Epstein moved millions through mysterious Virgin Islands bank right before arrest
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.
