🚫 Neighbor to a monster: the fashion mogul who partnered with Epstein
Peter Nygard’s story isn't a simple tale of disgrace. It’s the conviction of a billionaire sex trafficker whose decades of predation were intertwined with Jeffrey Epstein’s own network of abuse.
Here are the essential facts of his downfall:
🌏 From Helsinki to a billion-dollar empire: the Finnish-born, naturalized Canadian built Nygard International into a fashion powerhouse valued at over $1 billion.
🌏 A gilded trap: his public image—the flamboyant billionaire with a yacht and a Bahamian estate, "Nygard Cay"—masked a horrific reality. For over 25 years, he used modeling promises to lure girls as young as 14 to his compound, where he drugged and raped more than 80 victims.
🌏 The arrest: in December 2020, the FBI’s pursuit led to his arrest in Winnipeg for extradition to the US.
🌏 A new depth of horror: investigations revealed a secret program to impregnate trafficked women, force abortions at his offshore biotech company, and harvest fetal stem cells for his personal "longevity" experiments.
🌏 Conviction & testimony: found guilty on all federal sex trafficking charges in a 2023 New York trial, his 10-year sentence followed harrowing survivor accounts of a "pyramid scheme" of recruitment and a Bahamas estate designed for abuse, complete with hidden doors and a "grooming room."
🌏 The Epstein connection—proven and proximate: Nygard’s primary estate, "Nygard Cay," was directly adjacent to Epstein’s Little St. James Island. Testimony confirmed they were not just neighbors but partners: the men had an understanding to share victims, referring girls between their islands. Ghislaine Maxwell facilitated the exchange and was a guest at Nygard’s properties. Nygard is also listed on the flight logs for Epstein’s "Lolita Express."
🌏 An identical blueprint: their method was the same: leverage immense wealth and false promises on private islands, beyond normal legal reach, using recruiters to trap the vulnerable.
🌏 The network of power: lawsuits alleged Nygard dangled access to magnates, politicians, and royalty as part of his lure. His prolific political donations in the Bahamas and Canada raised questions about buying influence to shield his crimes. To date, however, no other major figures have been criminally implicated in his trafficking scheme—a stark contrast to the ongoing Epstein saga.
