French modelling scout linked to Epstein found dead
Daniel Siad, a French modelling scout with ties to the late convicted sex offender Jeffrey Epstein, was found dead at his home outside Paris, prosecutors said on Wednesday. His body was discovered Monday evening, and an autopsy will determine the cause. Siad, whose name appears in the Epstein files many times, had denied knowing the threat Epstein posed.
Why it matters
Siad's death removes a figure named repeatedly in the Epstein files, potentially complicating ongoing scrutiny of the disgraced financier's network.
