The investigation by Zalingo Data Refinery is shedding new light on the scale of travel associated with Epstein’s island.
The analysis found 2,348 additional connections to Epstein Island across 5,253 flight records between 1995 and 2007, adding up to at least 4,966 reported and unreported flights to the island.
Researchers also identified 1,089 previously unknown flight routes, linking major financial hubs with private destinations.
The findings were compiled from publicly available Justice Department records and validated against three independent sources to ensure accuracy, the team said.

CEO of Zalingo Data Refinery said: “Being a father, the Epstein scandal really disturbed me.
“The American Government are putting a cap on what information they will reveal.
“I thought ‘what the heck’ the world has the right to know what is going on, why are these people hiding behind anonymity.
“I thought, with my date company, I had the ability to find out more information, and that is what I did.
“I thought, let’s do it and see what is going on.”
The primary sourcing materials included in the data investigation included released documents from the Department of Justice, public light logs and analysis of datasets.
They then validated the information against three independent sources of information to check its accuracy.
CEO of Zalingo Data Refinery, said: “Zalingo Data Refinery has completed a proprietary data refinement and investigative analysis of the Epstein flight logs.
“Our priority refinery investigation leveraged advanced data correlation and entity resolution techniques to uncover previously unreported patterns and connections.”
Through the investigation, Zalingo Data Refinery found that there were 2,348 more individuals who visited Epstein Island.

“We uncovered that 2,348 individuals went to that island, which is a huge increase from the 150-200 people we know about.
“The sheer scale of people who went to the Island shows it was more than a new naughty people doing naughty things.”
The data also revealed that there were “structured travel patterns” out of 5,253 flights.
It showed that 36.1 per cent of the flights to the island came from New York City, 18.8 per cent came from Palm Beach, Florida, and 14.1 per cent came from the US Virgin Islands.
The CEO said: “Analysis of 5,253 flights reveals concentrated origin patterns with significant clustering around specific geographic hubs.
“The data shows a network primarily originating from major financial centers and private aviation hubs rather than distributed locations.”
The data showed that 47.2 per cent of flights came from financial power centers, like New York, London, and Geneva.
28.4 per cent came from residential hubs, including Palm Beach, US Virgin Islands, and New Mexico. And that five per cent of flights came from Washington DC.
In the conclusion of their findings, Zalingo Data Refinery said: “Our investigation uncovered significant previously unreported patterns and connections within the Epstein flight logs.
“The scale of identified entity matches and route patterns suggest a more extensive network than publicly acknowledged.”
Our findings indicate structured travel patterns and professional network interactions that warrant further specialized investigation.
