Little Saint James is an island of the United States Virgin Islands, located off the east end of St. Thomas. The island is privately owned by American financier and convicted sex offender Jeffrey Epstein. Why was the Zorro farm never investigated? What is ongoing on this farm since his death? This suppose to be a crime scene ? Interpol and other independents companies, must be involved into those investigations. All those little ones have human rights and are still living in fear, that is UNFAIR.

Jeffrey graduated from high school and went on to take college-level classes, but never obtained a degree. In the middle 1970s, he started working for Bear Stearns as an assistant. He remained focused on his career, climbing up the ladder until he eventually gained enough knowledge to open his own consulting firm in 1981. Over the years, Epstein never married. Although he had a couple of longterm girlfriends, he never settled down. He also never had any children. Instead of starting a family, Epstein focused on his professional career. His net worth was estimated at $1 billion, according to Celebrity Net Worth.

“Epstein, who has homes in Manhattan, Palm Beach, New Mexico, Paris and in the U.S. Virgin Islands, sexually abused dozens of girls, mostly 13-16 years old, at his Palm Beach mansion from 1999 to 2006, according to investigators.
He used the girls to help recruit other young girls as part of an operation that ran similar to a pyramid scheme. He also had recruiters who helped with his appointments, scheduling as many as three or four girls a day, the FBI probe found,” the Miami Herald previously reported.
Epstein previously dated Ghislaine Maxwell, and rumors indicate that she later became his madam — a claim that she has denied. Ghislaine met Epstein in New York after her father, media mogul Robert Maxwell, died. Ghislaine was a socialite and was friends with many high-profile people. After she and Epstein ended their romantic relationship, sources claim that the two “worked” together.

One of the two guards on duty at the time of Jeffrey Epstein’s death was reportedly a substitute who didn’t typically work as a corrections officer. This comes as Congress, the Justice Department and FBI launch investigations. CBS News legal analyst Rikki Klieman joins CBSN to take us through the latest developments.

Financier Jeffrey Epstein is an accused sex trafficker. This much we know. The new SDNY investigation will hopefully cure the bogus plea deal Epstein received in Florida at the direction of then-U.S. Attorney Alex Acosta, who is now an ex-secretary of labor due to negative publicity finally catching up to the deal and rubbing off on President Trump’s administration.
But where did Epstein’s money come from? Where does it go? There are plenty of media reports suggesting that Epstein ran his own hedge fund after leaving Bear Stearns but no one seems to know who his clients were beyond retail king Les Wexner, nor whom he traded with.
One report even suggested that Epstein might have belonged to “intelligence.”
Well, even spies are required to pay their taxes.
The bare-bones financial statement provided to the Federal Court in Manhattan on Monday, which summarized Epstein’s wealth, left out a whole lot of detail—frustrating the prosecutors but tantalizing the rest of the world. According to his lawyers, Epstein is half a billionaire—worth in excess of $500 million. Lots of cash, equity investments and properties (including offshore in the U.S. Virgin Islands) were outlined, but no real detail was included that could explain the “piles of cash” and dozens of diamonds found in his safe by FBI agents during a raid on his $77 million Upper East Side mansion.
Nor was much explanation provided for the passport found in the safe—issued by Austria with a Saudi address, and bearing Epstein’s photo but containing a different name. Police have not confirmed whether the passport is legitimate or fake; Epstein’s lawyers say it was just for protection against hijacking.
The Daily Beast has previously reported on Epstein’s supposed multimillion-dollar investment in a modeling agency called MC2, run by his associate Jean-Luc Brunel, which allegedly sourced models from Europe. (Brunel has denied that Epstein helped fund his agency.)
*
Epstein is also alleged to have secretly invested $1 million in an Israeli tech start-up originally called Reporty Homeland Security Ltd. but now called Carbyne Ltd.
Former Israeli Prime Minister Ehud Barak is the chairman of Carbyne Ltd., which purports to develop call-handling and identification capabilities for emergency response services.
Carbyne Ltd. has offices and employees throughout South America and just opened offices in Mexico. Israel’s current prime minister, Benjamin Netanyahu, was quick to attack his rival Barak’s association with Epstein, raising questions not only about Carbyne Ltd. but also queries about a 2004 transfer of $2.3 million from the Wexner Foundation, apparently made by Epstein to Barak for murky reasons.
Barak claimed the Wexner transfer was for “research” purposes and that Carbyne Ltd. was a legitimate business that had paid all its taxes.
Did they? Did Epstein? Given the immense unexplained wealth accumulated by Epstein, authorities will surely give serious consideration to exploring the money trails via a criminal tax fraud and/or money laundering investigation.
Professor Thomas Volscho, who has been researching Epstein for a book he is writing, explained to me in an email that he believes Epstein advised wealthy clients on sophisticated tax shelters when Epstein worked at Bear Stearns.
Volscho further noted that Epstein controlled “tons of entities (LLCs).” LLC’s stands for Limited Liability Companies, which are also known as “shell companies” used by sophisticated real-estate investors to purchase luxury real properties in an anonymous fashion. They are also used by money launderers as conduits to move monies around offshore without attracting undue attention from the authorities.

With regards to the relationship between Barak and Epstein, the Likud complaint stated that, “Mr. Barak was photographed coming out of Mr. Epstein’s apartment in 2016. So close were the ties between the two that Mr. Barak’s name even appeared in Mr. Epstein’s black notebook. In this context, there is a real need to examine whether the ‘grants’ Barak received from the Wexner Foundation and/or Mr. Epstein ceased in 2 006 or changed form in the years that followed, and continued to be given to him.” The Wexner Foundation focuses on the development of Jewish professional and volunteer leaders in North America and public leaders in Israel. Between 2004 and 2006, while he was a private citizen, $2.3 million was transferred to Barak for “research” that was never published.

Michael Cohen most famously made use of a shell company LLC called Essential Consultants as a secret conduit to conceal ‘hush money payments’ from Donald Trump to porn star Stormy Daniels. Paul Manafort also famously made use of offshore shell companies and bank accounts in Cyprus and other locations to make covert luxury purchases in the States.
If a federal agent came to me and requested authorization to open up a criminal tax and/or money laundering investigation regarding Epstein’s unexplained cash and diamonds as well as his alleged concealed investments into MC2 and Carbyne Ltd. with concomitant concealed income streams, I would likely approve.
The investigation into Trump-connected lobbyist Manafort might serve as a blueprint for such an investigation. Obviously, all bank and equity accounts would require subpoenas and spreadsheet analysis. But requests for personal tax returns with an emphasis on Schedule B for analysis would be a mandatory cross-reference. Schedule B on the 1040 form contains the famous three Yes/No questions that Manafort lied about with regard to foreign bank account ownership and activity. FinCEN databases would also need to be queried.
First and foremost, all Suspicious Activity Reports (SARs) would need to be scrutinized. FinCEN had over 20 SARs on Manafort in their database regarding his suspicious foreign bank account activities using shell companies. What might this database reveal concerning Epstein’s foreign financial transactions? Is there a SAR existent with regard to the 2004 wire transfer to Ehud Barak? Are there other SARs available regarding suspicious foreign bank account activity in recent years by Epstein?
How did Epstein get his million-dollar investment in Carbyne to Barak? Wire transfer to Barak’s LLC in Israel? Did Epstein file the required foreign bank account record (FBAR) with FinCEN? Manafort ended up pleading to multiple counts of FBAR felonies after he was caught lying to his accountant(s) about not being required to file. Does FinCEN have any FBARs on record for Epstein with regard to his foreign financial transactions? And if not, why not?
Does the IRS have Foreign Account Tax Compliance (FATCA) files available on Epstein that might inform with regard to Epstein’s foreign financial transactions?
Have local New York and Florida banks filed Currency Transaction Reports (CTRs) with FinCEN regarding cash deposits and/or withdrawals by Epstein that might explain the “tons of cash” found in his safe?
A careful FinCEN database query on each of Epstein’s four potential co-conspirators from his Florida plea deal might also be fruitful. Certainly, queries should also be made for any names associated with Epstein such as the alleged alias on his Austrian passport.
Hedge fund operators, spies, and sex traffickers are all supposed to pay their taxes. The above financial investigative steps would be recommended to the SDNY in the case of Jeffrey Epstein, whatever the mysterious or potentially nefarious source of his income might be.

Prosecutors are arguing he should be held without bail until trial because he’s a flight risk.
FBI agents found “piles of cash,” dozens of diamonds and an expired foreign passport in Jeffrey Epstein’s when they raided his Manhattan mansion last week, prosecutors revealed Monday.
Prosecutors said the passport was issued by Austria, was dated in the 1980s, and gave a residence in Saudi Arabia. It was not issued under Epstein’s name but did have what appeared to be a photo of him. Prosecutors have not determined if it was issued by the government or is a fake, they said.
The safe’s contents were disclosed during a bail hearing at which prosecutors—and accusers—argued that Epstein is a flight risk and should be kept locked up until his sex-trafficking trial.

“I was sexually abused by Jeffrey Epstein starting at age 14,” accuser Courtney Wild told the court. “I would just like the court to not to grant him bond, just for the safety of any other girls out there. He is a scary person to have walking the streets.”

Another woman, Annie Farmer, said she was 16 when she met Epstein and he flew her to New Mexico. “He was inappropriate with me,” she said. Farmer’s older sister, Maria, claimed in an affidavit in April that Epstein had abused her underage sister in New Mexico and also accused Epstein and his alleged madam, socialite Ghislaine Maxwell, of raping her at billionaire Les Wexner’s Ohio Mansion. The retail mogul Wexner is Epstein’s only known client. He did not respond to Maria Farmer’s allegations.
Journalist Vicky Ward has said that the Farmer sisters and their mother tried to warn about Epstein’s sexual predations in 2003 for her now-famous profile of the financier for Vanity Fair, but that editor Graydon Carter cut the allegations from the final piece. (Carter has claimed that he didn’t “have confidence” in Ward’s reporting at the time.) Epstein, 66, looking fatigued and wearing navy-blue jail garb, stared blankly ahead for most of the hearing. He has been held at the federal Metropolitan Correctional Center in Manhattan since his July 6 arrest but has asked to be released and put on house arrest with armed guards and surveillance. Prosecutors said that was inadequate to make sure he would not skip town.
“The defendant is asking for special treatment to build his own jail,” Assistant U.S. Attorney Alex Rossmiller told the court, adding that Epstein has “vast assets and every incentive in the world to use those assets.”
Bank documents the government got last week show Epstein has $110 million in a single account—and another $400 million in various holdings, Rossmiller noted. A federal probation office agrees with prosecutors that Epstein should be detained, but U.S. District Judge Richard Berman said he has not decided whether to grant bail and won’t announce a ruling until Thursday. He told the defense he is not satisfied with the financial information that Epstein filed under seal, which amounted to “less than a page,” and is inclined to make it public. Epstein’s team said the bail submission was “admittedly rough.” But, attorney Martin Weinberg added, “Let me be blunt, whatever bond you want Mr. Epstein to sign… he will sign. He fully intends to appear.”
To bolster his argument that Epstein should be allowed to await trial on house arrest in what prosecutors referred to as his “gilded cage,” Weinberg dropped the names of two of the biggest financial villains in modern U.S. history who got bail: Ponzi schemer Bernie Madoff and Enron felon Jeffrey Skilling.
“He’s not an out-of-control rapist,” Weinberg said of his client. “How do you know that?” Judge Berman retorted. Monday’s hearing followed a flurry of filings in which Epstein’s defense team and federal prosecutors dueled over whether the filthy-rich financier would go on the lam if he was released.
The government argued that Epstein’s international connections and wealth meant it would be easy for him to get beyond the arm of the law.
Even if he didn’t turn fugitive, prosecutors argued, Epstein has a history of witness-tampering, including wiring $350,000 late last year to two alleged accomplices after the Miami Herald published its expose on his Florida plea deal.
Epstein’s attorneys, on the other hand, have argued that the indictment unsealed last week is so flimsy that their client, who pleaded not guilty, has no reason not to fight the charges. “You don’t punish first and have a trial second,” Weinberg told the judge. Epstein has offered up a bail package that included armed guards and surveillance cameras, a GPS ankle monitor, and a “trustee” who would live in the seven-story mansion and report back to the feds.

Although the indictment details alleged crimes against just three girls between 2002 and 2005, other accusers have come forward since Epstein’s arrest—in New York and in New Mexico, where he owns a spread of land called the Zorro Ranch. The case, Rossmiller said, is “getting stronger every day.”

Epstein also owns a private island in the Caribbean and a lavish estate in Palm Beach, a fleet of cars and a private jet that has hosted former President Bill Clinton, actor Kevin Spacey, Prince Andrew, and lawyer Alan Dershowitz. Two of Epstein’s accusers have said in court papers that Dershowitz was aware of and even took part in the sex with minors—which he has vigorously denied. Clinton put out a statement last week distancing himself from Epstein, but failed to mention at least one dinner they attended. The Epstein scandal has already had a political impact. Acosta, who chose not to charge Epstein federally in Florida when he was U.S. attorney, was forced to step down as President Trump’s labor secretary amid fury over his actions in the case.
