The Caribbean island, infamous as the site of the disgraced financier’s human trafficking abuses, was initially acquired from Denmark.
Former US President Donald Trump’s attempt to purchase Greenland from Denmark mirrors a prior territorial deal between the countries—a deal that later proved advantageous to Jeffrey Epstein.
In 1917, the United States paid Denmark $25 million in gold (equivalent to approximately $633 million today) for a portion of the West Indies, today called the US Virgin Islands. This transaction encompassed a minor island named Little Saint James, which financier Jeffrey Epstein bought in 1998. Epstein had reported intelligence links and a wide network among the world’s powerful, including Trump.
Epstein faced disgrace for sexually assaulting minors and died in his jail cell pending trial. Official US reports state his death was a suicide.
It is significant that the initial Virgin Islands purchase agreement contained a US commitment not to challenge Danish “political and economic interests to the whole of Greenland.”
