Representatives of the millionaire financier Jeffrey Epstein, who was convicted of trafficking in underage sex slaves and mysteriously committed suicide in a prison cell, will sell two islands from the Virgin Islands that he owned. This is done for the benefit of its victims, CNN reports.
The people in charge of the deceased’s fortune also supported his estate on Little St. James Island, which he acquired in 1998, and also watched over the Great St. James Island, which Epstein has owned since 2016. They were criticized for delaying payments to victims, which Epstein himself promised after his first sentence. It was noted that the gardeners’ work and the maintenance of helipads are paid on time.
The islands had to be sold after the money ran out. According to CNN, several buyers have already been found for the land.
Earlier it was reported that tens of millions of dollars were paid to his victims from Epstein’s fortune.
Jeffrey Epstein was previously convicted of creating a criminal network that allowed him to sexually exploit and abuse dozens of girls. It is known that among his victims were 14-year-old teenagers. According to some reports, he continued to engage in human trafficking until 2019. The American financier was detained on July 6, 2019 in New York. In August of the same year, he took his own life without waiting for the trial.
Ghislaine Maxwell, the friend of a pedophile millionaire, was arrested at her estate on July 2, 2020. She was charged with six counts of indictment, including forcing minors to travel for illegal sex and perjury. She faces up to 35 years in prison.
