Court Filing

According to DOJ-released documents indexed by Epstein Exposed, Daphne Wallace appears in 1 case document in the Epstein files.

Daphne Wallace served as a financial and administrative manager in Jeffrey Epstein's U.S. Virgin Islands operations for nearly a decade, from late 2010 through July 5, 2019 -- one day before Epstein's arrest. Her formal title was LSJE Accountant (Little Saint James Enterprises) at Southern Trust Company, Inc., Epstein's USVI-based administrative entity operating from 6100 Red Hook Quarters Suite B3, St. Thomas. Wallace's responsibilities extended far beyond traditional accounting. She managed property operations on both Little Saint James and Great Saint James islands, coordinated vendors and contractors, oversaw construction projects, processed invoices and payroll, arranged travel for contractors and officials, scheduled meetings with USVI government officials including Governor Kenneth Mapp, and coordinated hurricane preparedness logistics. She managed shipping operations via Tropical Shipping for building supplies and oversaw projects ranging from mold remediation to helipad irrigation.

Wallace worked within a defined reporting structure at Southern Trust Company alongside Office Manager Cecile de Jongh (wife of former USVI Governor John de Jongh), Head Accountant Jeanne Brennan, IT Manager Jermaine Ruan, and Project Manager Rich Kahn. Her most frequent email correspondents included Rich Kahn (5,086 shared emails), Epstein himself (5,087), Ann Rodriguez (4,426), and Lesley Groff (1,819). On March 12, 2018, Wallace became an authorized signer on The 2017 Caterpillar Trust, one of Epstein's financial entities at Deutsche Bank, alongside longtime executive assistant Lesley Groff. Despite her signer status, Deutsche Bank records show she received zero direct payments through the bank.

Epstein's final trust, "The 1953 Trust," signed August 8, 2019 -- two days before his death -- named Wallace as beneficiary of $1,000,000 (bequest #26 of 48). Her bequest matched those of her Southern Trust colleagues: Cecile de Jongh (#23), Jeanne Brennan Wiebracht (#24), Jermaine Ruan (#25), and Una Pascal (#38), each receiving $1,000,000. Wallace appears in approximately 14,155 documents in the case file archive, primarily operational emails documenting the daily management of Epstein's island properties. She is referenced in Deutsche Bank account records, the USVI Attorney General's investigation materials, and DOJ EFTA releases.

Background

Daphne Wallace served as a key operational figure in Jeffrey Epstein's U.S. Virgin Islands enterprise for nearly a decade (November 2010 - July 2019). Her formal title was LSJE Accountant (Little Saint James Enterprises) at Southern Trust Company, Inc., operating from 6100 Red Hook Quarters Suite B3 at American Yacht Harbor, St. Thomas.

Her email addresses suggest a possible Harvard Business School affiliation, and Deutsche Bank classified her profession as "Finance" when onboarding her, indicating prior financial industry experience.

Wallace operated within a defined team at Southern Trust Company: Cecile de Jongh (Office Manager, wife of former USVI Governor John de Jongh), Jeanne Brennan (Head/STC Accountant), Jermaine Ruan (IT Manager), and Rich Kahn (Project Manager). She worked alongside on-island operations manager Ann Rodriguez and NY-based executive assistant Lesley Groff.

Epstein Connection

Wallace was deeply embedded in Epstein's operational infrastructure. She managed the day-to-day financial and administrative operations of both Little Saint James and Great Saint James islands. The email archive contains approximately 14,755 emails attributed to Wallace across 10,778 threads (5,355 as sender, 5,644 as direct recipient).

She became an authorized signer on Epstein's 2017 Caterpillar Trust at Deutsche Bank in March 2018, and was named a $1,000,000 beneficiary in his final trust signed two days before his death. Southern Trust Company received a 10-year economic incentive package from the USVI government (2013-2023) including 90% income tax exemption, which the government later alleged involved fraudulent misrepresentations.
