Jeffrey Epstein’s private island spotted on Pokemon Go
· Toronto Sun
Pokemon Go players were shocked upon finding a digital landmark in one of the world’s most notorious locations: Little Saint James — the private island owned by late billionaire and convicted sex trafficker Jeffrey Epstein.

Players of the mobile game — which lets players catch the digital creatures in real locations around the world — found the “Sun Clock” on the tiny island that was once owned by Epstein and served as the alleged base of operations for his child sex trafficking and other sick crimes.
The game, from software company Niantic, uses GPS technology to overlay a virtual reality map over the real world, with roads and bodies of water appearing in the game.
Players search for, catch and battle the Pokemon creatures, as well as collect items in various ways, including at Pokestops that are scattered around the map and are marked with a photograph and label of that location.
The locations vary from places of worship, public parks and libraries, to university campuses, theme parks and zoos.
Terms of service violations
However, some Pokemon Go players have been violating Niantic’s terms of service and spoofing their location where the Pokestop sits on an outdoor sundial, Gaming Bible reported.

The website assured that the Pokestop on the island was not necessarily submitted by Epstein or anyone else who was on the island, noting that a rogue player probably thought it would “be funny to submit Epstein Island as an official Pokestop.”
Given the game’s guidelines for users to submit Pokestops in locations where there is “safe pedestrian access,” it appeared to have violated the rules.
Niantic has since “removed the [Epstein Island] Pokestop from the game,” Gaming Bible confirmed.
Epstein’s praise of Pokemon Go
That said, Epstein was very aware of Pokemon Go, according to some recently released emails, per Mediaite .
Soon after Pokemon Go launched in the U.S. in July 2016, an email apparently sent by Epstein to Sheikh Fahad Bin Hamad bin Khalifa Al Thani, the second son of the former Emir of Qatar, tells him to “check out pokemon (sic) go if you have not already the first of augmented games.”
In another email chain included in the files, Epstein appears to send a message to Deepak Chopra, and the pair’s exchange focuses on “fundamental reality.”
Epstein then Chopra to “[look] at the new pokemon go [app],” describing it as “the first of many augmented reality [games],” and suggesting Chopra could have an app developed that “allows people to [look] at their phone and detect an aura about each other.”
He noted that the app “would kill [the] market,” then encouraged Chopra to, again, “look up [the] app and imagine,” adding “wow.”
