Mega Edition: Jeffrey Epstein And Pay For Play Scam In The USVI (9/24/25)

Jeffrey Epstein was able to secure political cover in the U.S. Virgin Islands through a combination of money, influence, and strategic alliances with elected officials. Court filings and investigative reports show that he funneled donations to politicians like Delegate Stacey Plaskett and leveraged his relationship with Cecile de Jongh, the former First Lady of the USVI, to shape local politics and policy in his favor. Epstein even enlisted de Jongh to help him track which politicians to support, while he quietly pushed for changes to sex-offender monitoring laws that would make it easier for him to move young women in and out of the territory. Despite his conviction, he continued to receive lucrative tax incentives and regulatory leniency, illustrating how deeply entrenched his influence was across the island’s power structure.The cover extended beyond donations into active suppression of accountability. Former Attorney General Denise George secured a $105 million settlement from Epstein’s estate and sued JPMorgan Chase for enabling his trafficking network, only to be abruptly fired shortly after filing the lawsuit. That firing, combined with legal dismissals in lawsuits alleging government complicity, reinforced suspicions that the USVI’s political establishment protected Epstein for years. While Epstein used the islands as his base of operations, the government that should have policed him instead appeared to enable him, providing the façade of legitimacy that allowed his crimes to continue unchecked.to contact me:[email protected] a supporter of this podcast: https://www.spreaker.com/podcast/the-moscow-murders-and-more--5852883/support.
