The chronological log of the [[Operation Leap Year]] investigation kept by the [[U.S. Attorney's Office for the Southern District of Florida]] records grand jury subpoenas returnable August 18, 2006 to Epstein's aviation companies [[Hyperion Air]], Inc. and JEGE, Inc.[^3] The draft indictment prepared in that office in 2007 recited overt acts in which girls identified as Jane Does were flown "aboard the Boeing 727 aircraft owned by JEGE, INC." NBC News reported that a May 2007 prosecution memorandum sought approval to charge Epstein, JEGE, Inc., Hyperion Air, Inc. and three redacted co-conspirators in a sealed 60-count indictment. No indictment was filed; the [[Epstein non-prosecution agreement|non-prosecution agreement]] of September 2007 disposed of the federal case, and JEGE kept the 727 for another twelve years.[^2][^4]

The grand jury subpoena log of the investigation, kept under Lions number 2006R01181, assigns control number OLY-47 to a subpoena for the "business records" of "JEGE, Inc., Custodian of Records," with an appearance date of May 8, 2007 and no return date entered; OLY-46, the preceding entry, is the identical subpoena to Hyperion Air, Inc. A subpoena to the Epstein company [[NES, LLC]] asked for records "relating to the transfer of fund to or from any account owned by NES, LLC to or from any account owned by JEGE, Inc., Jeffrey E. Epstein, Hyperion Air, Inc., Financial Trust Co., New York Strategy Group, Inc., J. Epstein Virgin Islands Foundations, Inc., and/or Epstein Interests." A letter from the office to the defense lawyer [[Gerald Lefcourt]] on August 16, 2007 stated that "the money laundering investigation continues, and Request Number 6 will not be withdrawn," and that "the information provided regarding the pilots came from the corporate records of Hyperion and JEGE, Inc., not NES."[^5]

### The JPMorgan Accounts
|

|

[[JPMorgan Chase]] prepared a "Confidential Due Diligence Report" on JEGE, Inc. dated March 4, 2010, and another in March 2013 noting that "This is an entity 100% owned by Jeffrey Epstein"; a JPMorgan entity account application for JEGE LLC signed February 11, 2013 identified Epstein as its sole owner. The bank described the purpose of the JEGE accounts, as it did that of [[Air Ghislaine, Inc.]], as "Operational management of one of his business entities that result from his financial advisory business."[^5]

### JEGE, LLC

On May 30, 2013 a 1988 Gulfstream G-IV, serial number 1085, registered N423TT, was registered to JEGE, LLC of St. Thomas, with Lawrence Visoski signing as manager. The company's 2013 statement to the FAA gave its formation date as October 19, 2012 and its members as "Jeffrey EPSTEIN and Lawrence VISOSKI." Visoski changed the registration to N212JE in July 2013 and to N120JE in August 2017; the number N212JE then passed to the Gulfstream G550 of [[Plan D LLC]].[^1] The territory's 2022 complaint against Epstein's estate listed JEGE LLC among the Virgin Islands companies in what it called the Epstein Enterprise, most of which were "created in 2011 and 2012, soon after Epstein registered as a sex offender in the Virgin Islands."[^7]

Visoski changed the registration to N212JE in July 2013 and to N120JE in August 2017; the number N212JE then passed to the Gulfstream G550 of [[Plan D LLC]].[^1] That aircraft, a Gulfstream GV-SP (G550), serial number 5173, had been registered N415LM to [[Chevron|Chevron USA Inc.]] of Oakland, California, which sold it to Plan D on March 29, 2017, with Visoski signing as manager; Plan D's statement to the FAA named Epstein as a member and Visoski as manager. By a bill of sale dated December 22, 2020, the FAA agent wrote, "Lawrence VISOSKI on behalf of Plan D LLC 'sold' N212JE to Six G Aviation LLC who 'sold' it the same day to N550GP LLC in Ontario, CA." It was registered to N550GP LLC on February 24, 2021, with the manager of its member, Frontier JV LLC, signing, and took the number N550GP in March 2021.[^1] On May 11, 2021 N550GP, LLC pledged the aircraft, still "N212JE (Pending change to N550GP)," to [[Bank of Hope]] under an aircraft security agreement signed by its manager, who in the same month signed as chief financial officer of the company that bought Hyperion Air's helicopter N722JE.[^8][^9] The FAA's Aircraft Registration Branch in [[Oklahoma City]] certified a copy of the aircraft's file on August 23, 2021, and the copy entered the discovery production of the [[U.S. Attorney's Office for the Southern District of New York|Southern District of New York]] in the prosecution of [[Ghislaine Maxwell]]; a paralegal of that office listed among the FAA registration files it needed unlocked on September 10, 2021 one titled "N550GP was N212JE was N415LM registration."[^10][^11] The territory's 2022 complaint against Epstein's estate listed JEGE LLC among the Virgin Islands companies in what it called the Epstein Enterprise, most of which were "created in 2011 and 2012, soon after Epstein registered as a sex offender in the Virgin Islands."[^12]

On September 8, 2014 a flight chartered by JEGE LLC carried five passengers, among them the [[New Mexico]] attorney general and Democratic gubernatorial nominee [[Gary King]] and his running mate, [[Deb Haaland]], from Santa Fe to Washington; the campaign reported paying 22,060 dollars to the charter company [[Injet]], and at 5:36 a.m. the next day a charter booker emailed Epstein's accountant [[Richard Kahn]] and Visoski that the plane was "on the ground at IAD." King later said his staff had told him that [[Bill Richardson]] was helping to arrange an airplane and that "we didn't have any reason to know or believe that it was a plane that was owned by Jeffrey Epstein"; a spokesperson for Haaland said the way the plane was chartered "was never communicated to her."[^8][^9]
