Prosecutors are attempting to intervene in the lawsuit Maxwell filed against Epstein's estate earlier this year, seeking to block her demand for reimbursement of the legal, security and relocation expenses that she says she incurred as a result of what she claims were wrongful accusations of her alleged involvement in Epstein's alleged crimes.

"If Maxwell succeeds on her undocumented and suspect claims for indemnification by the Epstein Estate," prosecutors wrote, "that will threaten the availability of Estate funds to satisfy the Government's potential judgment in its lawsuit against the estate."

Epstein first acquired property in the U.S. Virgin Islands in 1998, purchasing Little St. James, an island off the east coast of St. Thomas, for about $8 million. He then spent millions of dollars developing an elaborate estate, with a main house, swimming pool, helipad and guest villas overlooking the Caribbean Sea. Starting in 2010, Epstein made the island his permanent residence and established a host of vaguely-named corporations in the territory to run his business, charitable and personal affairs. He would later, through a series of separate transactions totaling more than $20 million, complete the purchase of a larger, neighboring island called Great St. James.

In January, Attorney General George filed a civil enforcement action against Epstein's estate, its co-executors and several of his corporate entities, alleging that Epstein, through his network of companies and associates, "trafficked, raped, sexually assaulted and held captive underage girls and young women at his properties in the Virgin Islands." The government also filed criminal activity liens against all of Epstein's properties and companies, which had the effect of freezing virtually all of the estate's assets worldwide while the case is ongoing.

"Mr. Epstein had a lot of companies, a web of companies that worked together in different ways … but it was in such a way that concealed a lot of his criminal activity," George told ABC News in an interview in St. Thomas in February. "And so it is a rather complex case, and we are continuously investigating to get the full picture."

Ghislaine better start talking.

I think the Statute of Limitations has run out. She left the Virgin Islands behind a long, long time ago.

“George”? Seems reporters are getting a bit informal these days.

The Virgin Island territory's Attorney General's name is Denise George.

“The Virgin Island territory’s Attorney General’s name is Denise George.”

Stupid name.

[JohnG45]

Stupid name.

Easy to confuse.

I can't count the number of times I screwed up the name of that guy in Minneapolis who died while being arrested - George Floyd.

Wait!? Was it George Floyd or Floyd George? I'll have to look it up again.

Court TV tonight stated there may be an effort to transfer an immunity agreement Maxwell had in Florida to her current trial location, to get her out.
