VERIFIED FROM USVI REGISTRY 2026-09-06. Last annual report filed 2024 — still filing five years after Epstein's death. Administratively dissolved (lapsed), NOT voluntarily dissolved. NOTE: secondary sources called this a Delaware entity with CT Corporation as agent; the USVI registry lists it as a DOMESTIC VI corporation. Either the aggregation is wrong or there are two entities. Unresolved. | Renamed from Financial Infomatics Inc. DeJongh = USVI First Lady 2007-2015 | SAC para 31 (USVI v. JPMorgan, Doc 119, filed 2023-04-12): 'Epstein's lawyer, Darren K. Indyke, and accountant, Richard Kahn, now the Co-Executors of Epstein's Estate, authorized or directed many of the transactions in JP Morgan accounts held by Epstein or related entities,' citing USVI v. Indyke, ST-20-CV-14 paras 8-10, 76-117. ALLEGATION, not a finding. | NAMED DEFENDANT in USVI v. Indyke et al., ST-20-CV-14. | AG COMPLAINT para 76: Indyke and Kahn were 'deeply involved in the financial activities' of Southern Trust, 'which made clear that Southern Trust DID NOT PROVIDE THE SERVICES DESCRIBED to the Government as the basis for tax incentives that allowed Epstein to FRAUDULENTLY OBTAIN MORE THAN $80 MILLION from the Government.' (Complaint elsewhere states $80,576,236.) This is the USVI Economic Development Commission benefit. ALLEGATION. | AG COMPLAINT para 37 — RESOLVES TWO OPEN QUESTIONS. Originally incorporated in the VIRGIN ISLANDS on 2011-11-18 as FINANCIAL INFORMATICS, INC. (the AG spells it 'Informatics'; the registry date matches this row exactly), and CHANGED ITS NAME to Southern Trust Company in SEPTEMBER 2012. The secondary claim that this was a Delaware entity with CT Corporation as agent is therefore WRONG. Officers 2011 to at least 2018: Epstein President/Director and SOLE OWNER; KAHN Treasurer/Director; INDYKE Secretary/Director. ASSETS: $198.5 million at end of 2013; $391.3 million four years later. Tenant at American Yacht Harbor, Red Hook; Epstein described as a 'passive investor' in IGY-AYH d/b/a American Yacht Harbor. | *** USVIEDA 2019 ANNUAL REPORT, TABLE 3: the VIEDC Compliance Division reviewed Southern Trust for 2013-02-01 to 2017-12-31 and issued a finding of FULL-COMPLIANCE dated 2018-11-15 (St. Thomas). Of ten reviews in that table, EIGHT were Non-Compliance and only two were Full-Compliance. Fourteen months later the USVI Attorney General alleged the entity 'did not provide the services described to the Government as the basis for tax incentives' and fraudulently obtained $80,576,236 — over a period that overlaps the cleared review period. Two arms of the same government in documented contradiction. The annual report defines neither 'Full-Compliance' nor the review methodology. Source: usvieda.org 2019 Annual Report (public, ungated).
