Jeffrey Epstein, who was charged with sex trafficking on Monday, bought Little St. James Island off of St. Thomas more than two decades ago.
, bought Little St. James Island off of St. Thomas more than two decades ago, turning it into a massive compound he routinely visited over the years.. And now staff from the private island have detailed what it was like working for Epstein on his numerous visits.
One former worker said that staffers were required to wear black or white polos when Epstein was in town, and, according to Bloomberg:"Epstein could never catch sight of them."The former staffer said he knew of two security boxes on the island, both located in two of Epstein's offices."The level of secrecy around a steel safe in Epstein's office, in particular, suggested it contained much more than just money, he said.
Many workers told the Associated Press that they had to sign non-disclosure agreements to work for Epstein. One told AP that Epstein once had five boats, and he would transport up to 200 workers a day from St. Thomas to the island for construction work."When he was there, it was keep to yourself and do your thing," the man said of Epstein.
Another odd detail was Epstein's taste for"treasure," which he paid employees for. Epstein would reportedly pay employees hundreds of dollars to bring him old rum bottle and plates found on the island.
