> The court case that revealed much of this information is the lawsuit between J.P. Morgan Chase and the Virgin Islands government. In a filing last month, the bank's lawyers accused the Virgin Islands government of facilitating Epstein's criminal enterprise.

> The records submitted to federal court suggest Kellerhals, Plaskett’s former employer, was at the center of a sprawling influence network designed to keep Epstein’s tax liabilities low and his political influence high.

> The Financial Trust Company, Epstein’s primary business enterprise, listed Kellerhals as its primary contact, while she and other Epstein associates pressed the Virgin Islands government for lucrative tax exemptions, including an exemption on gross receipts, business property, and excise taxes.

> Several charities founded by Epstein were also registered or maintained by Kellerhals, including Gratitude America, Ltd., which he used to funnel money to his elite allies and buy influence. Kellerhals also handled a 2011 deed transfer that gave Epstein full ownership of the opulent home in Manhattan once owned by Les Wexner – the same home where Plaskett met Epstein to solicit a DCCC donation. Epstein is accused of using the building, a sprawling seven-story residency, to molest underage girls. In 2016, Kellerhals assisted Epstein with purchasing Great St. James Island, adding another island to his primary residence in Little St. James Island, at which he is accused of trafficking and raping women and young girls.
