Our taxes money bought the island so that our politicians and world leaders could be blackmailed

He was embezzling money from the whales he was dealing with. He had dirt on them so they shut up, let him keep the money, and kept banging teen girls on the island he bought with their money. He was once told of a guy that had 600 million for him to invest. He said that was to small, waste of his time.

even then, that is still f*ck you money that only the very 1% of 1% in that profession have.
The explanation would be that he was in the 1% of the 1%. You had the explanation in your question.

He somehow convinced Leslie Wexner(Victoria Secret founder) to hand over control of all his assets. I wish I could have been a fly on the wall to hear that blackmail, I mean conversation.

Do you believe the poster who said he bought it for $7.5 million? That’s not a ton of money.

There are a lot of islands in the Carribbean. I probably can't afford one but I bet there are a ton of apartments in NYC that cost more than his island.
There may well be some condos in NYC that cost more than Little St James Island, but if you are trying to minimize or normalize the amount of wealth it takes to buy, improve, and maintain that kind of real estate - GTFOH

He was supposedly very charming.
Certain people just have the ability to weasel their way up the ladder.
And yeah the island purchase itself wasn’t that much in the grand scheme.

I definitely did not take that as your point. Don’t really see how anyone would.
Posted on 7/25/25 at 11:25 pm to Nevada_Tiger
The point was that a private Carribbean island isn't THAT expensive. I don't see any other way a literate person could have taken it. It's nothing like a high end apt in NYC.

Yeah I bet the real estate itself isn’t the biggest expense. That would be the construction and materials (imagine the marked up cost across the board), and the expense of delivering it to the job site. Then insurance and upkeep, maintenance and staff over the long haul is probably a pretty penny.

Epstein was either a Mossad blackmail op that the CIA was aware of or it was a joint venture. To believe otherwise one must suspend disbelief on a wedding cakes worth of layers. Its no "conspiracy theory"

Um well what about funds derived from said blackmail possibly being a source of funding itself? And it’s not like he didn’t have ample disposable cash on hand. Plus how much extra expense is it to add folks to a party that’s already going on anyway? I’m not arguing for or against anything in particular, just spitballing.

In just 4 years Epstein made partner at Bears Stearns. I imagine Lex demanded that only Epstein could handle his portfolio

I get what you’re saying, the part I question is him going from a community college math teacher to an extremely wealthy financier overnight.

The first move is the hardest to figure out. My guess is that he was aware of what was going on in the pedo world and had some dirt on Barr that he was able to use to get started. Barr apparently wrote a book with pedo vibes, was ex CIA and was the head of a school. These guys must run in undercover circles. That’s the only explanation for a college drop out getting a teaching job.
This was his springboard into Sterns and eventually the power brokers he ended up with. He leaned into any of them with pedo tendencies and was able to leverage that into them giving him money. It may not have even been traditional blackmail….he was obviously a slick likeable dude and he was their supplier.
