Daphne Wallace served as a financial and administrative manager in Jeffrey Epstein's U.S. Virgin Islands operations for nearly a decade, from late 2010 through July 5, 2019 -- one day before Epstein's arrest. Her formal title was LSJE Accountant (Little Saint James Enterprises) at Southern Trust Company, Inc., Epstein's USVI-based administrative entity operating from 6100 Red Hook Quarters Suite B3, St.
Thomas. Wallace's responsibilities extended far beyond traditional accounting. She managed property operations on both Little Saint James and Great Saint James islands, coordinated vendors and contractors, oversaw construction projects, processed invoices and payroll, arranged travel for contractors and officials, scheduled meetings with USVI government officials including Governor Kenneth Mapp, and coordinated hurricane preparedness logistics.
She managed shipping operations via Tropical Shipping for building supplies and oversaw projects ranging from mold remediation to helipad irrigation. Wallace worked within a defined reporting structure at Southern Trust Company alongside Office Manager Cecile de Jongh (wife of former USVI Governor John de Jongh), Head Accountant Jeanne Brennan, IT Manager Jermaine Ruan, and Project Manager Rich Kahn. Her most frequent email correspondents included Rich Kahn (5,086 shared emails), Epstein himself (5,087), Ann Rodriguez (4,426), and Lesley Groff (1,819).
On March 12, 2018, Wallace became an authorized signer on The 2017 Caterpillar Trust, one of Epstein's financial entities at Deutsche Bank, alongside longtime executive assistant Lesley Groff. Despite her signer status, Deutsche Bank records show she received zero direct payments through the bank. Epstein's final trust, "The 1953 Trust," signed August 8, 2019 -- two days before his death -- named Wallace as beneficiary of $1,000,000 (bequest #26 of 48).
Her bequest matched those of her Southern Trust colleagues: Cecile de Jongh (#23), Jeanne Brennan Wiebracht (#24), Jermaine Ruan (#25), and Una Pascal (#38), each receiving $1,000,000. Wallace appears in approximately 14,155 documents in the case file archive, primarily operational emails documenting the daily management of Epstein's island properties. She is referenced in Deutsche Bank account records, the USVI Attorney General's investigation materials, and DOJ EFTA releases.
