IGO Company LLC

IGO Company LLC was the vehicle through which Jeffrey Epstein held his 50% ownership interest in American Yacht Harbor (AYH) at St. Thomas, USVI. The marina was acquired by Island Global Yachting (IGY, controlled by Andrew Farkas/Island Capital Group LLC) in January 2007 for approximately $25 million from Sun Resorts. Epstein contributed 50% of total acquisition costs. The entity was formed 12/28/2006, one month before the 1/18/07 AYH closing, specifically for this investment.

FirstBank Puerto Rico account for IGO Company LLC (acct 7171030625, commercial checking) was opened 02/02/2007 with 'CREDITS ONLY ALLOWED' status, meaning no debit transactions were permitted on the account. Signatories were Jeffrey Epstein and Jeanne Brennan-Wiebracht (not Indyke as previously recorded for the FirstBank account). This is documented in the Holland & Knight production letter to AUSA Rossmiller dated April 15, 2020 (EFTA01273238), responding to a Grand Jury Subpoena to FirstBank PR dated December 31, 2019.

IGO Company LLC FirstBank PR account #7171030625 (Commercial Checking) opened 02/02/2007 with signatories Jeffrey Epstein and Jeanne Brennan-Wiebracht. Brennan had CREDITS ONLY access. Darren Indyke was added as signatory. Account was dormant throughout 2012 with balance of $274.96 (Feb-May 2012) rising to $1,974.96 (Jun-Dec 2012) on a single $1,700 credit. Address: American Yacht Harbor, 6100 Red Hook Quarter Ste B3, St Thomas VI 00802.

Epstein disputed IGY management of AYH: IGY extracted $4.5M while Epstein received only $250K. The $25M purchase price was questioned since an appraisal completed June 2007 valued the property at only $21M. Epstein accused Andrew Farkas/IGY of poor disclosure about the seller being an IGY affiliate. Harry Beller's Feb 2013 analysis showed AYH generated $7.1-7.2M gross annual revenue but was unprofitable after IGY's management fees (7.5% on gross) and payroll, with P&L losses of -$270K to -$295K per year from 2010-2012.

IGO Company LLC (also referred to as IGO L.L.C) was an Epstein USVI entity at American Yacht Harbor, 6100 Red Hook Quarter Ste B3, St Thomas VI 00802. FirstBank PR commercial checking account (7171030625) with dormant balance of .96 as of Feb 2012. Signatories: Jeffrey Epstein and Darren Indyke. Listed as 'IGO LLC Watercraft' in FirstBank account opening documentation, indicating it was a marine/watercraft holding entity. Deutsche Bank KYC review also covered this entity.

IGO Company LLCs FirstBank PR account was nearly dormant 2007-2012. Balance went from $274.96 to $1,974.96 after a single $2,000 deposit in June 2012 and one $300 check in the same month. No significant activity through 2012 statements. The Watercraft label on the bank signature card appears to be a cover description that never materialized operationally. The LLC was repurposed for crypto investment in 2014.

FirstBank PR monthly statements (EFTA01269867-series) show IGO Company LLC account 7171030625 was essentially dormant throughout 2012: static $274.96 balance Jan-May 2012, then $2,000 deposit 06/19/2012 and $300 check (#1008) 06/22/2012 bringing balance to $1,974.96. This minimal activity is inconsistent with the entity supposedly holding a 50% interest in a $25M marina generating $7M+ annual gross revenue. The real AYH investment flows were likely routed through IGY-AYH St Thomas Holdings LLC, not directly through this FirstBank account.

IGO Company LLC (USVI #571920) was the vehicle through which Jeffrey Epstein invested approximately $3 million in Coinbase Series C round in December 2014. Brock Pierce of Blockchain Capital introduced the deal. Despite being labeled Watercraft on FirstBank PR account card, IGO actual documented purpose was holding this crypto investment.

Southern Trust Company Inc. balance sheet (June 30, 2015) lists 'IGO LLC 3,000,002' as an investment in subsidiaries, alongside Southern Financial LLC (153,314,312) and Haze Trust (87,512,260). This confirms IGO Company LLC was a wholly-owned subsidiary of Southern Trust Company Inc., Epstein's primary USVI holding company, valued at approximately $3 million on a tax basis. The entity was held through STC before the 2017 Caterpillar Trust GRAT restructuring transferred its membership interest.

IGO Company LLC ownership chain underwent a specific restructuring: originally held as a subsidiary of Southern Trust Company Inc. (valued at $3,000,002 on the June 30, 2015 STC balance sheet), the 100% membership interest was transferred to The 2017 Caterpillar Trust (a GRAT) effective January 3, 2017 (EIN 28-6639711). Deutsche Bank's KYC states the Caterpillar Trust was designed to terminate two years after initial funding, at which point IGO Company LLC membership interest would transfer to The 2013 Butterfly Trust. This three-step chain (STC -> Caterpillar GRAT -> Butterfly Trust) is a classic estate planning structure to transfer a $3M watercraft asset at reduced gift/estate tax cost. The GRAT annuity payments went back to Epstein as grantor, while the 'remainder' (the IGO membership interest minus annuity value) passed to the Butterfly Trust beneficiaries tax-free.

IGO LLC valued at $3,000,002 as subsidiary of Southern Trust Company Inc on STC balance sheet (Statement of Assets, Liabilities and Shareholders Equity, Income Tax Basis) as of June 30, 2015. Listed alongside Southern Financial LLC ($153.3M) and Haze Trust ($87.5M). Total STC assets: $340.5M. The $3M valuation for a nominally dormant watercraft LLC suggests IGO held tangible assets (vessels) worth approximately that amount.

Richard Kahn confirmed distribution of $200,000 to each partner from AYH in April 2016, meaning both Epstein (via IGO Company) and Farkas/IGY each received $200K. Kahn communicated with Luke Brown (Controller, Corporate Accounting, Island Global Yachting, 201 E. McBee Ave Suite 301, Greenville SC 29601) and Mark Lande of IGY about quarterly financial statements. This shows AYH was actively distributing cash to partners as late as 2016.

IGO Company LLC ownership traced through GRAT structure: The 2017 Caterpillar Trust (EIN 28-6639711, GRAT formed Jan 2017) holds 100% membership interest in IGO Company LLC. Trust terminates two years from initial funding, with annual annuity distributions to grantor only. Upon termination, membership interest transfers to The 2013 Butterfly Trust. Grantor: Jeffrey Epstein. Trustees: Lesley Groff and Daphne Wallace. Beneficiaries: Jeffrey Epstein and The 2013 Butterfly Trust.

The 2017 Caterpillar Trust (EIN 28-6639711) was a Grantor Retained Annuity Trust formed January 2017 specifically to hold 100% membership interest in IGO Company LLC. Grantor: Jeffrey Epstein. Trustees: Lesley Groff and Daphne Wallace. Upon termination (2 years from funding), membership interest transfers to The 2013 Butterfly Trust. This created a tax-efficient structure to hold the appreciated Coinbase investment.

Deutsche Bank KYC for The 2017 Caterpillar Trust (EIN 28-6639711) confirms it was a Grantor Retained Annuity Trust formed 01/03/2017 holding 100% membership interest in IGO Company LLC. Grantor: Jeffrey Epstein. Trustees: Lesley Groff and Daphne Wallace. Beneficiaries: Jeffrey Epstein and The 2013 Butterfly Trust (upon termination). The trust was set to terminate two years from initial funding, with annual annuity distributions paid to the grantor only. Expected account volume: approx $300,000 USD. Less than 2 distributions annually between $0 and $100K.

AYH monthly rent/office expenses were $10,428-10,987 per month as of late 2017 (Sep $10,987, Oct $9,724, Nov $10,428). Epstein instructed Richard Kahn to 'hold' on paying these bills in November 2017, with 3 months outstanding totaling $31,149. Una Pascal (assistant) handled invoice processing.

Deutsche Bank KYC case 01898372 for The 2017 Caterpillar Trust (part of the Southern Financial relationship) specifically describes the trust as existing to hold IGO Company LLC membership interest: 'the purpose of this account is to hold the member interest in IGO Company LLC.' Expected account activity was 'less than 2 distributions on an annual basis between $0 and $100k' with expected assets of $300,000 USD. Trust EIN: 28-6639711. RUSH KYC clearance was needed by 02/07/2018 for 'an upcoming acquisition where funds will need to be available.' The Caterpillar Trust was designed to terminate two years from initial funding date, at which point the IGO Company LLC membership interest would transfer to The 2013 Butterfly Trust.

In February 2018, Blockchain Capital purchased 50% of Epsteins Coinbase position held through IGO Company LLC for $15 million. Three payments on 2018-02-21: Blockchain Capital Parallel Fund IV LP ($1.875M), BC III Digital Liquid Venture Fund LP ($2.625M), BC IV LP ($10.5M). Funds went to The 2017 Caterpillar Trust account at Deutsche Bank, which held the membership interest in IGO.

Epstein held investment/partnership interest in American Yacht Harbor (AYH) via IGY-AYH St Thomas Holdings LLC, a partnership with Andrew Farkas (Island Capital Group/Island Global Yachting). In April 2016, Epstein and Farkas agreed to distribute $200,000 to each partner from AYH. IGO Company LLC's registered address was at AYH (6100 Red Hook Quarter B3). Epstein also paid ~$10K/month office rent at AYH. Payments of $37,000 (4/26/2018) and $38,000 (5/3/2018) to 'American Yacht' from Epstein FirstBank account suggest additional marina/berth fees or investment payments.

FirstBank denied Epstein's request to open 6 additional deposit accounts on Feb 28, 2019 (3 weeks before Epstein got new passport on 3/8/2019). IGO Company LLC listed among 16 existing account relationships requiring beneficial ownership certification. The denial letter from VP Dina Perry-Malone was forwarded by Epstein to Richard Kahn and Cecile de Jongh. De Jongh confirmed FirstBank would continue to maintain existing accounts under platinum banking. This suggests enhanced scrutiny of Epstein's USVI banking in early 2019.

IGO Company LLC was registered at American Yacht Harbor (6100 Red Hook Quarter B3, St Thomas), a marina Epstein co-owned 50-50 with Andrew Farkas through IGY-AYH St Thomas Holdings LLC. Farkas, founder of Island Global Yachting (IGY), split ownership with Epstein circa 2007. The partnership remained secret until 2018 deposition. After Epsteins death, the estate sold its stake in 2021. Farkas then sold IGY for $480M to MarineMax in 2022.

Coinbase co-founder Fred Ehrsam discussed meeting Epstein regarding the $3M investment through IGO Company LLC. Ehrsam expressed availability for a meeting in NYC. Reid Hoffman advised Epstein against participating, stating he probably wouldnt play. Despite Hoffmans warning, Epstein proceeded with the investment through IGO. This connects Epstein to the Silicon Valley crypto ecosystem through Pierce and Ehrsam.

Holland & Knight LLP (attorney Michael E. Hantman) produced 7,537 documents (bates FirstBankPR000001-FirstBankPR007537) to AUSA Alex Rossmiller (SDNY) on April 15, 2020 in response to a Grand Jury Subpoena dated December 31, 2019 directed to FirstBank Puerto Rico. IGO Company LLC records were included in this production. Documents were separated into: Bank Opening Records (000005-001025), Manager's Checks (001026-001059), Monthly Account Statements (001060-007308), and Wire Transfer Records (007309-007537). This confirms IGO Company LLC bank records were part of the SDNY Grand Jury investigation into Epstein's financial network post-mortem.

USVI Registry confirms IGO Company LLC (ID 571920) was voluntarily terminated on 06/09/2022 after maintaining In Good Standing status from formation (12/28/2006) through 06/15/2022 - over 15 years. Last annual report filed 01/12/2022. Resident agent Business Basics VI LLC ([email protected]). This is notable as it was NOT administratively dissolved like many other Epstein USVI entities post-death, but deliberately wound down as part of estate proceedings, suggesting active estate management.

USVI registry confirms IGO Company LLC (#571920) was voluntarily terminated on 06/09/2022, NOT administratively dissolved. Entity maintained In Good Standing from formation (12/28/2006) to dissolution. Resident agent changed to Business Basics VI LLC ([email protected]) on 07/31/2019 -- 25 days after Epstein's arrest on 7/6/2019 and 21 days after his death on 8/10/2019. Last annual report filed 01/12/2022. Address changed from American Yacht Harbor to Royal Palms Professional Building, 9053 Estate Thomas Suite 101. Entity managed post-arrest by estate administrators.

IGO Company LLC voluntarily terminated 06/09/2022 per USVI registry (not merely administratively dissolved as previously believed). It was in good standing from formation 12/28/2006 through 06/15/2022. Last annual report filed 01/12/2022. Registered agent changed from Maria Tankenson Hodge to Business Basics VI LLC ([email protected]) at Royal Palms Professional Building 9053 Estate Thomas Ste 101. This voluntary termination during estate administration suggests deliberate wind-down of entity.

IGO Company LLC had ZERO litigation history across all court databases searched. CourtListener full-text search, party search, and case search returned no matches for IGO Company LLC as a litigant in any federal or state court. No admiralty/maritime cases, no commercial lawsuits, no regulatory actions. This is consistent with it being a dormant shell entity holding watercraft assets with minimal actual marine operations.

Watercraft fleet associated with Epstein's island operations identified from shipping logs and punchlist: Gibbs Quadski XL (amphibious, purchased May 2014 via Riva Pompano Beach for ~$48,900, color red, repaired by EBL Watercraft Inc in FL 2019), multiple Nautica boats (3+), Sportis boat, sailboat, crew boat (30ft Boulton Powerboat considered June 2015), barge(s), and 'Big N' (docked at AYH and PR -- likely vessel Nautilus). The Quadski was serviced at EBL Watercraft in FL with shipping via Tropical Shipping. IGO Company LLC was the watercraft holding entity but specific vessel registrations under IGO were not found in the document corpus.

IGO Company LLC is absent from all regulatory and lobbying databases: zero FARA registrations, zero LDA lobbying filings, zero OpenSanctions entries, zero ICIJ offshore records, zero OCCRP Aleph records. It does not appear in DS10 Deutsche Bank wire transfer records (despite Southern Trust Company and other USVI entities having significant DB wire activity). It is absent from DocumentCloud Epstein-related document collections (Giuffre v. Maxwell depositions, MCC records). It is absent from the Epstein 20K House Oversight documents and EpsteinExposed database. This comprehensive absence across regulatory, financial, and investigative databases is consistent with IGO Company LLC being a dormant asset-holding shell with no operational activity, no financial flows through Deutsche Bank, and no involvement in the regulatory or lobbying activities of other Epstein entities.

IGO Company LLC had NO Deutsche Bank account. Absent from all DS10 financial transaction records (579 transactions across 35+ entities). Only banking relationship was FirstBank PR account #7171030625. The 2017 Caterpillar Trust held IGO membership at Deutsche Bank for custody purposes only -- the DB account held the membership interest certificate, not an operating account. This means IGO's financial activity is limited to FirstBank records already reviewed, showing minimal cash flows through a nominally dormant commercial checking account.

USVI corporate registry confirms IGO Company, L.L.C. (entity #571920) was a Domestic Limited Liability Company registered 12/28/2006, now status 'Dissolved/Withdrawn.' Registered agent: Business Basics VI, LLC. Registered address: 9053 Estate Thomas Ste 101, Charlotte Amalie, 00802 VI US. Last Annual Report filed: 2021. This entity was ingested into registry.db as ID 86429. The KPMG IPI Forensic Review independently lists IGO Company L.L.C as entity #5 in Epstein's USVI corporate network with his role as 'Founder/Owner/President.'

The name IGO likely derives from Igor, a Russian staff member who served as security and personal aide to Epstein. Emails show Epstein addressing him as Igo (shortened form). Multiple emails from Epstein TO Igo confirm this was a regular nickname. Email EFTA01835382 CCs Igo and says have igor do it as well. EFTA01840226 CCs Igo and says I told igor to take his time. Igor traveled between Epsteins properties (island, NM, FL) and held a security license.

The Beneficial Owner Certification (31 CFR 1020.230) for IGO Company LLC (EFTA01268751) shows Jeffrey Epstein as both the person opening the account and the individual owning 25%+ of equity interests, with DOB 01/20/1953 and address 6100 Red Hook Quarter B3, St Thomas USVI 00802. Darren Indyke is listed as second signatory. The document was prepared by U.McNeil and authorized at FirstBank. The form carries dual bates stamps: SDNY_GM_00012904 and FirstBankPR000067, confirming it was produced both to SDNY Grand Jury and JPMorgan litigation.

Beneficial Owner Certification for IGO Company LLC (31 CFR 1020.230) filed with FirstBank PR. Jeffrey Epstein listed as 100% equity owner, CEO/manager, DOB 01/20/1953, USVI DL T-4200411933, US Passport 54538864. Entity address: 6100 Red Hook Quarter B3, St Thomas USVI 00802. Prepared by U. McNeil. Darren Indyke listed as second signatory. Document confirms IGO was directly owned by Epstein (prior to trust restructuring).

FirstBank beneficial ownership certification confirms: Jeffrey Epstein was 100% owner of IGO Company LLC. SSN-associated ID: USVI DL T-4200411933. DOB: 01/20/1953. Prepared by U. McNeil, authorized signatory. Account setup date 12/24 (likely December 2006, before formation date of 12/28/2006). Entity classified as 'IGO, LLC Watercraft' — confirming the entity designation was specifically for watercraft/marine operations, consistent with its function as AYH marina holding vehicle.

IGO Company LLC was formed 12/28/2006 in USVI. Organizer and initial manager: Jeanne Brennan (later Brennan-Wiebracht), Epstein USVI office manager. Registered agent: Maria Tankenson Hodge at 1340 Taarneberg St Thomas. Capital: $1,000. Manager-managed LLC at 6100 Red Hook Quarter Suite B-3, American Yacht Harbor. FirstBank PR account 7171030625 opened 02/02/2007. Original signatories at FirstBank: Epstein and Jeanne Brennan-Wiebracht (not Indyke as later stated). Account status: Credits Only Allowed.

No vessel named IGO exists in the USCG PSIX vessel documentation database. Search returned only partial matches (CONMIGO, AMIGOS, ABENDIGO, etc). Combined with the dormant bank account 2007-2014 and the general-purpose Operating Agreement, this confirms the Watercraft designation on the FirstBank account card was either a placeholder description or an abandoned initial purpose. IGO was used exclusively as an investment holding entity.

KPMG IPI Forensic Review (2020) lists IGO Company L.L.C. as entity #5 where Epstein was 'Founder/Owner/President', alongside Southern Trust Company Inc (#4), Southern Country International Ltd (#6), and Financial Strategy Group Ltd (#7). This confirms IGO Company was known to investigators as part of the Epstein corporate web.
