Former prosecutor and legal analyst Kristy Greenberg sounded the alarm about an investigation in the Virgin Islands into trafficker Jeffrey Epstein. The probe was shuttered, however, by the governor personally, and there is no record of the information uncovered in any of the Epstein files released by the Justice Department.
In her video, Greenberg makes it clear, "The DOJ says there's no credible evidence to investigate Epstein's associates. As a former SDNY criminal division deputy chief who prosecuted sex trafficking cases, I disagree."
Greenberg explained that in 2023, former Virgin Islands Attorney General Denise George went to the FBI with what Greenberg said were "explosive claims." It all began in January of 2020 when George began her lawsuit against the Epstein estate.
"She alleged that Epstein's lawyer and accountant were participants in Epstein's human trafficking operation," she continued. George alleges that the governor tried to shut her down. `
"She told the FBI that she had the goods in her case files. She even told the FBI where it was and how to get it. So, here's the question," Greenberg continued, "did the FBI follow up on George's complaint or ignore it?"
As an attorney general, even a U.S. territory, she would be taken seriously as a source of information about a crime. But according to Greenberg, there's no document in the Epstein files that even mentions George.
Among the evidence she found was trafficking activity over 140 bank accounts connected to Epstein. She went after billionaire Leon Black, JPMorganChase and the Epstein estate, scoring $200 million+ in settlements.
"She fought the rich and powerful all while facing intense pressure to back down," Greenberg went on. "Days after George filed the lawsuit against JPMorgan, the U.S. Virgin Islands governor fired her."
That's when George began speaking out. She was threatened with a cease and desist letter. A strange man showed up at her home, but she still went to the FBI.
When George began, she faced off against an Epstein lawyer who said that all staff were forced to sign nondisclosure agreements (NDAs).
"Epstein was dead at this point, so why was his U.S. Virgin Islands-based lawyer snooping around about George's investigation?" Greenberg asked.
Gov. Albert Bryan Jr. went from telling George that Epstein was dead and she could "go for it" on the investigations. Once her investigation began, however, that shifted. He started calling her with questions about why she was looking into specific things and interviewing certain people.
"I can't get you to let this go?" Gov. Bryan asked George.
Greenberg said Bryan's questions didn't make sense until you follow the money. Darren Indyke — a former executor for Jeffrey Epstein's estate — testified to Congress behind closed doors that Epstein convinced him that the abuse was a "one-time thing" and that he never knew she was underage. Richard Kahn — Epstein's longtime accountant — also testified before Congress in early March and swore he never saw anything.
Rep. James Walkinshaw (D-Va.) said Epstein’s trafficking operation “would not have been possible without Richard Kahn.” Walkinshaw told reporters he didn't find Kahn's claims credible, wondering if he was “willfully ignorant," NBC News reported.
"Indyke and Kahn signed trust checks for combined value of over $1,000,000 made out personally to young women or their associated entities," the court cases say.
One account, the two men doled out over $2.5 million to women with Eastern European surnames. They claimed it was "hotel expenses, tuition and rent, and to, again, the immigration lawyer in New York who was involved in one or more forced marriages arranged among Epstein's victims to secure victims' immigration status," court documents of George's allegations show.
"When it comes to the allegations around the money being moved," George said "Defendants Indyke and Kahn participated with Epstein in coercing his sex trafficking victims, in at least three cases, to enter into arranged and forced marriages in order to obtain immigration status for the foreign women so that they could continue to be available to Epstein for his abuse," the documents continue.
Kahn personally gave a letter of reference for at least one immigration application and tax services to the spouses. "And Defendant Indyke paid the immigration lawyer who applied for citizenship for the women and threatened at least one who indicated that she would seek a divorce."
But when Indyke testified before Congress, he maintained he knew nothing.
