This is something I've tracked for years and the pattern is genuinely difficult to dismiss. The Jeffrey Epstein case brought it back into mainstream conversation but researchers in this community have been cataloguing these incidents going back decades - the BCCI banking scandal, various Clinton-era deaths, the string of microbiologists who died in the early 2000s. You look at each one individually and maybe you accept the official verdict. You look at them as a cluster and the statistical improbability becomes quite striking.
What concerns me more than any single case is the chilling effect it creates regardless of what's actually happening. Potential witnesses have to weigh that up. That alone serves powerful interests whether theres deliberate action behind it or not.
Has anyone here done proper database work on this? I've started cross-referencing publicly available court records with death certificates where accessible but UK records are harder to obtain than American ones. Would be interested if anyone has done more systematic analysis rather than just compiling lists.
