Southern Trust Company Inc., Epstein-controlled company in US Virgin Islands that received EDC tax exemptions totaling $73.6 million
Southern Trust Company, Inc. (originally incorporated as Financial Informatics, Inc. in 2011) was an Epstein-controlled entity that allegedly defrauded the U.S. Virgin Islands government of over $73 million in tax incentives by falsely claiming to provide 'biomedical and financial informatics' services while actually functioning as a conduit for payments related to Epstein's criminal enterprise.
The company appears in court filings documenting allegations of tax fraud and false statements to the Virgin Islands Economic Development Commission (EDC). Documents show Southern Trust held substantial assets (~$391 million in 2015) and received tax incentives from 2013-2023, including 90% income tax exemption and 100% exemptions from gross receipts, excise, and withholding taxes. The mentions detail allegations that Epstein knowingly made false statements to the EDC about the company's business purpose, concealed material facts, and used the entity to fund his trafficking enterprise rather than perform legitimate informatics services.
