This is a lazy joke about Jeffrey Epstein, who Ken White is also quite certain killed himself; the conspiracy theories about Epstein depend on people's movie-plot misunderstandings of the competence of federal penitentiary workers and their managers (in his telling [and thus my belief]).
But why would a formerly super wealthy sex addict who always got whatever he wanted possibly want to kill himself when facing life in prison? It just doesn't make any sense.
If this was meant to be sarcastic, you should add an /s tag. I've seen too many posts essentially arguing exactly what you are saying but that were actually serious.
