A YouTuber has gone viral after sneaking onto Little Saint James, the island previously owned by sex trafficker Jeffrey Epstein. Nico Grigg documented his excursion to the notorious island, including how he was able to get past security, and posted what he found to his YouTube channel, but he’s now facing some terrifying consequences.
Nico travelled to the U.S. Virgin Islands before laying out his plan to gain access to the restricted island which saw billionaire elites gather and allegedly commit horrific crimes against minors. The island has since been bought by billionaire Stephen Deckoff. The billionaire allegedly plans to turn it into an “adults only” resort. In the video, Nico spoke with locals, some who claimed to have been to the island, others shared their belief that Epstein was still alive.
How did Nico get to Epstein’s island?
Nico and his friend’s method of arrival on the island was relatively simple, after multiple failed attempts the group were able to take jet skis out and travel across the water. At first they only circled the island, unable to get too close. However, on his final attempt, Nico eventually finds the right opportunity to get off his vehicle and wade onto the beach.
His feet only touch land for a brief few moments, maybe a couple of minutes tops, but he achieved his goal and successfully evaded security. Nico is likely one of the few non-billionaires to have stepped foot on the shores of Little Saint James in a long time. He may have thought that when he left the island that would be the end of it, but it seems the island wasn’t quite done with him.
Nico notices he’s being followed
Shortly after posting the Jeffrey Epstein island video, Nico would post a worrying follow-up to his YouTube channel and TikTok account. In the video, which was posted three days later, he claims that he’s noticed black SUVs parked outside his home everyday. “I’m not sure what they want or who they are but I’m posting this here now just in case anything happens.”
Of course, it can’t be said for certain that these mysterious SUVs are linked to Nico’s journey to Little Saint James but it is a very weird coincidence. Nico seems concerned for his safety and viewers share in his concern as well. One viewer jokingly alluded to his imminent death and possible cover-up, writing “sorry about your car crash in 2 days,” Nico responded saying, “These comments are actually starting to scare me.”
In another video Nico tries to confront one of the vehicles lurking outside his home. As he approaches the car speeds off which further terrifies Nico. In a more recent video the YouTuber tells his viewers to assume he’s not alive if he doesn’t post.
While this is a terrifying situation, it’s worth remembering that Nico is a content creator. This could very well be staged (or exaggerated) for views. We’re not saying that’s definitely the case, but it’s always a possibility. Regardless, Nico is continuing to update his audience on his situation which seems to be getting more and more worrying.
