Very interesting... but where are the details???

 

It seems that visitors to Jeffery Epstein's island may not have been as anonymous as they might wish.

NEARLY 200 MOBILE devices of people who visited Jeffrey Epstein’s notorious “pedophile island” in the years prior to his death left an invisible trail of data pointing back to their own homes and offices. Maps of these visitations generated by a troubled international data broker with defense industry ties, discovered last week by WIRED, document the numerous trips of wealthy and influential individuals seemingly undeterred by Epstein’s status as a convicted sex offender.

The data amassed by Near Intelligence, a location data broker roiled by allegations of mismanagement and fraud, reveals with high precision the residences of many guests of Little Saint James, a United States Virgin Islands property where Epstein is accused of having groomed, assaulted, and trafficked countless women and girls.

Some girls, prosecutors say, were as young as 14. The former attorney general of the US Virgin Islands alleged that girls as young as 12 were trafficked to Epstein by those within his elite social circle.

The coordinates that Near Intelligence collected and left exposed online pinpoint locations to within a few centimeters of space. Visitors were tracked as they moved from the Ritz-Carlton on neighboring St. Thomas Island, for instance, to a specific dock at the American Yacht Harbor—a marina once co-owned by Epstein that hosts an “impressive array” of pleasure boats and mega-yachts. The data pinpointed their movements as they were transported to Epstein’s dock on Little St. James, revealing the exact routes taken to the island.

The tracking continued after they arrived. From inside Epstein's enigmatic waterfront temple to the pristine beaches, pools, and cabanas scattered across his 71-acres of prime archipelagic real estate, the data compiled by Near captures the movements of scores of people who sojourned at Little St. James as early as July 2016. The recorded surveillance concludes on July 6, 2019—the day of Epstein’s final arrest.

Unfortunately, the article does not identify any of the devices by its owner.  I don't know why not - I mean, it's not as if they're alleging that the owners of those devices actually did anything illegal, immoral or fattening, is it?  All they could say with any certainty is that on a given date, that device - presumably in the possession of its owner - was on Epstein's island, and took a known, traceable route to and from the island.  That's not actionable in any way . . . at least, not yet.

One suspects that the owners of those devices have already taken steps to destroy them and "fudge" the records, to suggest that a subordinate or an employee was actually using them at the time.  I'd love to have been a fly on the wall to listen to the panicked conversations when the Wired article was first published.

It's a complete and utter disgrace that not a single name from Epstein's "little black book" has been published so far.  The authorities have been in possession of the names of visitors to his island for years - in some cases, decades.  Their refusal to release them strongly suggests as much of a cover-up as claims that Epstein committed suicide in prison.  (If you believe the latter, I have this bridge to sell you in Brooklyn, NYC.  It's a real bargain!  Cash only, please, and in small used bills.)

Despite this official intransigence, I hope that the names will one day become known.  One hopes against hope that it will be soon enough to make it possible to bring any guilty parties to justice.
