Notable Quotes 2
After the Epstein story broke the news, I instantly remembered the Boston St. Thomas flight and knew with almost certainty that Dan Ryan was the "CHARTER BROKER" fulfilling the requests to transport people into and of out of St. Thomas on behalf of Jeffrey Epstein or his representatives.
I suspected this woman might have or be transporting drugs. She was questioned for several hours by ST Thomas Customs on her return. The only info gathered was that she was an escort and not drug related.
