He died under suspicious circumstances before he could testify against powerful people against whom he likely had devastatingly compromising information.
There is also the thing with the judge that judged his first case, claiming he HAD to give Epstein a deal, because he was "warned" that Epstein "belonged" to intelligence.

You're speaking like that's almost certainty, which is little more than speculation.
The more reasonable assumption is that he knew he was ruined, his life was essentially over, and became suicidal because of his lack of a future. If he had real dirt on anyone, it's quite possible that they were just other forgettable rich dudes like himself with no significant power or influence.

How so? Jeffrey Epstein was rich, but that was about it. What kind of power or importance did he have? AFAIK, he only got rich by leeching off other even richer dudes. I'm sure most of his friends were the same. Not exactly the kind of people who I think would resort to murder (of a guy in solitary in a maximum security prison), or could pull it off and leave barely a trace if they tried.
”Maximum security prison” - which is rather the regular security jail where he had been taken off suicide watch, and whose camera system, which was covering his corridor, was out of order. Plus the guards didn’t really seem to pay much attention.

The problem is that those are way more common in american prisons than you would hope. Meaning we can't really know whether epstein was executed or just allowed to die by an apathetic and malevolent prison system.
That doesn't excuse the absolute lack of effort by Barr and Garland to try to find anything out.

IIRC, he was in a SHU, which is closer to the former than the latter.

That's definitely conspiracy theory fodder, but little more than that.
The problem with the conspiracy theory is Ghislaine Maxwell would have met the same fate. It makes no sense Epstein gets wacked in jail but Maxwell outside of jail does not.
