The NYT And Their Epstein Related Lawsuit Filed Against The USVI EDA
The NYT And Their Epstein Related Lawsuit Filed Against The USVI EDAUpdate: 2025-10-07
Description
In September 2021, the New York Times filed a lawsuit against Wayne Biggs Jr., CEO of the U.S. Virgin Islands’ Economic Development Authority (EDA), and the Virgin Islands government, seeking access to financial and business records tied to Jeffrey Epstein’s activities in the territory. The Times claimed these records were public under local statutes and that transparency was necessary to understand Epstein’s financial footprint in the Virgin Islands and the EDA’s dealings. They argued that Biggs and the government had improperly withheld documents relevant to Epstein’s investments, property dealings, and possible influence in local economic affairs.
The suit represented a broader effort by the press and public interest groups to pierce the veil of secrecy around Epstein’s financial network—especially in jurisdictions where public records laws often clash with powerful private interests. The legal action underscored tensions between government withholding and demands for accountability in investigations related to Epstein’s legacy of abuse, trafficking, and financial mystery.
