Investigation: Epstein Online Citations — Research Bank & Future Dossiers
TL;DR: Living citation bank for the Epstein cluster — documented anchors (islands, Pacific lanes, blackmail threads, DOJ releases, intelligence lore, OT comparatives) plus a roadmap of next investigations we can run. Key finding (Feb 2026): RNZ Pacific analysis documents Tahiti, Bora Bora, Fiji, Palau yacht thread in DOJ releases — no Pitcairn hit in preliminary index pass (Q3 partial answer). Cross-read island archipelago, 9/11 blackmail.

1. Future investigations queue

| P0 | Pacific lane map (Tahiti ↔ USVI ↔ Palau) | RNZ 2026 DOJ pass; “girl from Tahiti” emails | §4 |
| P0 | USVI CICO complaint forensics | House panel 2025 subpoena to VI gov; settlement docs | §2 |
| P1 | Necker / BVI private-island graph | Branson “harem” email; helicopter Little St James offer | §3 |
| P1 | Acosta “belonged to intelligence” chain | NSA vs CIA pillar; NPA 2008 | §6 |
| P1 | Gates blackmail rehearsal emails | DOJ draft notes — blackmail not theoretical | §6 |

| P2 | Zorro Ranch vs island stack | 2026 search, truth commission, federal pause 2019 | §8 |
| P2 | DOJ release forensics (privilege withholds) | EFTA §3 report — what categories withheld | §7 |
| P3 | Flight log / manifest crosswalk | justice.gov/epstein searchable DB | §10 |
| P3 | Maxwell proffer + island logistics | BOP materials in EFTA production | Island dossier |
Article plan: flagship plan — Installment II maps to death, 9/11, bloodline dossiers already open.
2. Caribbean / USVI island citations
| Claim | Tier | Source |
| Little St James + Great St James = Epstein USVI bases; trafficking 2001–2019; victims as young as 12; 15-year-old swim escape attempt | A | CNN Mar 2026 island review |
| USVI CICO complaint: forced labor, passport confiscation, server removal before searches | A | USVI AG civil complaint summary; DOJ disclosures index |
| $105M settlement + half Little St James sale proceeds + $450k Great St James environmental remediation (razed enslaved-worker structures) | A | USVI DOJ Nov 2022; CNBC |
| VI AG never opened local criminal probe pre-2019 despite civil allegations | B | Virgin Islands Daily News — House panel seeks VI Epstein files |
| Great St James purchased 2016 as privacy buffer | A | CNN Mar 2026 |
Investigator read: Indigenous/historical layer on Great St James (enslaved structure destruction) rhymes with imperial OT pattern — not legal equation with Pitcairn, same “private development erases prior bodies” grammar.
3. BVI — Necker / Branson thread
| Claim | Tier | Source |
| Epstein visited Necker Island 2013; Branson email: “bring your harem” | A | BBC Jan 2026 files tranche; Observer |
| Epstein offered helicopter to Little St James (~60 mi) | B | Yahoo/Telegraph reporting |
| Necker ~100 mi from Little St James — two private-island ecologies | C | Epstein islands archive context |
| No criminal allegations against Branson in released files | A | BBC; Virgin spokesperson quotes |
Archipelago thesis support: Documented multi-island social graph in same sea — distinct ownership, shared jurisdiction-hopping lane.
4. Pacific lanes — Tahiti, Bora Bora, Palau
Source: RNZ — “The girl from Tahiti”: Pacific Islands in the Epstein files (Feb 2026); mirror Te Ao Māori News.
| Finding | Tier | Notes |
| Tahiti in emails re young females; Steve Tisch / “girl from Tahiti” thread | B | Context needed per email — not automatic trafficking proof |
| Epstein French Polynesia visits 2005–2017; Bora Bora bank statements | A | DOJ-released financial records per RNZ |
| Maxwell in Tahiti 2009 (emails) | A | Post-conviction timeline relevance |
| Fiji Water / Yaqara obsession in files | B | Offshore / brand lane |
| 2021–2022 FBI thread: “Epstein’s yacht” in Palau; Russian oligarch haven tip | C | Post-death reach |
| Pitcairn in preliminary DOJ pass | D — not found | Does not falsify author Pitcairn class thesis; needs justice.gov full-text search |
Cross-read: Pitcairn §8 — Tahitian lineage on Pitcairn ≠ Epstein Tahiti emails, but Pacific recruitment geometry worth mapping.
5. Pitcairn — Operation Unique + OT comparative
| Claim | Tier | Source |
| Operation Unique — 96+ charges, generations of abuse, six convicted 2004 | A | LATimes 2004; NPR/Kathy Marks |
| Vanity Fair — 27-month inquiry, 100+ allegations, 31 men, culture predating 2004 | A | VF Jan 2008 — Trouble in Paradise |
| Farran (2007) — re-colonising legal machinery; Operation Unique from 1999 complaints | A | VUW Law Review |
| Mainstream frame: local male offenders, not documented elite visitor network in these sources | A | Hold contradiction with author network hypothesis |
Next OT comparative pulls: Chagos (Diego Garcia jurisdiction), Cayman financial shells in Epstein emails, Falklands OT governance — no dossier yet.
6. Blackmail & intelligence citations
| Claim | Tier | Source |
| Acosta told Trump transition he was told Epstein “belonged to intelligence” — leave alone | B (second-hand) | Daily Beast / TPM; Daily Beast original |
| Acosta 2019 dodged intelligence asset question — DOJ guidelines | A | Washington Examiner |
| Acosta 2025 House testimony denied making statement | A | The Nation on CIA ties |
| Gates — Epstein draft emails rehearsed blackmail; “veiled threats” via adviser | A | ABC News Gates panel |
| DOJ EFTA §3 report — no credible evidence Epstein blackmailed prominent individuals | A (official) | DOJ Section 3 Report |
Author read: Official denial + Gates drafts + Acosta lore = classic two-truth board — see island §7.
7. DOJ Transparency Act & redaction failures
| Claim | Tier | Source |
| ~3.5M pages Jan 30 2026; 6M identified, withholds continue | A | DOJ press / EFTA letters |
| 100+ survivors named; thousands of redaction failures | A | NBC News; ABC |
| Nude images remained online days after outcry | A | BBC Verify |
| DOJ blamed human/technical error; 0.1% pages affected (DOJ claim) | B | BBC takedown story |
Media embargo thesis support: Transparency theater can harm victims without burning client graph — Bondi arc island §8.
8. Zorro Ranch — 2026 truth commission
| Claim | Tier | Source |
| Mar 2026 NM DOJ search — K-9, drones | A | CNN; NM DOJ release |
| Bipartisan Truth Commission — subpoena power; $2.5M; reports Jul/Dec 2026 | A | NBC News |
| 2019 state probe paused at federal request — no charges | A | CNN |
| FBI never raided ranch (unlike NYC / LSJ) | A | Wikipedia — sourced |
Island typology: Zorro = landlocked “island” — same jurisdiction arbitrage pattern, different geography.
9. Negative findings — tier them
| Finding | Implication |
| No Pitcairn in RNZ preliminary DOJ pass | Do not claim Epstein owned or flew to Pitcairn without primary |
| Pitcairn press = local offenders | Author must hold network hypothesis separate from trial record |
| DOJ no blackmail evidence memo | Official walk-back — not epistemic closure (9/11 blackmail §5) |
| Branson / Gates — no charges | Proximity dossiers only |
10. Search TODOs for next pass
