera
• 0:42
  on the cell, that the camera wasn't working, that the
• 0:44
  video is gone, and not only that, would a suicide
• 0:47
  note be very helpful to the narrative that's being pitched
• 0:49
  by the government. Boy, that seems pretty convenient, just like
• 0:53
  everything else that seems to break in the favor of
• 0:57
  the DOJ, the government and the cover up. Today's article
• 1:02
  is from Business Insider and the headline Jeffrey Epstein's brother
• 1:06
  says he thinks newly surfaced suicide note is a forgery.
• 1:10
  This article was authored by Jacob Shamsi. And when Jeffrey
• 1:15
  Epstein's brother saw the purported suicide note left by the
• 1:18
  now dead financier, he didn't believe it was real. Neither
• 1:22
  did I and I still don't. And if this letter,
• 1:25
  this note that Tartaglioni found, was such a big deal,
• 1:28
  why was it hidden all this time? Why didn't Tartaglioni
• 1:31
  produce it? Mark Epstein, who has long maintained that his
• 1:35
  brother was murdered, told Business Insider the note, which was
• 1:39
  unsealed by a judge this week, is a forgery. It
• 1:42
  wouldn't be hard to get some pro forger to forge
• 1:45
  a note. Mark Epstein told b I that's the easiest
• 1:48
  fucking thing in the world to do. I'll take it
• 1:50
  a step further. You don't need a pro forger when
• 1:53
  you're being threatened. I mean, is it really too far
• 1:55
  of Elipe that Tartaglioni told Epstein, Look, you better write
• 1:59
  that fucking note. If you don't write it, it's gonna
• 2:01
  be even worse for you. And then considering what we've
• 2:05
  learned about the MCC through the depositions and all the
• 2:08
  information that we're learning about, how lacks, if you will,
• 2:13
  the security was around Jeffrey Epstein. How can anyone look
• 2:17
  at this and say, you know what, I don't think
• 2:19
  Dartaglioni had anything to do with it. Jeffrey Epstein obviously
• 2:23
  just killed himself. That is just crazy, and I think
• 2:26
  that's the conspiracy theory if you want the truth. Jeffrey
• 2:31
  Epstein left a note in a Manhattan Jel cell after
• 2:34
  a suicide attempt. According to Nicholas Dartaglioni, his former cell mate,
• 2:38
  who claims to have found it, the note surfaced on
• 2:40
  Wednesday through a convoluted series of events. All of a sudden,
• 2:44
  it just pops up. Huh, all of a sudden, there's
• 2:47
  a note. Did they find it in the alien files?
• 2:53
  And speaking in the alien files? Would anyone be shocked
• 2:55
  to find out that Epstein was blessing them too? The
• 3:00
  note was not written immediately before Epstein's death on August tenth,
• 3:03
  twenty nineteen, but during an earlier suicide attempt in July.
• 3:08
  According to Tartaglioni, I mean, if you want to call
• 3:11
  it a suicide attempt. Cool, I'm not gonna call it that.
• 3:13
  I don't believe it was, and I don't think that
• 3:16
  the evidence backs that up. And again that's why we
• 3:18
  do the painstaking task of going through those court documents.
• 3:22
  That way, these disinformation campaigns and these journalists who have
• 3:26
  motivations can't dogwalk you, because where do you think they're
• 3:30
  getting their information from. They don't have some secret portal.
• 3:34
  They're reading the court documents like anybody else. Tartaglioni, a
• 3:39
  former police officer who kidnapped and killed four people before
• 3:42
  burying them on his Upstate New York property, said Epstein
• 3:46
  left the note in a book when he transferred to
• 3:48
  a different cell following the July twenty third suicide attempt
• 3:51
  while he was awaiting trial on sex trafficking charges. So
• 3:55
  Tartaglioni found it, huh not the guards nobody tossed the cell,
• 3:59
  nobody can in and looked at it as a crime scene,
• 4:02
  started an investigation. Well, of course not, because the whole
• 4:06
  entire plan was for Tartaglioni to do what he did.
• 4:10
  That is my theory, and I'm sorry, but I believe
• 4:12
  the evidence backs it up. Tartaglioni's lawyer entered the note
• 4:16
  into his criminal case, where it was sealed in a
• 4:18
  dispute over his legal representation. US District Judge Kenneth Carris,
• 4:23
  who presided over the case, unsealed it this week, nearly
• 4:26
  six years after Tartaglioni says he found it. Oh yeah,
• 4:31
  let's believe a four time murderer. What are we even
• 4:36
  doing here? And the fact that people are out here
• 4:39
  running with his narrative tells me everything I need to
• 4:41
  know about those people. Just another part of the cover
• 4:46
  of folks. That's all it is, as far as I'm concerned.
• 4:51
  They investigated me for a month, found nothing. The note reads,
• 4:54
  so fifteen year old charges resulted. It's a treat to
• 4:57
  be able to choose one's times to say goodbye. It
• 4:59
  can tinues what you want me to do bust out crying.
• 5:03
  Jeffrey Epstein has used variations of the last line, what
• 5:06
  you want me to do bust out crying in emails
• 5:09
  to Mark Epstein and friends that were made public by
• 5:11
  the Justice Department. It appears to be a reference to
• 5:14
  the nineteen thirty one comedy video Little Daddy from the
• 5:17
  show Little Rascals. Okay, So, like I said, Tartaglioni could
• 5:25
  have easily made Epstein write that letter. Now, look, if
• 5:28
  that letter was found right away when this all went down,
• 5:31
  and it was in the possession of the DOJ, all
• 5:34
  of that okay, maybe a little bit different, but none
• 5:37
  of it makes sense, None of it lines up, and
• 5:40
  none of it passes the old sniff test as far
• 5:42
  as I'm concerned. Mark Epstein told Business Insider he does
• 5:46
  not recall those emails, but he would not be surprised
• 5:48
  if his brother referenced the show. He compared the show
• 5:51
  in the sixties to SpongeBob SquarePants in its ubiquity. Who
• 5:56
  wouldn't watch The Little Rascals in the sixties when we
• 5:59
  were kids, he said, I mean, everybody watched that. Mark
• 6:02
  Epstein said, whoever forged the suicide note would have adopted
• 6:06
  his brother's voice from the emails included in the Epstein
• 6:09
  files to make it seem real. And that's certainly possible.
• 6:12
  But I think the most likely outcome here, the most
• 6:15
  likely scenario is the one that I've been speculating, and
• 6:20
  I think that Nicholas Tartaglioni knows a whole lot more
• 6:23
  than he has ever let on, and this note only
• 6:26
  fuels that fire. It's public knowledge, he said, it's in
• 6:31
  the emails, so they stole it from me to make
• 6:33
  it sound like it was from him. According to Kris
• 6:36
  unsealing order, the note was originally sealed in May of
• 6:38
  twenty twenty one, well before Epstein's emails with the Little
• 6:42
  Rascal's reference became public earlier this year. A timeline included
• 6:48
  in the Epstein Files shows that it passed through the
• 6:50
  hands of multiple people who tried to authenticate it in
• 6:53
  twenty nineteen and twenty twenty. Tartaglioni also described the note
• 6:58
  to in a podcast interview with the influencer Jessica Reid
• 7:01
  Krause last year, also before the release of the Epstein files.
• 7:06
  Oh well, isn't that cute? So I fell in love
• 7:09
  with a murderer? How is Nicholas Startaglioni doing a podcast
• 7:14
  from prison? Can somebody explain that to me? Four time
• 7:19
  murderer out here doing podcasts? How about beneath the jail?
• 7:23
  How about that for somebody who kills four people? Probably
• 7:26
  a good place for him. The note itself is not
• 7:30
  included in the Justice Department Epstein files nor in its
• 7:33
  one hundred and twenty eight page Justice Department Inspector General
• 7:37
  report that followed four years of investigation into Epstein's death,
• 7:41
  fugayzy that note for Gayze. That's it. I'm calling it
• 7:46
  for what it is. I don't believe it for a second. Sorry,
• 7:49
  not for one single second. Epstein first reported suicide attempt
• 7:54
  is itself a subject of dispute. He was found in
• 7:57
  the cell with a homemade fashion noos around his no
• 8:00
  according to an internal report from the Bureau of Prisons.
• 8:03
  Tartaglioni's lawyers said it was a suicide attempt. Epstein first
• 8:07
  told jail officials that Tartaglioni tried to kill him, but
• 8:11
  a week later said he was extremely tired the day
• 8:13
  of the incident and did not remember it well. According
• 8:16
  to a jail report, Yeah, being a snitch on top
• 8:19
  of being a child molester in jail. Not the greatest look.
• 8:25
  Not some big secret, not some big mystery. The Inspector
• 8:30
  General's report ultimately characterized it as a first suicide attempt
• 8:34
  that preceded a successful one three weeks later. Oh well, convenient,
• 8:39
  isn't it? And considering the OIG interviews and how non
• 8:42
  combative they were with the guards and the people working
• 8:45
  when Epstein was killed. Well, I have my doubts. Now.
• 8:49
  If people want to run with whatever narrative the government
• 8:52
  serves up, great, I don't care. I don't know how
• 8:54
  many times I have to tell you I am not
• 8:56
  here to convince anybody of anything. Here's the evidence. Here's
• 8:59
  what I believe, and here's why I believe that evidence
• 9:02
  backs it up. Mark Epstein said his brother recant did
• 9:06
  his claim that TARTAGLIONI roughed him up because he did
• 9:09
  not want to be seen as a snitch. Well, what
• 9:11
  do you know? That shocking? Anybody that knows anything about
• 9:15
  jail knows that the reason that he changed his tune
• 9:20
  is because he was afraid of retaliation. Mark Epstein said,
• 9:23
  It's one thing to be a pedophile in prison. It's
• 9:25
  another thing to be a pedophile and a snitch in prison.
• 9:28
  And that's no fun for anybody. Well, that's true, and
• 9:32
  that's exactly right, and I'm sure for Epstein it's set
• 9:35
  in pretty quickly. Yo, they got me this time, they
• 9:38
  can get me again. I better recant. I better tell
• 9:41
  the jail that that never happened. Seems like a very
• 9:43
  very likely scenario to me. Carris Is indicated he would
• 9:47
  later unseal additional court documents related to the note, which
• 9:50
  could shed additional light on its authenticity. Mark Epstein remained skeptical.
• 9:55
  I don't know if Tartaglioni had this note. I doubt that.
• 9:59
  I doubt he found this. He said. There was no
• 10:01
  attempt at suicide, so there was no suicide note. He
• 10:05
  says that the most likely explanation of Jeffrey Epstein's death
• 10:09
  is that another person near his cell, out of the
• 10:11
  view of the cameras, killed him, and that the Justice
• 10:13
  Department is perpetuating a cover up by not treating the
• 10:17
  death as a murder investigation. And I agree with all
• 10:20
  of that. I'm sorry, I agree with it. Mark Epstein
• 10:23
  said that if his brother chose to kill himself, he
• 10:25
  wouldn't write a note at all. If he was going
• 10:27
  to commit suicide, he doesn't have to explain it to anybody,
• 10:30
  he said, And I think that's true too. I don't
• 10:34
  think Jeffrey Epstein's the kind of guy that's going to
• 10:36
  leave some little snarky ass note like the one that
• 10:39
  was found in that gel Cell. So I just don't
• 10:41
  believe the whole narrative, and I don't believe that that
• 10:43
  note is authentic, not in the way that it's being pitched.
• 10:47
  So we'll see what Mark Epstein has to say moving forward,
• 10:50
  and he is going to be releasing his own report
• 10:52
  on the autopsy, and we'll see how it all ends up.
• 10:56
  But I think it's going to be very, very interesting
• 10:59
  to see what he presents because, as far as I'm concerned,
• 11:02
  until there's evidence proving otherwise, Epstein didn't kill himself. All
• 11:07
