"We were just trying to look at pretty fish ... and here we are in the middle of an FBI raid," said Kelly Quinn, the owner of Salty Dog Day Sails.
FBI agents raided Jeffrey Epstein's private island in the Caribbean on Monday in a vivid display that the probe into his alleged sex trafficking ring is continuing despite his death.
A swarm of federal agents was seen fanning out across Little St. James in golf carts about 10:30 a.m.
"We were just trying to look at pretty fish and swim with turtles and here we are in the middle of an FBI raid," said Kelly Quinn, the owner of Salty Dog Day Sails, who was running a sailing charter in the area.
"This has been something on our radar for years," Quinn added. "We're all really curious why it's happening now."
Two senior law enforcement officials briefed on the investigation confirmed that the FBI launched a search of Epstein's private island home off the coast of St. Thomas in the U.S. Virgin Islands.
The search was directed by the Epstein task force led by the U.S. attorney's office for the Southern District of New York, the officials said.
A spokesperson for the U.S. Attorneys Office declined to comment.

Evidence, what evidence. Take a hike!
Are they in full SWAT regalia? Probably get erections every time they put on all that macho gear.
But even then we have to ask are they collecting evidence or destroying evidence?
Don't be surprised when it's reported the evidence has gone missing.
That's coming next.
“FBI agents swarm Jeffrey Epstein’s private Caribbean island..”
Probably hoping to find a treasure trove of porn for their private collections.
Scrub, you mean like with a cloth?
Where are the Women’s Groups? Children were bought and sold. Oh, SOCIALISTS do not give a damn.
“Uh, we had some evidence, but it accidentally fell off the boat.”
Ya mean....wipe it with a cloth ?
“We locked the barn door!”
After the horse left and died of old age.
Given the rumors about what went on in that island, let's hope it's only the macho gear arousing them.
Top men!
They’re looking for bodies
And, if the FIB does find bodies you can bet they will be properly disposed of, without a trace. The Monster cannot be exposed or stopped. The Government....too big to fail.
TIA!

They spent years looking for a non-existent Trump-Russia conspiracy. In this case I wonder how many days will pass before they declare no evidence was found, case closed.
Yeah this is hysterical. Now they REALLY got epstein right where they want him.
They’ll lock up his ashes for 50 years
Nothing to see here.
And will be searching the beaches as long as it takes, which could be years.
You can bet they're after anything on Trump with New York involved.

He also reported that FBI had already executed a previous warrant there weaks ago, which would seem to dispell the rumors that they waited until weeks after his arrest to look at his Island. This appears to be a second raid. Gotta wonder what they are looking for.
