For those unaware, Epstein Island is a small private island in the United States Virgin Islands once owned by the controversial Jeffrey Epstein. The island gained notoriety due to its association with various criminal activities, including allegations of underage girls being taken there and exploited by Epstein and his associates.
Oliveira's video on the island has once again been trending after he uploaded the entire vlog to X on March 25, 2024. The video naturally garnered a lot of reactions from the community due to the sensitive nature of the subject matter.
In the video, Oliveira was seen accompanied by a local guide on a jet ski as they entered the heavily guarded Little Saint James island, popularly known as Epstein Island.
As the video progressed, Oliveira explained his route plan. Since he couldn't approach the island head-on due to security measures, he outlined his intention to maneuver through the island's backside despite it being a steeper slope and presumably less guarded.
He eventually made it to the island, where he observed changes to the infrastructure. For example, he noted a blue and white striped temple-like building that had been completely whitewashed, with its doors blocked off. Here is a before and after comparison of the building:
Despite roaming around the island for a few minutes, Oliveira was eventually discovered by a security van patrolling the island. Nevertheless, he quickly dashed to the edge of the island and managed to board his rescue ship, narrowly escaping further detection.
In the final moments of the video, Tyler Oliveira explained that during his return to the airport to board his plane back to America, he was followed by a police vehicle. However, the aftermath of this encounter was not filmed or included in the video.
Aside from his own YouTube channel, Tyler Oliveira is also an affiliate of popular YouTuber Jimmy "MrBeast."
