In the months leading up to Jeffrey Epstein’s arrest on federal sex trafficking charges on July 6, 2019, a small U.S. Virgin Islands bank he owned that had employed no one and laid dormant for years suddenly came alive.

A flurry of transactions totaling more than $20 million passed through the bank named Southern Country International from April to early July that year, according to a Miami Herald investigation based on the recently released documents by the U.S. Justice Department.

And months after the disgraced financier was found dead in a Manhattan detention facility on Aug. 10, an additional $25 million was moved through Southern Country, with roughly a quarter of that amount coming from unspecified sources.

    … there is a small difference between ‘a mysterious bank’ and ‘a mysterious bank that you solely own and operate’.

    Quite literally there was a Bank Of Jeffery Epstein.

    A private bank in the typical sense is one thing… a private bank in the sense of a personal bank?

    …Oh boy.
