Crappy source, but the info in this article seems legit and is a crazy read.
Presumably Seckel met Epstein through his sort-of wife, Isabel Maxwell — the sister of alleged Epstein enabler Ghislaine Maxwell — whom he had married in 2007, while apparently still married to someone else.
“I was never able to establish to my satisfaction that Seckel had died.” Though he didn’t devote a lot of time to the question, he continued, “I always had my suspicions that maybe he faked his own death; it would have been in character.” Others who knew Seckel also have their doubts that he’s dead and, in fact, it’s difficult to verify; authorities in France did not respond to inquiries.

Dmitry Rybolovlev is the Russian oligarch who sold the painting “Salvator Mundi” to Mohammed bin Salman for $450 million in 2017. He also bought a Palm Springs mansion from Trump in 2008 for $30 million dollars over it’s appraised value. The same mansion both Trump and Epstein coveted in 2004.
There’s an article that goes into more detail here. It’s fairly dismissive of the whole conspiracy, but I’m not so sure. - Comment on His name is 4 months ago:

Tacky, but also the artwork is just flat-out terrible. The ear is sliding down his neck (which, if it were the one hit might make more sense?), and his eye socket is too high and too far forward. Undoubtedly a case of, “you get what you pay for”.

Sorry I didn’t get back there for a bit, but here’s a pic of the opposite end of the aisle from today. Neither mention butter. Unless they consider it a “chilled bev”, lol. Image

Not sure what the stores are like where you live, but this one (a larger Safeway in a major metro area) has 8-10 cold storage units spread around the entire place.
Some smaller (eggs and yogurt in one, salsas, hummus and dips in another) and some (like this one) entire aisles.
Being ignorant of the facts while asserting, “You’re dumb” is rich, but also sadly par for the course in online discussions.

It’s often the case, as it was here, that finding an available employee is a similarly challenging and time-consuming proposition.

Problem is, there were like 8 different refrigerated sections. Milks and juices. Dairy, including cheeses and yogurts (which is where I was fully expecting it to be and which I went back to multiple times). Meats. Desserts and puddings. Salsas, dips and such. And several others. I think I just walked by the alcohol aisle repeatedly thinking, “Well, I know it’s not down that one”.

The more popular a show, the more money writers get (residuals). In the old days, viewership was measured independently and those numbers shared (Nielsen). In the steaming age, streaming services basically tell writers, “trust us”.
