In January 2023, billionaire financier Leon Black agreed to pay $62.5 million to the U.S. Virgin Islands (USVI) to settle potential legal claims related to the territory's investigation into Jeffrey Epstein's sex-trafficking activities. This settlement followed a subpoena issued by the USVI government in January 2021, which sought all communications between Black and Epstein since 1998, as well as information about Black's visits to Epstein's private island, Little St. James. The agreement released Black from any current and future legal claims by the USVI concerning Epstein.

Black's representatives emphasized that the settlement does not imply any admission of wrongdoing or knowledge of Epstein's criminal activities. They stated that Black had engaged Epstein for legitimate financial advisory services, which he now regrets. The settlement includes a provision that $15 million of the payment will be allocated to a trust fund supporting counseling programs and mental health services in the USVI. This agreement is part of the USVI's broader efforts to address and remediate the impacts of Epstein's actions within the territory.

The United States Virgin Islands have made out quite well for themselves when it comes to collecting money from Jeffrey Epstein's estate and others involved in Epstein's crimes and activities and now we are learning that they have added another 62.5 million dollars to the pot after it was revealed that Leon Black paid them off so that he would be released from all Epstein related lawsuits moving forward.

Meanwhile, nobody has been arrested in the USVI and there is no (known) criminal case working its way through the system.
