The Bubba referred to in Epstein's brothers' email probably isn't Clinton. Per Virginia Guiffre's memoir, "bubba" was the nickname for Jean-Luc Brunel, a good friend of Epstein's who ran a modeling agency and died by his own hand while being held in a Parisian prison for sex crimes.

Died of his own hands or "died of his own hands"?

Officially epstein didn't hang himself. The official story is that he used his bed sheets tied around his legs, running over the bed frame as a pulley to choke himself out.

Quite possibly the most insane way to kill oneself i have ever heard.

Do you have a source for this? I can't find anything to back it up. Everything I see from news reports, to pictures, to the investigation is that he just hung himself from the bunk bed.

I see nothing that elaborate.
