The disgraced financier’s Caribbean island of human trafficking horrors was originally purchased from Denmark
US President Donald Trump’s bid to acquire Greenland from Denmark echoes another land transaction between the two nations – one that ultimately benefited Jeffrey Epstein.
In 1917, Washington paid Copenhagen $25 million in gold (roughly $633 million today) for part of the West Indies, now known as the US Virgin Islands. The sale included a small island called Little Saint James, which was purchased in 1998 by Epstein, a financier with alleged intelligence ties and extensive connections to global elites, including Trump.
Epstein was disgraced for sexually abusing girls and died in a prison cell while awaiting trial. US authorities maintain he committed suicide.
Notably, the original Virgin Islands sale included a US pledge not to object to Danish “political and economic interests to the whole of Greenland.”
