Watch: Puerto Rico in the Epstein files
1:16Narrated from the AI-generated summary of the documents. Numbers reflect the archive at generation time.
Puerto Rico appears in the files mainly through banking and financial records. The strongest cluster is a series of wire-transfer instructions for Jeffrey Epstein's account that send money through FirstBank in San Juan to LSJ, LLC, an entity with a St. Thomas address. The same bank also received a December 2019 federal grand jury subpoena.
Many of the 2,187 documents are financial: 244 financial records and 54 investment records, plus 130 travel records. Most of the substantive hits are wire instructions dated around 2009, each reading "Please wire [amount] from the above account" to "FirstBank, Puerto Rico, 1518 Ponce Deleon Ave, San Juan" for further credit to LSJ, LLC at Red Hook Quarters, St. Thomas. Other records include a Southern District of New York grand jury subpoena addressed to FirstBank Puerto Rico (December 31, 2019), a 2011 wire request to Citibank Puerto Rico for Trane Puerto Rico, Inc. referencing an LSJ invoice, and a Cape Air flight from San Juan to St. Thomas. A large share of the remaining mentions are boilerplate, such as UBS Financial Services Incorporated of Puerto Rico in client agreements, tax disclaimers, and phone roaming notices. There are also bank research emails and a few newsletters to Epstein's Yahoo account, mostly about news events such as Hurricane Maria's aftermath.
Key Highlights
- •A run of wire instructions, each for a different amount and including $10,000, $18,000, $20,000, $24,000, $26,000, $43,000, $50,000, $100,000 and $150,000, directs funds from an Epstein account to FirstBank in San Juan. The funds go on to LSJ, LLC at 6100/6300 Red Hook Quarters, St. Thomas. One instruction names Lafayette Contractors, LLC instead.
- •The wire instructions are the heart of the Puerto Rico connection in the files. The documents show the routing but not the purpose of the payments.
- •A December 31, 2019 letter from the U.S. Attorney's Office for the Southern District of New York to FirstBank Puerto Rico's legal division concerns a grand jury subpoena. This shows investigators later sought records from the bank.
- •A 2011 wire request routes funds through Citibank Puerto Rico for further credit to Trane Puerto Rico, Inc., referencing an "LSJ Inv #".
- •A Cape Air itinerary shows travel from San Juan (SJU) to St. Thomas (STT), a route consistent with the Virgin Islands link.
- •UBS client agreements refer to UBS Financial Services Incorporated of Puerto Rico, and statements carry a note that interest may be exempt from US or Puerto Rico income taxes. These are standard bank wording, not a sign of any particular activity.
- •Ownership charts list entities such as Trump Marks Puerto Rico I LLC. These are corporate-structure listings that mention Puerto Rico only in an entity name.
- •Puerto Rico also appears in context-only material: AT&T phone-bill roaming notices, a U.S. Virgin Islands area analysis, a swim meet report, bank equity research, and newsletters (for example the Washington Post item on the hurricane death toll).
