Convicted sex offender Jeffrey Epstein’s last known words, sent hours before his death in a Manhattan jail cell, carried an eerie double meaning.

The 66-year-old financier, found hanged on August 10, 2019, while awaiting trial on sex-trafficking charges, told journalist Michael Wolff he was "still hanging around," according to a revelation on "The Daily Beast Podcast” aired Thursday.

Wolff, a biographer known for his work on Donald Trump, shared the haunting exchange, which came through one of Epstein’s lawyers on the Friday evening before his death.

"I believe that I got the last message from him before he died," Wolff said. "And this came through one of his lawyers on a Friday evening. He died on Saturday morning. His message to me hours before this happened was — and it was just in response to me asking how he was — and he said, ‘Still hanging around.'"

The Department of Justice this week reaffirmed that Epstein’s death at the Metropolitan Detention Center was a suicide, dismissing years of speculation about foul play that remains ongoing.

Wolff, who had been in contact with Epstein since declining to write his biography in 2014, offered no clear theory on the death.

"I don’t know," he said. "He could not, as described, have killed himself. As the circumstances presented, he could not have been murdered."

In a separate development, federal investigators disclosed that Epstein’s crimes spanned far wider than previously known, with over 1,000 victims across more than two decades.

A Justice Department and FBI memo released last week detailed the staggering scope of his sex-trafficking operation, far exceeding the numbers cited in his 2019 indictment or civil lawsuits.

Epstein had more than 1,000 victims in a sex trafficking scheme that spanned over two decades.

The memo addressed the breadth of Epstein’s harm, emphasizing the trauma endured by his victims, many of whom were minors.

"Consistent with prior disclosures, this review confirmed that Epstein harmed over one thousand victims," the memo reads. "Each suffered unique trauma. Sensitive information relating to these victims is intertwined throughout the materials. This includes specific details such as victim names and likenesses, physical descriptions, places of birth, associates, and employment history."

The memo also clarified that no "incriminating ‘client list'" was found, and unreleased files—containing over 10,000 videos and images, including illegal child sex abuse material—remain sealed to protect victims.

"Much of the material is subject to court-ordered sealing," the memo reads. "Only a fraction of this material would have been aired publicly had Epstein gone to trial, as the seal served only to protect victims and did not expose any additional third-parties to allegations of illegal wrongdoing."

A victims’ compensation fund has distributed over $120 million to 150 accusers, some as young as 14 at the time of their abuse, FOX Business reported.

Meanwhile, Epstein’s accomplice, Ghislaine Maxwell, convicted of trafficking, is appealing her verdict, delaying further release of evidence.

The FBI declined to comment on the additional victims.

Epstein’s brother has publicly disputed the suicide ruling, and conspiracy theories persist, fueled by the financier’s high-profile connections.

Virginia Giuffre, a key accuser whose lawsuits unsealed thousands of documents, died by suicide earlier this year.

The Epstein case remains a grim reminder of systemic failures and the long shadow cast by unchecked power.

With federal authorities standing firm on their findings and thousands of victims still seeking closure, the full truth may remain locked away, sealed by courts and haunted by questions that refuse to die.
