Epstein files include references to Greenville businesses. Here’s what we found

Buried among the millions of pages released by the Department of Justice involving Jeffrey Epstein are dozens of emails involving Greenville companies.

They are not allegations of wrongdoing, but invoices and other information on work done on Epstein’s aircraft, payments for trips he took in borrowed aircraft and work done on a St. Thomas marina Epstein owned with Andrew Farkas, a New York real estate investor whose Island Capital Group has a location in Greenville.

There is also a report on an interview with Greenville native Martin Anthony Jackson, who was described by the FBI as providing security for Ghislaine Maxwell at her home in New Hampshire.

Jackson, a former member of the British Army, told the FBI he was paid $330 a day in May 2020. He told them he understood Maxwell had been at the location since 2019 and never left the property.

He ran errands for her in a Ford F-150 and that there were no weapons on the property as far as he knew.

The FBI considered the July 2, 2020 interview to have no intelligence value.

Maxwell was found guilty of child sex trafficking and other offenses in 2021 in connection with Epstein and sentenced to 20 years in prison.

There was also an email included in the first batch of Epstein releases in which a Greenville woman who describes herself as being in the pageant and modelling industry wanting to see him while she’s in New York.

The email now included in the Epstein files deleted the woman’s location. Epstein responds, “send photos.”

She does a few months later but writes saying she is married and has a child.

There are a number of emails in which Epstein is billed for using Farkas’ helicopter in 2016 to go from his home in New York City to Brad College with Karyna Shuliak and two others whose names have been blacked out.

Shuliak is a 36-year-old dentist from Belarus who is described as Epstein’s last girlfriend. She was named in a trust signed days before his 2019 death in which she was bequeathed $100 million, the bulk of his estate.

The invoice was for $13,719.64 and paid for by Hyperion Air, with a memo on the check saying Island Capital Group.

There was a quote for service to Epstein’s Gulfstream jet from Steven’s Aviation in Greenville for $358,000. Steven’s is located at the South Carolina Technology & Aviation Center.

Epstein responded, “I don’t think we have a choice.”

Other emails involved hurricane damage in 2017 to roofs at American Yacht Harbor.

Farkas has said Epstein was a passive investor in the project. Epstein’s estate sold his share in Island Global Yachting in 2021 and Farkas sold the company for $480 million in 2022.

The email exchange about roof damage said Epstein favored blue as a roof color.
