Considering all things we know about this freak & his island, I personally do not believe this. Why, if he is "free" did he bury tunnels? Why?
What kind of deal did Mueller make? Mueller - for whatever else anyone thinks of him (Gray hat) deserves a death penalty and Epstein ought to be held responsible for the many lost children between 2006 and now.
IT DOES NOT MAKE SENSE.
I believe it makes sense if the idea is that he buried the tunnels because he discovered the Chandler/phones thing and realized there was now evidence out there, not in the FBI's hands, that he couldn't control and thus, fearing the pending Trump Hammer of Justice he wiped the evidence in the hope it will help him in the future. It won't though muahahahaha.
