The New York Times  Targets The USVI With An Epstein Related Lawsuit

The New York Times Targets The USVI With An Epstein Related Lawsuit

In 2023, The New York Times filed a lawsuit against the U.S. Virgin Islands Economic Development Authority after the agency refused to release records related to Jeffrey Epstein and the substantial tax benefits he received while living in the territory. The Times sought documents detailing Epstein’s participation in the USVI’s Economic Development Commission program, which granted him sweeping tax exemptions and incentives for years, even after serious allegations about his conduct were known. The lawsuit argued that the EDA improperly withheld public records that could shed light on how Epstein was vetted, approved, and allowed to retain those benefits.

The legal action highlighted broader questions about government transparency and accountability in the Virgin Islands, where officials have faced criticism for enabling Epstein’s financial operations while failing to intervene in his criminal behavior. The EDA contended that some records were protected by confidentiality provisions, but the Times countered that public interest outweighed those claims, particularly given Epstein’s role in one of the most significant sex-trafficking scandals in modern history. The lawsuit became part of a wider effort by journalists and investigators to uncover how Epstein leveraged government programs and institutional secrecy to protect his wealth—and how local authorities handled warnings that, in hindsight, should have triggered far greater scrutiny.
