Here's the translation into American English:



I came across this fact — do you know how much Epstein's island cost when it was purchased? Only $7.95 million, and that was back in 1998. Sounds cheap for such a place, right? But then the story took a very different turn.

Little St. James is 72 acres of land just two miles from St. Thomas. It seems like an ordinary island in the U.S. Virgin Islands. But over time, villas, pools, statues, docks — in short, all this luxury appeared there. And Epstein's island earned its sad nicknames: "Island of Sin," "Epstein Island."

The most disturbing part of this story is that, according to the prosecutor's office and victims, the place was used for human trafficking and assaults on minors. It is said that helicopters transported girls between St. Thomas and this very island. Honestly, it's creepy.

What happened next? The price skyrocketed — by 2019, Epstein's island was valued at over $63 million. And in 2023, it was sold to an investor who plans to develop a luxury resort there. It sounds strange, but that’s the reality.

Later, Epstein's estate agreed to pay over $105 million in settlements with authorities. Recently published photos and videos from the island have once again brought public attention. The island remains, but the questions are even more pressing.
