Hoffenberg’s body was in such a grave state of decomposition that a medical examiner is currently using dental records to confirm that it is him. 

The source at Derby Police however told DailyMail.com they are ‘extremely confident’ it is Hoffenberg. 

‘There is nothing to suggest that this is not him. Every piece of evidence that we obtained – his vehicle, medical records, ID phone etc, all belong to him.’ 

A formal identification is expected in the next few days. 

Hoffenberg served 18 years in prison for running a Ponzi scheme which he claimed was masterminded by Jeffrey Epstein. 

Epstein was never charged.
