Court filings show how Jeffrey Epstein exerted power in the US Virgin Islands, two of which he owned.
A financier worth hundreds of millions of dollars, Epstein owned two islands in the US Virgin Islands (there are roughly 50 islands overall).
He had donated generously to Democratic politicians from the US Virgin Islands for years.
With the assistance of the US Virgin Islands' first lady, Epstein navigated the territory's political waters unscathed.
The court records show that, at least in the US Virgin Islands, he exerted influence with little friction.
