The island was Epstein’s primary residence,[4][14] and he called the island “Little St. Jeff”.

In April 1998, a company called L.S.J. LLC purchased the island for $7.95 million, and documents showed that Jeffrey Epstein was the sole member of L.S.J

      280000 square meters of prime real estate, with palm gardens, mountains and tropical climate.

      and bad memories, bad reputation and generally bad juju.

      If I owned the place, I’d sell it quick: I just don’t know how I could be there and enjoy it, knowing who was there and what they did.

          No but… Would you want to be known as the owner / inhabitant of Epstein Island? Would you enjoy staying there knowing its past?

          The island doesn’t give a shit. But you and other people might.

            yep, and Wikipedia lists the owner, who bought this island, so someone did not give a shit, as you say.

            In March 2022, Little Saint James and the neighboring Great Saint James were listed at $125 million. A lawyer for Epstein’s estate stated that the money obtained from the sale would be used to settle a number of lawsuits.

            So now they use the money obtained through the sale to defend Ghislaine Maxwell?

            In May 2023, billionaire Stephen Deckoff, under his firm SD Investments, announced the acquisition of the Great St. James and Little St. James islands for $60 million.

            They could buy it for cheaper than the listing price, why?

        Bad juju? LOL

        I hope so many people feel the same way that it comes up for sale so cheap I can afford it. What happened previously on a chunk of Earth is irrelevant to me. Many years ago, I got a discount on renting an apartment because someone was murdered there. I didn’t GAF, I was happy for the discount.

    I’m an American. Can you please translate this into either football fields or parking lots?
