Great St. James - the second island nobody talks about
JE purchased Great St. James in 2016 for $18M. Less discussed than Little St. James:
**What we know:**
- Larger island (160+ acres)
- Purchased through shell company
- Construction started immediately
- Workers recruited from multiple locations
**Construction permits:**
- Guest houses
- Amphitheater
- Infrastructure
- Projects stopped after 2019 arrest
**Current status:**
- Owned by estate
- Environmental violations pending
- USVI attempting to force sale
Why buy a second island in 2016? The timing, post-conviction, is notable.
