COURTHOUSE,

Jeffrey Epstein has sued the
Government of the US Virgin
Islands, Delegate Stacey
Plaskett and others. Before
U.S. District Court for the
Southern District of New York
Judge Arun Subramanian on
September 30, threshold issues
of jurisdiction were argued.
Inner City Press was there - thread
Judge: You
allege a tortious act, but no
impact in NY?
Plaintiffs'
lawyer: They brought the
injuries back.
Judge: I
understand you allege Jeffery
Epstein sending money from New
York - what's your best case
on jurisdiction?
Plaintiffs'
lawyer: 732 F.3d 161, 2d
Circuit, 2013.
Judge: That seems
different from Mr. Epstein
just payong funds from
NY
Defense: The only
proof of a $50 million loan
from Jeffrey Epstein is an
email-
Plaintiffs'
lawyer: More than 1 email. And
we haven't taken discovery
yet...
The case is Doe
1, et al., v. Government of
the United States Virgin
Islands, et al., 1:23-cv-10301
