A former journalist who was once an inmate at New York City’s Metropolitan Correctional Center (MCC) said he has “problems with the narrative” that Jeffrey Epstein killed himself at the facility.<\/p>\n

Martin Gottesfeld told the Breaking Points podcast that while he was at the MCC before El Chapo’s stay and Epstein’s arrival, from November 2016 to February 2017, he was familiar with it and the cameras in the cells and hallways.<\/p>\n

Gottesfeld noted there was a “camera in every cell” at the MCC, but that “problem is guys cover them up” as no one wants to be observed using the toilet. He expressed skepticism that the cameras and drives for the hallway outside his cell were not working as it was one floor below the national security area where inmates have no attorney client privilege and are watched constantly.<\/p>\n

“They are saying the floor below it had no working cameras and the drives were bad. Epstein died one month two months after El Chapo left? It strike me as very unlikely the cameras would be allowed to get into that position and scary if in fact they were.”<\/p>\n

Gottesfeld was convicted and sentenced to 10 years in prison for his alleged role in a cyberattack on Boston Children’s Hospital which kept Justina Pelletier in its custody and would not allow her to return home from February 2013 to June 2014.<\/p>\n

Gottesfeld said that “generally speaking” he has “problems with the narrative” that Epstein “took his own life.” First, he had the money for top attorneys as did Sean “Diddy” Combs. Secondly, “he had no shortage of people that he could have informed on” and stood a good chance of cutting a deal with the current or future administrations.<\/p>\n
