A possible suicide note attributed to Jeffrey Epstein, the convicted sex offender who died in jail in August 2019, has been kept sealed for nearly seven years. The note was reportedly discovered by Nicholas Tartaglione, Epstein's former cellmate, in a graphic novel following an apparent suicide attempt. Tartaglione claims the note includes the line, “What do you want me to do, bust out crying? Time to say goodbye.” Despite extensive efforts, the US Department of Justice has no record of the note, which was not included in investigations into Epstein's death. As public interest grows, federal prosecutors have supported the unsealing of the document, arguing that the reasons for keeping it secret have diminished. US Attorney Jay Clayton emphasized that public statements have weakened the case for continued secrecy, potentially paving the way for its release.
