Epstein moved millions through mysterious Virgin Islands bank right before arrest

https://archive.ph/z1PtE

Jeffrey Epstein activated a little-used offshore bank he owned in the U.S. Virgin Islands, Southern Country International, moving more than $20 million through it between April and early July. After his death in August 2019, another $25 million flowed through the bank, including millions from unidentified sources, before its balance dropped back below $500,000 by year-end.

The Herald’s reporting provides the first full accounting of how Epstein used his obscure financial institution in the Caribbean ⁠— likely the first of its kind in the U.S. territory.

Searching for Clues in Jeffrey Epstein’s Boyhood

Epstein was a child once, and the picture that emerges from the files, as well as nearly two dozen interviews to amplify the record, contains the fuzzy outlines of his future self: From a young age, Epstein preferred the protective company of a tight group of brainy boys to the rowdy popularity contests of adolescence. In interviews, people who encountered him in childhood called him “aloof,” “standoffish,” “shy,” “arrogant,” “supercilious” and “intense.” Some schoolmates found him so withdrawn that he made no imprint at all.

Naomi Campbell called unfit to run a charity in her appeal against ban

https://www.theguardian.com/fashion/2026/jun/18/naomi-campbell-charity-appeal-trustee-ban

Fashion for Relief, which had raised millions of pounds for anti-poverty projects through a series of glitzy high-profile fashion events hosted by Campbell, was wound up in March 2024 after managers sent in by the commission found it was insolvent.

Not related to her Epstein affilliation per se but it's par for the course and Fashion for Relief was founded in 2005 so likely there was some sort of crossover --

The Untold Story of Jeffrey Epstein’s Death

I gifted this -- if you don't see it -- I'm not the NYT and not responsible for their paywalls

“Oh, this is bad,” he said aloud as he was booked into federal custody. “This is really bad.”

An F.B.I. agent and a detective took Epstein to the Metropolitan Correctional Center, a federal jail in Lower Manhattan, shortly after 9 that night. The newly arrived inmate caught the eye of a jail employee named Elba Torres as she passed his cell. Epstein appeared “distraught, sad and a little confused,” Torres reported in an email to the jail staff. When she asked him if he was OK, he replied that he was. “But I am not convinced because he seems dazed and withdrawn,” she wrote. “So just to be on the safe side and prevent any suicidal thoughts can someone from Psychology come and talk with him.”

Trump insider accused of helping recruit pivotal figure in Epstein network

Sarah Kellen told members of the House Oversight Committee last month that she was working as a host at the W Hotel in Honolulu in 2001 when she was recruited to work for Epstein and his partner Ghislaine Maxwell. A woman working as an intern at the hotel’s front desk befriended her and told her about the opportunity.

Kellen told the committee that Epstein had helped get the woman, whose name is redacted from an interview transcript, an internship at the W “because he was friends with Tom Barrack," who owned the hotel.

This agent sent models to meet Jeffrey Epstein. Now he’s trying to explain why.

worse and worse

"The emails were often crude and sexualized, even if the purpose of the introduction was not explicitly stated. A Swedish modeling scout, for example, messaged about his efforts to find teen girls for Epstein. A Russian model told Epstein by email that another woman would “be very easy” if he told her that she too had potential to become a model. Others sent messages to Epstein describing models he could meet, promising to send photos."

Republican claims Trump's top law enforcement official blames Epstein's victims

https://www.alternet.org/epstein-victims-doj-2676988697/#

After mentioning that Trump’s acting attorney general, Todd Blanche, appeared before Congress earlier in the day and was asked about Epstein, CNN anchor Jake Tapper asked Rep. Madeleine Dean (R-PA) about her private conversation with Blanche after their public interaction before the House of Representatives.

“He actually did blame the victims — to me, to my face,” Dean told Tapper about Blanche. “When I said, 'When are you going to begin the prosecutions?' Because after all, we have one dead guy and we have a lady in a summer camp, and that's it — for more than a thousand children, girls and women who were trafficked, raped, and sexually assaulted by Epstein and the other perpetrators. And you know what he said to me at the Department of Justice, privately, just between us? He blamed the victims.”

Dean quoted Blanche saying “'Well, they didn't give us the names’” before saying that America’s top prosecutor should investigate more fully rather than simply let it rest at that.
