Epstein building compound on Great St. James | News | virginislandsdailynews.com 5/7/19, 9:15 AM Nielsen could not say what specifically the unauthorized work consists of, but said DPNR Commissioner nominee Jean-Pierre Oriol would be available by phone today to answer questions about the situation. Documents on file at the Coastal Zone Management division of DPNR show that Epstein used “Great St. Jim, LLC,” a shell company organized by St. Thomas attorney Erika Kellerhals, to purchase three parcels totaling 80.1 acres from the Danish Kjaer family for $17.5 million on Jan. 18, 2016. The remainder of the island — 12 parcels totaling 81.22 acres — was transferred from another St. Thomas company, GSJ Properties Corp., to Great St. Jim LLC for $5 million on Jan. 21, 2016. While it’s long been rumored that Epstein had purchased Great St. James, for years his name appeared nowhere on publicly available documents listing property ownership of the island. The Daily News requested access to documents contained in Coastal Zone Management permit application files for the island on April 18, and was provided access to those records Monday. The documents show that in 2011, Kellerhals, another attorney in her firm, Gregory Ferguson, and business consultant Brett Geary organized the St. Thomas company Poplar Inc. A certificate of incumbency contained in the file lists Epstein as president of Poplar Inc., his longtime lawyer Darren Indyke is listed as vice president and secretary, and another longtime associate, Richard Kahn, is listed as treasurer. The Daily Beast reported in April that Kellerhals, Indyke, and Kahn are listed as the only officers of other defunct nonprofits run by Epstein, including the C.0.U.Q. Foundation, J. Epstein Virgin Islands Foundation, and Epstein Interests. They’re also listed as officers for Gratitude America Ltd., anonprofit formed in the Virgin Islands in 2012 through which Epstein has made financial contributions to various organizations. The certificate specifically states that those individuals are authorized to act on behalf of the corporation with respect to all transactions, “including but not limited to transactions related to permitting matters submitted on behalf of Great St. Jim, LLC.” http://www.virginislandsdailynews.com/news/epstein-building-compoun...n-great-st-james/article_ a49261e9-40f0-57b1-9501-605e26e74cf3.html Page 2 of 4
