Record
VERIFIED FROM USVI REGISTRY 2026-09-06. Last annual report filed 2023. Entity number 581872 is CONSECUTIVE with Southern Trust 581871.
Sole member of Great St Jim LLC; 10,000 shares bequeathed to Karyna Shuliak
USVI AG spells it 'Poplar, Inc.' — resolves the Popular/Poplar variant.
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.
AG COMPLAINT paras 30-32: incorporated 2011-11-22 (matches registry). Purpose in corporate filings: 'holding property for personal use.' A certificate of incumbency provided to the VI Dept of Planning and Natural Resources lists Epstein as president and authorizes the incorporators to conduct 'transactions related to permitting matters submitted on behalf of Great St. Jim, LLC.' Poplar is the signatory on Great St. Jim LLC's 2017 Annual Report and the signature appears to be Epstein's. The Petition for Probate lists Poplar, Inc. as holding title to Great St. James. NAMED DEFENDANT in ST-20-CV-14.
FILING HISTORY PULLED 2026-09-06: 2019 annual report filed 2019-09-09 19:32 — THIRTY DAYS AFTER EPSTEIN'S DEATH. Different date from Nautilus, so there was no single coordinated 2019-07-31 filing event across the structure.
