He is reportedly asking for about $3 million for the 2008 Sikorsky S-76 — which, creepily enough, is outfitted with two “four-person divans” that face each other rather than individual seats, so passengers can cuddle up and he could fit up to eight people.
Jeffrey Epstein is selling off his fancy helicopter, which he allegedly used to shuttle to the Hamptons and to his private jet at Teterboro Airport in New Jersey from his Manhattan party pad. The wealthy convicted sex offender is reportedly asking for about $3 million for his sleek 2008 Sikorsky S-76 — which, creepily enough, is outfitted with two “four-person divans” that face each other rather than individual seats, so passengers can cuddle up and he could fit up to eight people on board at a time.
reports that Epstein is selling the chopper at a deep discount because he needs liquid assets to post bail, which his lawyer said could reach as much as $100 million. Epstein was arrested in New York on involving allegations that date to the early 2000s.
The 66-year-old financier has reportedly pleaded “not guilty” to charges of conspiracy and child sex trafficking in the abuse of dozens of underage girls between 2002 and 2005. He did, however, plead guilty to two charges of soliciting prostitution from a minor in 2008, even though federal agents have identified at least 36 girls as young as 14 who potentially had been molested.
According to prosecutors, Epstein used a private jet — dubbed the Lolita Express — to shuttle girls between estates in New York, Palm Beach, Fla., and the Virgin Islands, between 2002 and 2005.
His pilots have been hit with federal grand jury subpoenas after they refused to cooperate with authorities. Investigators reportedly want to know who the passengers were on certain flights, but the pilots have “lawyered up” and refused to answer questions.
Epstein was first convicted nearly a decade ago but he received an extremely light non-prosecution deal. According to , he continued to see young women in his office in Palm Beach even when he was serving time. Miami Herald reporter Julie Brown, whose investigation revealed the role of Alexander Acosta, former Labor Secretary, as the broker of Epstein's plea deal first revealed this in an interview with Alec Baldwin on his podcast 'Here's the Thing'.
According to a report in the , Epstein allegedly told scientists and businessmen in the early 2000s that he dreamed of using his ranch property in New Mexico as a place where women would get inseminated with his sperm so as to .
Epstein’s attorney was not available for comment about the sale of the helicopter.
