(ANSA) - NEW YORK, 11 FEB - Representatives of the real estate assets of the financier Jeffrey Epstein, found hanged in August 2018 in the New York prison where he was detained on charges of abuse, prostitution and child trafficking, are trying to sell his two properties in the US Virgin Islands to fund a victim compensation program, which has suspended all payments since last week.
Epstein has a private island, Little St. James, bought in 1998, where he built a huge mansion, and in 2016 he also bought the nearby Great St. James Island.
Dan Weiner, attorney for the former financier's properties, told CNN that the co-executors received "expressions of interest from numerous parties regarding the two Virgin Island properties and 2-3 purchase offers".
Epstein's other properties for sale include a ranch in New Mexico, a villa in Palm Beach, Florida, and the 10-bedroom home on Manhattan's Upper East Side.
