Subject: Epstein labels¶
Based on information provided by FBI SJ employees, CBP employees, and non-governmental employees, local citizens often referred to Epstein’s Little St. James Island as “pedophile island” and his airplane as the “school bus.” In talking to the case team, we have no information to suggest that an FBI or CBP employee observed potential illegal activity and failed to act. More importantly, we have no information to suggest when these labels were established as compared to the timing of the FBI MM investigation and the media reporting of Epstein’s plea agreement in Florida. Specifically, it is possible the public references to Epstein being a pedophile were in response to his plea in Florida.¶
