The 'Epstein Files' continuously unravel secrets tied to prominent figures across various nations. From Trump and Bill Gates to notable politicians, entrepreneurs, artists, and even scientists from Europe, the Middle East, Africa, and Asia, none seem untouched by its revelations. Dive into the story of Jeffrey Epstein, a longstanding influential persona in America, and his infamous island turned into a hedonistic haven.
Amidst the ongoing territorial dispute between America and Denmark over Greenland, Jeffrey Epstein's island purchase is rooted in a historic land deal. Back in 1917, under the Danish West Indies treaty, the U.S. acquired the Virgin Islands for $25 million (approximately $633 million today), including roughly 60 islands. Among them, Little St. James Island caught Epstein's eye in 1998. Transforming this 70-acre land into his primary residence, it served as the setting for numerous illicit parties involving underage individuals. Post Epstein's 2019 demise, this island earned the notorious monikers 'Epstein Island' or 'Pedophile Island'.
Over 2,000 Flights to Epstein's Island Remain Unreported
Recent investigations reveal that over 2,000 flights to Epstein's island went unlogged. A startling review uncovers unreported flights to the American Virgin Islands, intentionally shrouding the identities of visitors.
A Daily Star report underscores a new data analysis exposing over 2,000 previously unreported flights connected to Jeffrey Epstein's private isle. Conducted by Zalongo Data Refinery, this investigation unveils undisclosed journeys to and from the island.
Between 1995 and 2007, data analysis found 2,348 additional flights amidst 5,253 recorded, spanning reported and unreported air trips to the island. Researchers identified 1,089 previously unknown flight routes connecting the island to various private destinations.

Teams emphasized these findings were compiled from publicly available Justice Department records and verified through three independent sources to ensure accuracy. Post-data gathering, they quantified departures and arrivals to and from the island.
The CEO of Zalongo Data Refinery noted this discovery contrasted dramatically with the publicly known 20-30 flight paths. The shocking revelation was that known data covered merely a fraction of available insights.
The analysis uncovered attendance of 2,348 individuals on the island, starkly exceeding the known 150-200. The magnitude of visits implies a significant operation beyond a few mischievous escapades. Epstein hosted a secretive elite congregation, involving non-reported high-level private flights, helicopters, jets, and charters, obfuscating the identities of distinguished guests who arrived and departed this island sanctuary.
Who is Jeffrey Epstein?
Jeffrey Epstein was a prominent financier in America. His influence was so extensive that figures like Trump, Bill Clinton, members of the British royal family, and other global elites attended his invitations. According to a BBC report, Epstein, in 2011, alleged to the New York Post that he was not a sex offender, merely a criminal. Epstein died on August 10, 2019, in a New York jail while awaiting trial on charges related to trafficking and exploiting minors with no bail prospect.
Epstein was accused of operating an expansive network exploiting underage girls. Previously convicted for facilitating prostitution with minors, he was incarcerated. Born and raised in New York, Epstein taught math and physics at the city's private Dalton School in the mid-1970s, with a background in physical sciences and mathematics, yet, he never graduated.

By 1982, Epstein initiated his own firm, J. Epstein & Company, managing over $1 billion in client assets. Rapid success allowed lavish acquisitions such as a grand Florida residence, a farm in New Mexico, and reportedly the largest private home in New York. His social circle encompassed celebrities, artists, and politicians.
Friendships with Influential Figures like Trump and Clinton
Trump penned an article for New York Magazine in 2002 portraying Epstein as a charismatic acquaintance of 15 years, highlighting shared affinities, notably for beautiful, young women.
Besides Trump, Epstein entertained other high-profile connections, devoid of suggesting any involvement in wrongdoing. In 2002, he coordinated a specialized private jet journey to Africa with former President Bill Clinton and actors Kevin Spacey and Chris Tucker. By 2003, alongside filmmaker Harvey Weinstein, he attempted, albeit unsuccessfully, to acquire New York Magazine, also donating $30 million to Harvard University in that year.
