The latest reports from “Little St. Jeff’s,” the notorious Caribbean hideaway of Jeffrey Epstein, are startling. One recent visitor was allegedly hog-tied naked. Would-be interlopers on jet skis have been chased away. Another, apparently, was bound with duct tape and assaulted in the presence of police officers. Epstein has been dead for almost seven years, but this strange new drama is now playing out on what was once his private island — Little St. James in the US Virgin Islands. The new owner, distressed-debt billionaire and Black Diamond founder Stephen Deckoff, has been besieged by curiosity-seekers and voyeurs. On today's episode, hosts Carol Massar and Tim Stenovec speak with: Sri Natarajan, Bloomberg News Chief Wall Street Correspondent & Ava Benny-Morrison, Bloomberg News Senior Legal Reporter on how the new owner of Jeffrey Epstein's private island has been dealing with curiosity-seekers, voyeurs and other unwanted visitors Gerry Doyle, Bloomberg News Global Defense Editor on BIG TAKE: China’s Secretive Missile Program Is Making Dozens of Companies Rich John Connors, CEO of Boathouse on C-suite report about AI and the labor market
