Foster The People Push Conspiracy Theory That Jeffrey Epstein Isn’t Dead

In a strange turn of events, indie rock band Foster The People has taken to Twitter to discuss conspiracy theories surrounding the death of Jeffrey Epstein. Epstein’s suicide in prison over the weekend has quickly become the center of various conspiracy theories, due to the high profile of his case and the fact that he was already supposedly under suicide watch. The former billionaire was being charged with multiple counts child sex trafficing and sexual abuse, a case which has drawn the attention of the world. Epstein maintained close relationships with dozens of other rich high profile men, some of whom are now being thought of by many as complicit in his crimes. The main factor powering the conspiracy theories surrounding Epstein’s death are his close personal ties with presidents Bill Clinton and Donald Trump, who both have been known to vacation with Epstein and visit him frequently. 

Now, in a bizarre series of tweets, Foster The People is claiming that Epstein is not actually dead and that a body double was used to fool the public. On Saturday the group’s account first tweeted about the theory, then supporting their claims the following day with more ideas on what had happened. One of the tweets included a leaked photo of Epstein’s body alongside an older photo, with highlights used to point to inconsistencies between the two. Foster The People then went on to discuss the ties Epstein had with Attorney General William Barr’s father, suggesting that Barr was one of the people who helped replace Epstein with a double. This would lead one to believe that Foster The People blame the federal government for Epstein’s death, as the tweets suggest both Barr and President Trump may have been involved.

The tweets continued on to say that the media would purposefully move past this quickly in order to make the public forget about the incident, telling fans to “do your own research” instead of listening to the media. While it is important to make sure one’s sources are reputable, the band’s message to only trust valid sources is somewhat soured by the fact they are at the same time supporting such a wild theory with no evidence behind it whatsoever. At the time of writing this article, Foster The People is continuing to tweet more on the issue, pushing the idea that a body double was used in place of Epstein.
