Jeffrey Epstein investigated the possibility of purchasing a newspaper in the U.S. Virgin Islands in 2013. The publication was owned by Times-Shamrock Communications, which also owned The Times-Tribune at the time. This information was revealed in files recently released by the federal government.
The documents provide insight into Epstein’s business activities beyond his more widely known ventures. The potential acquisition did not come to fruition.
**Why this matters**
Understanding Epstein’s business dealings helps provide a fuller picture of his financial and personal networks. The involvement with a media outlet raises questions about his interests in controlling or influencing information channels.
