The handwritten note, posted Wednesday to a court docket, says investigators spent months on him and "FOUND NOTHING!!!" before adding, "NOT WORTH IT!!"
According to his former cellmate Nicholas Tartaglione, it was discovered tucked inside a book after Epstein's 2019 death in jail.
The document had remained sealed for years in Tartaglione's criminal case until Judge Kenneth Karas unsealed it after a New York Times petition.
Why was Epstein's note concealed for years, and what does its release reveal about government transparency?
How will this long-hidden note impact the ongoing 2026 investigation into the full circumstances of Epstein's death?
