The Guardian | The strange case of Epstein cellmate and quadruple murderer Nicholas Tartaglione by Edward Helmore

AI generated summary, Read the full article for complete information.

In May 2026 Edward Helmore reported that Nicholas Tartaglione—once a retired police officer turned cocaine dealer who was convicted in 2023 of kidnapping and murdering four men in a 2016 “Likquid Lounge” incident in Chester, New York—had been placed in the same Manhattan federal detention cell as Jeffrey Epstein in 2019, where he initially alleged that Epstein was assaulted after a reported suicide attempt but later withdrew the claim, after which prison officials deemed Epstein’s death a suicide. Tartaglione later turned over a handwritten note, allegedly hidden by Epstein in a graphic novel, which was unsealed after a court petition and contains cryptic statements such as “It is a treat to be able to choose one’s time to say goodbye.” The note’s authenticity has been disputed: Epstein’s brother claims it is a forgery, while Tartaglione’s lawyers assert it was not used to prove any murder conspiracy. Prosecutors maintain Epstein killed himself, rejecting theories of a jail homicide, and Tartaglione is now appealing his life‑sentence on grounds of insufficient evidence and procedural flaws in his murder trial.

Le frère de #JeffreyEpstein qualifie de grosse merde la nouvelle "note de suicide" supposée écrite par le financier déshonoré avant sa mort en prison.

#MarkEpstein dit qu'il croit que la note manuscrite qui a été dé-scellée cette semaine par un juge fédéral est un faux conçu en propagande pour appuyer la thèse officielle que son frère serait mort par #suicide dans sa cellule de prison en attendant son procès en 2019.

"Il n'est pas difficile d'obtenir une telle note des mains d'un pro du fake. C'est la m... qu'il y a de plus facile à fabriquer dans ce monde

Il a toujours rejeté la thèse officielle et maintenu que son frère a été assassiné."

C'est tellement évident que même moi qui ne suis ni keuf, ni toubib, ni détective privé, et vraiment pas une experte dans les saloperies crasses dont les humains sont capable, ben, ça m'a pété aux yeux dès que les premières vidéo de surveillance de sa prison ont été libérées par le ministère de la Justice des #US
Si ça m'a été évident à ce point, c'est que ça l'est aussi à tout le monde, y compris à ceux faisant tout pour prétendre le contraire.

Who we are arises from how we have been hurt

From Mari Ruti’s The Call of Character pg 18:

Likewise, there is perhaps nothing that contributes to the uniqueness of our character more than our suffering. In so many ways, who we are arises from how we have been hurt. This does not mean that we cannot find our way past our injuries or that they determine our future. But it does suggest that our sense of authenticity cannot be divorced from the hardships and disappointments we have endured.

From pg 21:

It may, for example, turn out that something that causes us suffering will eventually grow into a nugget of wisdom that guides us to a valuable course adjustment. And a breakdown that leaves us gasping for air can eventually lead to an important breakthrough that reconfigures our lives for the better. This is why Nietzsche believes that we should choose to love our fate—that instead of struggling against the constraints of our situation, we should actively welcome these constraints because they are the foundation of our ability to elaborate our character.

This is exactly what I found so powerful in Hans Loewald’s notion of transforming ghosts into ancestors. There’s a particular mode through which we metabolise suffering, the deep and profound ontological injuries which mean we can’t continue as we were, which makes a particular mode of growth possible. From Thoughts Without a Thinker by Mark Epstein pg 200-201:

The psychoanalyst Hans Loewald wrote of transforming the ghosts that haunt patients into ancestors, through tasting what he called the “blood of recognition” in the relationship with the therapist. He asserted that the ghosts must be led out of the unconscious, reawakened through the intensity of the therapeutic relationship, and then laid to rest, relegated to history, thus allowing the person more flexibility and intensity in present relations.

There are things we can be lost within which these wounds, or rather the process of moving through them, can lead us out of. We don’t become someone who wasn’t hurt in this way but rather become someone who can live well despite being hurt in that way. In Lacanian terms we see a reconfiguration of the relationship to our own enjoyment, as we reclaim it through a movement of traversing a (now shattered) fantasy. But Mari Ruti expresses it so much more beautifully and concretely than any of the Lacanians do.
