USVI Delegate Stacey Plaskett (D) has deep ties to Jeffrey Epstein, exposed in Lee Fang's June 2023 article & court docs from USVI vs. JPMorgan lawsuit.
Key Ties:
Worked 2013-2014 at Kellerhals Ferguson Kroblin PLLC, Epstein's tax/lobby firm that secured him $300M+ in improper tax breaks via VI Economic Development Authority (Plaskett previously counsel there; claims "don't recall" working for Epstein entities). Gap on her LinkedIn.
Epstein network funded her 2014 upset congressional win (aides like Cecil de Jongh, Darren Indyke, Lesley Groff donated; Epstein maxed out in 2016/2018).
Personally solicited Epstein: Met him in St. Thomas office & NYC mansion (2018, via Groff - accused recruiter); emailed for fundraiser invites w/ Bloomberg; sought $30K for DCCC (rejected due to his crimes).
2019: Texted Epstein during Cohen hearing (video evidence).
Kellerhals (her ex-boss/intro to Epstein) handled Epstein's wills, island buys, charities, & estate post-death.
Other Context:
2016: Plaskett's nude video leak w/ husband in makeup & child visible; blamed enemies.
2022-23: USVI AG Denise George sues JPMorgan for enabling Epstein (Dec 27); Biden visits USVI (Dec 28); George fired days later (Jan 3).
Plaskett downplays as "unaware" of donations & claims she alone returned funds - contradicted by records (kept >$30K from associates; others also returned money).
