Jeffrey Epstein's private islands to be listed for $125 million: Report
[Washington Examiner] Two private islands owned by the late Jeffrey Epstein are hitting the market for $125 million, reports say.

The proceeds from the sale of the properties, Great St. James and Little St. James, will be used to pay off outstanding lawsuits and the cost of the financier's extensive estate operations, Daniel Weiner, an attorney for the Epstein estate, told the Wall Street Journal.

Epstein first purchased Little St. James, which spans 70 acres and includes a main residential compound with four guest villas, in 1998 for $7.95 million. In 2016, Epstein bought the 165-acre Great St. James, which remains largely undeveloped, for $18 million, according to the outlet.

Allegations surrounding activities at the private islands have been at the center of several lawsuits.

In 2020, Virgin Islands Attorney General Denise George filed a lawsuit against Epstein's estate, alleging that underage girls and young women were taken to Little St. James by him and his associates and forced into sexual servitude.

Last year, George added new allegations to the lawsuit, claiming that Epstein and his associates forced at least three U.S. victims into arranged marriages to avoid deportation.

A number of high-profile celebrities and officials have allegedly visited the island over the years, including President Bill Clinton, Prince Andrew, and Kevin Spacey.

A former Liberal President to purchase one of the Islands and hire dozen 16 y/o hand-picked housekeepers.

When asked why?
He stated, because of all the fond memories he had there. Plus he has a lot of friends he plan's to invite over.

#7 Perhaps our elites can use the island as their Vault after they start WWIII with Vlad. Andrew Anglin says:

The US elite is actually too cowardly to start a nuclear war. The people claiming that we could win such a conflict are the same people who said that the Kabul government would stand for at least six months – they were off by roughly five months and 29 days.

So if you’re a pedophile or other pervert in Washington, or a deranged old man, then do you really have the nerve to bet that the US can win a nuclear war, that you won’t get nuked, and that if you do get nuked you can escape to an underground bunker and live out the rest of your life in a Fallout-style Vault?

We will see if hubris can trump rational self-interest and kick off WWIII. It’s certainly possible. But I’d say the chances are lower than 20%. I think there’s an 80% chance that the people in Washington are going to keep choking, and when the dollar collapses, they will just try to maneuver into becoming a third world type elite class.

(For those who don’t know, third world countries have massive peasant populations, and tiny ultra-wealthy elites who live in castles and drive around the crowded streets in Lamborghinis. No peasant will touch them, as they all know that the police exist for the sole purpose of protecting the elite.)

#11 What if, big what if, but what if the tizzy in Hollywood about Haiti being a shithole was as much about Bad Trump as it was about Port-au-Prince being a layover with a VIP lounge, where they got the best of the best treatment until their connecting flight?
