Modelling scout = the pimp Melania worked with to recruit girls to Epstein.

And nothing of value was lost

Lawyers for the former model who made the first complaint said they were "stunned" by his death.

"We are at a loss for words to describe the anger and sadness we feel," they said, with the sadness for their clients "now denied a criminal trial".

And likely a lengthy sentencing. This isn't exactly good news, as much as we may rightfully despise such horrible people.

Another one who won't have to face a trial and justice:

Another associate of Epstein, French modelling agent Jean-Luc Brunel, was found hanged in his Paris prison cell in 2022.

a modeling scout? why was this man necessary to begin with

Another associate of Epstein, French modelling agent Jean-Luc Brunel, was found hanged in his Paris prison cell in 2022.

I posted this comment earlier in the World News discussion, but it bears repeating:

Daniel Siad, the dead guy, is also credibly linked to the disappearance of a German woman who also appears in the Epstein files -- Siad offered her to Epstein -- and then abruptly went missing in 2015 and is now presumed dead:

Vlado, Michele’s father, says he once overheard his daughter on the phone with Siad and he confronted her: Who is this guy? "Michele said she worked for him as an escort," Vlado recalls. Today, her mother believes that "Siad set Michele up with rich people who took advantage of her." The fact that there is overlap between the modeling and escort worlds is an open secret in the industry. The Epstein documents reveal at least one modeling agency that offered him women from its roster. There are rumors of models being pushed into prostitution. Daniel Siad, too, appears to have blurred those lines. He promised women work as photo models – and possibly offered them up to wealthy men. That is apparently what happened with Michele and Jeffrey Epstein.

As of the time of publication of that article, June 2026, there are over 2,000 mentions of Daniel Siad by name in the public Epstein files.
