It would make sense for Epstein to want high-level protection from local police interest. And be able to pay for it.
The islands have a GDP of just $4B. A bunch of wealthy people can buy the political infrastructure cheaply.
However, JPM has a lot more money than Epstein ever had. If they want to hire private detectives and find out what was really going on, they can.
I was very sad to hear about the untimely death of Cecile de Jongh next week.
