Jeffrey Epstein and His Mystery Bank In The USVI · The Vault: The Epstein Files

• 0:00
  Speaker 1: What's up everyone, and welcome back to the Epstein Chronicles.
• 0:05
  Speaker 1: As we continue to watch the lawsuit down in the
• 0:08
  Speaker 1: US Virgin Islands make its way through the court, I
• 0:12
  Speaker 1: think it's important to remember that the US Virgin Islands
• 0:15
  Speaker 1: itself played a part in helping Jeffrey Epstein maintain his
• 0:19
  Speaker 1: criminal enterprise. And not only that, but he was given
• 0:23
  Speaker 1: all kinds of advantages down in the US Virgin Islands
• 0:27
  Speaker 1: as far as taxes and other business type of arrangements go. Meanwhile,
• 0:34
  Speaker 1: the US Virgin Islands is over here yelling and screaming
• 0:37
  Speaker 1: that everybody else is complicit, while they are the arbiters
• 0:42
  Speaker 1: of justice and the only ones who really care about
• 0:45
  Speaker 1: making sure people are held responsible. But is that really
• 0:49
  Speaker 1: the case? Is the US Virgin Islands really in this
• 0:52
  Speaker 1: for justice or are they just in it to make
• 0:56
  Speaker 1: some more money. Today's episode, we're going to go back
• 1:00
  Speaker 1: to a New York Times article that was originally posted
• 1:04
  Speaker 1: in February of twenty twenty, headlined Jeffrey Epstein's mystery bank
• 1:09
  Speaker 1: came alive after his death, receiving millions of dollars from
• 1:13
  Speaker 1: his estate. This article was authored by Matthew Goldstein and
• 1:18
  Speaker 1: Steve eeder. In the years after Jeffrey Epstein registered as
• 1:23
  Speaker 1: a sex offender, he closed his money management firm and
• 1:26
  Speaker 1: started a business to develop algorithms and mind DNA and
• 1:30
  Speaker 1: financial databases. Then he set up a bank. In a
• 1:35
  Speaker 1: banking license application reviewed by The New York Times, Epstein
• 1:39
  Speaker 1: described himself as one of the investing world's pioneers and
• 1:44
  Speaker 1: said he wanted to pursue the dynamic discipline of international banking.
• 1:48
  Speaker 1: One of the pioneers. Huh, the pioneers of degeneracy, the
• 1:52
  Speaker 1: pioneers of diddling children. Is that what you mean? Egg dick?
• 1:57
  Speaker 1: Officials in the Virgin Islands, the US terror where Epstein
• 2:01
  Speaker 1: set up most of his businesses, approved a license for
• 2:04
  Speaker 1: him in twenty fourteen to run one of the territories
• 2:07
  Speaker 1: first international banking entities, a specialized bank that can do
• 2:12
  Speaker 1: business only with offshore clients. The approval was unusual given
• 2:17
  Speaker 1: Epstein's status as a convicted sex offender. Well not really.
• 2:21
  Speaker 1: When you pull the layers back and you start looking
• 2:24
  Speaker 1: at the people who were involved, you add all of
• 2:27
  Speaker 1: the powerful people that were working with Epstein, the Bryants,
• 2:31
  Speaker 1: the de jongs, and they were all benefiting from his patronage,
• 2:35
  Speaker 1: and then all of a sudden, he's able to set
• 2:37
  Speaker 1: up the first bank of its kind within the territory
• 2:41
  Speaker 1: of the US Virgin Island and nobody has any other
• 2:44
  Speaker 1: questions for the territory year. Nobody's going to ask them
• 2:48
  Speaker 1: what their role was. It was up to JP Morgan
• 2:50
  Speaker 1: to do that. Where's the legacy media? The bank, called
• 2:54
  Speaker 1: Southern Country International, renewed its license for each of the
• 2:58
  Speaker 1: next five years, but it's on clear whether it conducted
• 3:01
  Speaker 1: any business or had any customers. Epstein, who died while
• 3:06
  Speaker 1: in federal custody last summer following his arrest on sex
• 3:09
  Speaker 1: trafficking charges, does not appear to have done any marketing
• 3:13
  Speaker 1: for the bank or hired much staff. You want to
• 3:16
  Speaker 1: talk about a wash shop, a place to go and
• 3:19
  Speaker 1: wash money, you're looking at it. And when you look
• 3:22
  Speaker 1: at Epstein for what he really is, besides a diddler,
• 3:25
  Speaker 1: besides a molester, he's a money mover. He's a man
• 3:29
  Speaker 1: who knows how to hide money. He's a man who
• 3:31
  Speaker 1: knows how to wash money. And he's a man who
• 3:33
  Speaker 1: knows how to make sure that the government has no
• 3:36
  Speaker 1: idea where you're parking it, so you don't have to
• 3:39
  Speaker 1: be a brainiact to figure out what he needed his
• 3:41
  Speaker 1: own bank for. The bank was created under a territorial
• 3:46
  Speaker 1: law that lacked many of the oversight requirements banks are
• 3:50
  Speaker 1: usually subject to, and its regulatory file is largely empty.
• 3:55
  Speaker 1: A lawyer for Epstein told officials in the US Virgin
• 3:58
  Speaker 1: Islands in two thousand and eight that the southern country
• 4:02
  Speaker 1: had not commenced operations, and regulators in the territory said
• 4:06
  Speaker 1: they did not exercise oversight of the bank because it
• 4:09
  Speaker 1: did not appear to be doing any business. Why did
• 4:12
  Speaker 1: you guys set it up in the first place. The
• 4:15
  Speaker 1: US Virgin Islands still has not answered that question. But
• 4:18
  Speaker 1: yet they get one hundred and five million dollars. And
• 4:21
  Speaker 1: I hate to keep beating on that dead horse, but
• 4:24
  Speaker 1: I think it's very important that we all understand just
• 4:27
  Speaker 1: how ridiculous that move is. They're legit taking food off
• 4:31
  Speaker 1: the table of girls who were actually abused by Jeffrey Epstein,
• 4:35
  Speaker 1: and for what purpose? What are they going to do
• 4:38
  Speaker 1: help out the next scumbag that comes to the island
• 4:40
  Speaker 1: and starts throwing money around. And yet, after Epstein's death,
• 4:45
  Speaker 1: his estate transferred more than twelve million dollars to Southern Country,
• 4:49
  Speaker 1: according to court documents. On Tuesday, out of court hearing
• 4:53
  Speaker 1: in the Virgin Islands on motions involving Epstein's estate, a
• 4:57
  Speaker 1: magistrate Judge Carolyn Hermann Purcell question the estate's lawyers about
• 5:02
  Speaker 1: the transfers to Southern Country, saying the disclosure was not satisfactory.
• 5:08
  Speaker 1: The judge said she did not know why Southern Country
• 5:11
  Speaker 1: would be receiving checks from the estate. There's no explanation
• 5:14
  Speaker 1: for that, she said, of course there is. You know
• 5:17
  Speaker 1: what it was, money washing. Will send it here, then
• 5:21
  Speaker 1: we'll bounce it there, then it'll go everywhere. And even
• 5:25
  Speaker 1: though the government might know what happened, they're not going
• 5:28
  Speaker 1: to be able to prove it. And this is the
• 5:30
  Speaker 1: cycle that Epstein was caught in for how long the
• 5:34
  Speaker 1: way he moved money should have raised so many red
• 5:36
  Speaker 1: flags to so many people who should have been watching that.
• 5:40
  Speaker 1: All of those people, in my opinion, are culpable. The
• 5:44
  Speaker 1: sad part is most of them who were at the
• 5:46
  Speaker 1: levers of power have moved on to other institutions, other entities,
• 5:50
  Speaker 1: and they've never had to answer for the bullshit they
• 5:53
  Speaker 1: were involved in. When it comes to Jeffrey Epstein. Now
• 5:56
  Speaker 1: we're starting to see a little bit of that change
• 5:58
  Speaker 1: with the JP Morgan law law suit. But really, I've
• 6:01
  Speaker 1: had my fill of financial settlements. I think it's time
• 6:05
  Speaker 1: for some real justice, and I think it's time that
• 6:07
  Speaker 1: some of these scumbags ended up in bracelets. A lawyer
• 6:11
  Speaker 1: for the estate responded that some of the payment was
• 6:14
  Speaker 1: made in error, but the judge was not satisfied with
• 6:17
  Speaker 1: the response and asked them to follow up with a
• 6:19
  Speaker 1: fuller accounting. Now the real question should be from the judge,
• 6:23
  Speaker 1: why the hell did my colleagues even let this bank
• 6:26
  Speaker 1: get set up in the first place. Who benefited? Follow
• 6:29
  Speaker 1: the money? How many payments were made out when this
• 6:32
  Speaker 1: bank popped up? How many people cashed big checks from Epstein? Well,
• 6:37
  Speaker 1: we know a lot of people down in the Virgin
• 6:39
  Speaker 1: Islands were eating from Epstein's pomp that were taking things
• 6:43
  Speaker 1: from them, gifts and all sorts of other stuff. So
• 6:46
  Speaker 1: how many of them had money sent to their accounts
• 6:50
  Speaker 1: in the wake of this bank opening. Because we all
• 6:53
  Speaker 1: know if you follow the money, eventually you're gonna end
• 6:56
  Speaker 1: up in some dirty ass politicians office. The checks listed
• 7:01
  Speaker 1: in the estate's transactions for routine payments such as cable
• 7:04
  Speaker 1: TV bills and phone service for Epstein's many properties stand out.
• 7:09
  Speaker 1: The list of payments was filed with Herman Purcell, who
• 7:12
  Speaker 1: was overseeing the six hundred and thirty five million dollar estate,
• 7:16
  Speaker 1: including the possible establishment of a compensation fund for his victims.
• 7:21
  Speaker 1: Now we know that that happens, and we know that
• 7:23
  Speaker 1: the compensation fund paid out roughly one hundred and twenty
• 7:26
  Speaker 1: five million dollars to the survivor's and one hundred and
• 7:30
  Speaker 1: five million dollars to the US Virgin Islands. And you
• 7:33
  Speaker 1: would think that would be enough and their greed would
• 7:36
  Speaker 1: stop there, but it's not. They have to have their
• 7:38
  Speaker 1: hand in the cookie jar a little longer and they
• 7:41
  Speaker 1: have to try and get some more money. Here. Well,
• 7:43
  Speaker 1: they're running into a buzzsaw, and that buz saw is
• 7:46
  Speaker 1: JP Morgan, because JP Morgan is not going to just
• 7:49
  Speaker 1: write a check to the US Virgin Islands when they
• 7:52
  Speaker 1: know that the US Virgin Islands was complicit and duplicitous
• 7:57
  Speaker 1: when it comes to their relationship with Epstein. That Epstein
• 8:01
  Speaker 1: was able to get a banking license in the first
• 8:03
  Speaker 1: place is unusual. His two thousand and eight conviction in
• 8:07
  Speaker 1: Florida on a charge of soliciting prostitution from an underage
• 8:11
  Speaker 1: girl required him to register as a sex offender. Most
• 8:14
  Speaker 1: bank operators doing business in the United States are required
• 8:18
  Speaker 1: to undergo rigorous background checks, and most banking institutions are
• 8:23
  Speaker 1: subject to oversight by the Arm of the Treasury that
• 8:26
  Speaker 1: investigates suspicious financial transactions. It's called the Finsen Division. Neither
• 8:32
  Speaker 1: was required by the Virgin Islands when Epstein submitted the
• 8:35
  Speaker 1: application in twenty thirteen. So who makes the rules down
• 8:39
  Speaker 1: there in the US Virgin Islands. Oh, that's right, the
• 8:41
  Speaker 1: government of the US Virgin Islands. And they were the
• 8:44
  Speaker 1: ones who put these laws on the books to make
• 8:47
  Speaker 1: it so that Epstein could set up this bank so
• 8:49
  Speaker 1: that they could profit. And that's what the evidence shows us.
• 8:53
  Speaker 1: The territory had passed its international Banking Entity law a
• 8:57
  Speaker 1: year earlier in hopes of enticing investment from overseas. It
• 9:01
  Speaker 1: models its law on that of Puerto Rico, where international
• 9:05
  Speaker 1: banking entities have existed for three decades. Such organizations are
• 9:10
  Speaker 1: attractive to offshore investors because the banks are able to
• 9:13
  Speaker 1: offer more favorable tax treatment than the investors own countries can.
• 9:18
  Speaker 1: In return, the territories expect local residents to manage the
• 9:22
  Speaker 1: banks even though they cannot use its services, and under
• 9:26
  Speaker 1: normal circumstances, if you're using these banks for the right purposes,
• 9:30
  Speaker 1: there's no issue here. But we know Epstein wasn't everything
• 9:33
  Speaker 1: this man touched he corrupted. These specialized banks have drawn
• 9:38
  Speaker 1: scrutiny because of their potential for abuse, including money laundering.
• 9:42
  Speaker 1: The Federal Reserve Bank of New York describes international bank
• 9:46
  Speaker 1: entities in the Virgin Islands and Puerto Rico as high
• 9:50
  Speaker 1: risk institutions. Last year, it temporarily suspended applications for them
• 9:55
  Speaker 1: to obtain financial services from the FED until it can
• 9:58
  Speaker 1: issue stricter rules for them. And keep in mind, Epstein
• 10:02
  Speaker 1: could have chosen to go anywhere in the world. He
• 10:04
  Speaker 1: chose to go to the US Virgin Islands and set
• 10:07
  Speaker 1: up shop because the rules were favorable to him, and
• 10:10
  Speaker 1: the rules that weren't favorable to him, well, he had
• 10:13
  Speaker 1: enough money to pay people off to get those rules changed.
• 10:17
  Speaker 1: Epstein was carefully evasive in answering a question on the
• 10:20
  Speaker 1: application that was meant to reveal information about an applicant's
• 10:24
  Speaker 1: criminal record. His response mentioned as guilty plead to state
• 10:28
  Speaker 1: charges in Florida, but played down other elements of the case.
• 10:32
  Speaker 1: Why was he allowed to play it down. Let's not
• 10:35
  Speaker 1: let the Virgin Islands off here. Sure he's gonna try
• 10:38
  Speaker 1: and play it down, but it's up to the regulators
• 10:40
  Speaker 1: and the people in the Virgin Islands who were in
• 10:42
  Speaker 1: these positions of power to stop this man from doing
• 10:45
  Speaker 1: his bullshit. And they did not. They failed. There's no
• 10:49
  Speaker 1: other explanation for it. They failed, and in doing so,
• 10:53
  Speaker 1: they helped Ebstein continue his criminal enterprise for decades, for
• 10:58
  Speaker 1: a relatively brief period in what has otherwise been a
• 11:01
  Speaker 1: productive and accomplished life. The application said Epstein did face
• 11:05
  Speaker 1: some legal difficulties relating to matters alleged to have taken
• 11:09
  Speaker 1: place seven years ago. The application noted that a federal
• 11:13
  Speaker 1: investigation had been discontinued, and that's why it was so
• 11:17
  Speaker 1: important for him to get rid of those federal charges.
• 11:20
  Speaker 1: Back in the day. He had to be able to
• 11:22
  Speaker 1: continue to operate on this level, and he could smooth
• 11:26
  Speaker 1: over the state charges. But if it was federal, and
• 11:29
  Speaker 1: we're talking about the Man Act, or we're talking about
• 11:32
  Speaker 1: human trafficking at the federal level, he would have been
• 11:35
  Speaker 1: toast and there's no way that he could have operated
• 11:38
  Speaker 1: the way he did. So once again he was being enabled,
• 11:42
  Speaker 1: and this time by the broken ass legal system here
• 11:45
  Speaker 1: in the United States that people like Epstein continuously manipulate.
• 11:50
  Speaker 1: But the answer was misleading, said Richard Scott Carnal, a
• 11:54
  Speaker 1: former Assistant Secretary for Financial Institutions at the Treasury Department.
• 12:00
  Speaker 1: The application did not reflect that Epstein's plea deal included
• 12:03
  Speaker 1: an agreement with federal prosecutors who promised not to bring
• 12:07
  Speaker 1: their own charges. The agreement acknowledged that federal authorities had
• 12:11
  Speaker 1: compiled a long list of other possible underage victims. Think
• 12:16
  Speaker 1: about that, they had all of these victims, a whole
• 12:20
  Speaker 1: list of them, amount of evidence, and there were all children,
• 12:23
  Speaker 1: and they decided not to prosecute them for anything but
• 12:25
  Speaker 1: solicitation of a minor bank. Regulators expect applicants to be candid,
• 12:32
  Speaker 1: said Carnal, now an associate professor at Fordham Law School.
• 12:37
  Speaker 1: You'd never suspect there was a non prosecution agreement. As
• 12:40
  Speaker 1: a bank regulator, I'd be outraged to learn that an
• 12:44
  Speaker 1: applicant has misled me in that way. But they didn't care.
• 12:47
  Speaker 1: They all knew what you thought. That the regulators down
• 12:50
  Speaker 1: in the US Virgin Islands weren't hip to what was
• 12:52
  Speaker 1: going on. They were, they knew exactly what was up.
• 12:55
  Speaker 1: They chose to do the Helen Keller and not see
• 12:58
  Speaker 1: what was going on. In his application, Epstein listed as
• 13:03
  Speaker 1: references James Staley, the chief executive of Barclays, who had
• 13:07
  Speaker 1: cultivated a relationship with Epstein while at JP Morgan Chase.
• 13:11
  Speaker 1: Another reference was Andrew Farkas, a New York real estate
• 13:15
  Speaker 1: tycoon and co owner of a marina and office complex
• 13:19
  Speaker 1: on Saint Thomas with Epstein. Spokesmen for both men said
• 13:23
  Speaker 1: they had been unaware they were listed as references, along
• 13:27
  Speaker 1: with JP Morgan and First Bank, a Puerto Rico based
• 13:30
  Speaker 1: lender with branches in the Virgin Islands that long held
• 13:34
  Speaker 1: some of Epstein's accounts. Now, going back and looking at
• 13:37
  Speaker 1: this with hindsight, we all know that Jess Staley is
• 13:41
  Speaker 1: obviously lying here. He knew what was up, and he
• 13:44
  Speaker 1: was helping Epstein every step of the way as far
• 13:47
  Speaker 1: as the financials go. And I called Jeess Staley a
• 13:49
  Speaker 1: liar back then, and I'll continue to call him one now.
• 13:53
  Speaker 1: Dude bullshitted everybody about his relationship with Epstein, and now
• 13:57
  Speaker 1: that shit's boomeranging back around to hit him directly in
• 14:00
  Speaker 1: his head. The application was submitted by Erica Keller Hall's,
• 14:05
  Speaker 1: a long time tax lawyer for Epstein in the Virgin Islands.
• 14:09
  Speaker 1: She did not return requests for comment. Southern Country had
• 14:13
  Speaker 1: not commenced doing business as of April twenty eighteen, according
• 14:17
  Speaker 1: to correspondence between Keller Halls and the territory's banking department.
• 14:22
  Speaker 1: Regulators said the bank was a self reporting company and
• 14:25
  Speaker 1: did not require additional regulatory oversight if it was not operational,
• 14:30
  Speaker 1: but court documents show Southern Country was active for some
• 14:34
  Speaker 1: of last year. If I was JP Morgan, I'd be
• 14:37
  Speaker 1: focusing on this right now. And also if I was
• 14:40
  Speaker 1: the survivors, I'd be zeroing in on the US Virgin Islands.
• 14:44
  Speaker 1: How dare they take money out of my pocket? Take
• 14:47
  Speaker 1: food off my table? That's the way I look at it.
• 14:51
  Speaker 1: Records filed by the estate on Friday indicate the Southern
• 14:54
  Speaker 1: Country had six hundred ninety three thousand, one hundred and
• 14:57
  Speaker 1: fifty seven dollars in assets when Epstein died August tenth.
• 15:02
  Speaker 1: Then in mid December, the estate transferred fifteen and a
• 15:05
  Speaker 1: half million to Southern Country in two zechs Southern Country
• 15:09
  Speaker 1: sent back two point six million, leaving the total it
• 15:11
  Speaker 1: received at twelve point nine million. The documents filed by
• 15:15
  Speaker 1: the estate do not give a reason for the transfers.
• 15:18
  Speaker 1: It is also not clear what Southern Country did with
• 15:21
  Speaker 1: that money. Two weeks later, the year end value of
• 15:24
  Speaker 1: Southern Country's assets was four hundred and ninety nine thousand,
• 15:28
  Speaker 1: seven hundred and fifty nine dollars, according to the estate's filings.
• 15:32
  Speaker 1: So where'd that money go? I guess it just disappeared, right,
• 15:36
  Speaker 1: I guess it's just unaccounted for and fell into a
• 15:38
  Speaker 1: black hole. What really happened is it's in somebody's offshore
• 15:42
  Speaker 1: account and nobody's the wiser for it. The estate has
• 15:46
  Speaker 1: told officials in the Virgin Islands that it does not
• 15:49
  Speaker 1: intend to renew the bank's license again. Around the time
• 15:53
  Speaker 1: the territory granted Epstein as banking license, it also gave
• 15:56
  Speaker 1: a lucrative tax break to Southern Trust, a company Epstein
• 16:00
  Speaker 1: said was developing sophisticated algorithms to mind DNA and financial databases. Boy,
• 16:07
  Speaker 1: that's reassuring. Huh, this idiot wants to mind DNA databases
• 16:11
  Speaker 1: and compile records of people's DNA sounds like a fantastic plan.
• 16:16
  Speaker 1: The tax break came from the territory's Economic Development Authority,
• 16:19
  Speaker 1: which was approved by the territories former governor John DeJong Junior,
• 16:24
  Speaker 1: while his wife, Cecil worked for Epstein. Neither Cecil DeJong
• 16:28
  Speaker 1: nor her husband returned messages seeking comment. Well, of course
• 16:32
  Speaker 1: they won't. They have nothing to say about this. They
• 16:34
  Speaker 1: want to stay under the radar. But I think a
• 16:36
  Speaker 1: big problem here is the fact that the USVII is greedy.
• 16:41
  Speaker 1: That's just what it comes down to. And I think
• 16:43
  Speaker 1: their greed is going to undo them when all is
• 16:46
  Speaker 1: said and done. Because if you think JP Morgan is
• 16:49
  Speaker 1: writing a check to the US Virgin Islands, I have
• 16:52
  Speaker 1: some beachfront property to sell you in the middle of
• 16:54
  Speaker 1: the Nevada Desert. The tax break granted in twenty thirteen
• 16:59
  Speaker 1: was a boon for eepas Southern Trust generated about three
• 17:02
  Speaker 1: hundred million in profit in six years, and he paid
• 17:05
  Speaker 1: an effective tax rate of about three point nine percent.
• 17:09
  Speaker 1: The source of Southern Trust revenue is not clear. The
• 17:12
  Speaker 1: bare bones corporate filings made by the company in the
• 17:15
  Speaker 1: Virgin Islands do not list any clients. That's because it
• 17:19
  Speaker 1: was a money washing stop. That's exactly what It was
• 17:22
  Speaker 1: a place for them to wash up their money and
• 17:25
  Speaker 1: get it sent back out into the financial system, colored
• 17:28
  Speaker 1: up and ready to go. Although the Virgin Islands was
• 17:32
  Speaker 1: long a place where Epstein got his way, it is
• 17:34
  Speaker 1: lately cast itself as one of his victims. In a
• 17:37
  Speaker 1: lawsuit last month, the Attorney General of the Virgin Islands,
• 17:41
  Speaker 1: Denise George, said Epstein had sullied the territory's reputation with
• 17:45
  Speaker 1: his conduct. What about your conduct, Denise George, What about
• 17:48
  Speaker 1: your colleague's conduct? What about Stacey Plaskett? She sued Epstein's estate,
• 17:54
  Speaker 1: seeking to seize as private islands and dissolve what she
• 17:57
  Speaker 1: said were shell companies acting as front for his sex
• 18:00
  Speaker 1: trafficking enterprise. There's a lot of that that's true. But
• 18:04
  Speaker 1: also let's not forget the money laundering aspect of this.
• 18:08
  Speaker 1: A lot of people leave that out because it's not
• 18:10
  Speaker 1: as salacious, but remember that's how you get most of
• 18:13
  Speaker 1: these criminals financial crimes. The suit seeks to intervene in
• 18:17
  Speaker 1: the administration of Epstein's will to safeguard assets for dozens
• 18:21
  Speaker 1: of his victims, claiming the co executors may have a
• 18:25
  Speaker 1: conflict of interest because they were officers in many of
• 18:29
  Speaker 1: Epstein's companies, including Southern Country and Southern Trust. The co executors,
• 18:35
  Speaker 1: Darren Endyke and Richard Kahn, did not return requests for comment. Well,
• 18:39
  Speaker 1: they were part of the whole entire criminal conspiracy and
• 18:43
  Speaker 1: the fact that their skating free and dry here is
• 18:45
  Speaker 1: just unbelievable to me. Herman Purcell, the magistrate judge overseeing
• 18:51
  Speaker 1: the administration of Epstein's will in the US Virgin Islands,
• 18:55
  Speaker 1: heard arguments on the Attorney General's requests at the hearing
• 18:58
  Speaker 1: on Tuesday. The judge said she would issue a ruling
• 19:02
  Speaker 1: at a later date, so we all know that it
• 19:05
  Speaker 1: has progressed from here. But I wanted to go back
• 19:08
  Speaker 1: and talk about this one more time because it's just
• 19:10
  Speaker 1: another receipt to show you what I'm talking about when
• 19:13
  Speaker 1: it comes to the US Virgin Islands and their negligence
• 19:17
  Speaker 1: with Epstein and Jeffrey Epstein's disgusting crimes and the fact
• 19:21
  Speaker 1: that they think they're going to get more money here
• 19:23
  Speaker 1: is absurd to me, and I think it needs to
• 19:26
  Speaker 1: be pointed out that they are not a victim, and
• 19:28
  Speaker 1: in fact, they're an enabler themselves. All right, folks, that's
• 19:33
  Speaker 1: going to do it for this one. All of the
• 19:35
  Speaker 1: information that goes with the episode can be found in
• 19:38
