I think the disappearing part wasn't a part of the plan but I could see them putting the dude on house arrest and no one followed up. That way, he was arrested and everyone thought it was handled but in reality, the dude gets off light. I'm pretty sure the people who agreed to all this didn't want any of this to get out by him escaping.

.. but he still has a sentencing hearing. It's right in the title. This conspiracy theory doesn't hold up at all.

See Epstein and how his whole sentencing and what that looked like in practice.
