I’d love anyone to tell me what’s so intriguing about St Thomas isle that’s attracting all of Epstein’s clients.

  • only island in USVI with airport
  • infrastructure for yachts
  • cruise ship hub
  • access to drugs
  • world-class beaches
  • deluxe rental estates
  • low taxes

I guess having children for se is a clever business proposition next to such island

Nearly 50,000 people live there. Very few are pedophiles. Even fewer have anything to do with Epstein.

Yeah. And about that much live in my small town. But billionaires aren’t flocking here, either.

Again, what’s the great attraction?

I’m sure it’s a lovely place, but billionaire worth? Such that we could reasonably say billionaires are landing in Saint Thomas for its own purpose and not as a puddle-jump to Epstein’s island? If rich people started flying into the airport down the street from me, my town would be ecstatic, but we’d be curious why. We wouldn’t ask publicly, perhaps, but there’d be talk at the pubs.

e: I have supplements to sell you.
