*** EA novel spoilers up ahead ***
In the novel, the broker dies by comitting suicide but awakens into another clone. He's the only one with access to the technology he uses, and due to the fact he uses other bodies than his own in the end the copy process ends up backfiring on him.
I have heard of capsuleers claiming to get mind backups done at regular intervals so in case they die a clone can be reactivated with the last backup. Not sure how cannon this is, afaik it isn't in the PF other than the broker, and I am not sure if the mind in other body or mind backup is what the broker has exclusive access to.

I'll just leave this here:

Sounds similar to the Broker, a body clone with a different mind inside of it. Unless of course the eating with the wrong hand was done on purpose by the main character to help strengthen his false alibi.

Ah, missed that part! He's rather wealthy by non-capsuleer standards though.

I think the presence of non-destructive scanning is implicit in jumpcloning. The problem is that the normal scanner literally burns the brain up. Were this the case, you wouldn't have a handy, still implanted clone waiting for you.
Also, for context, the only chronicle that references jump cloning was written well before the mechanic was introduced in-game. There is no PF that is contemporary with the mechanic which mentions it, unless someone cares to dig and see if there is a relevant news article.
You have a 24 hour jump delay. Other than game mechanics, couldn't this period be used to grow new brain cells and prepare the body left behind for the jump back? I'm not sure how they'd put in a new brain but I think the same nano machine thingies that repair wounds quickly could be fit for the job?

My feeling on it though remains that the destructive scan is used in the pod because of issues of time. It needs to be instantaneous because you are about to die. So it pulses, images and simultaneously destroys the brain. Given more time I don't see why a less (which is to say - non) destructive scan couldn't be done with the sort of tech available in the Eve universe.
Never thought about a slower copy process. I assumed clone jumping was instantly, based off the game mechanics.
