Brice Gordon** ran the day-to-day operations of Jeffrey Epstein's private island and New Mexico ranch for years — and more than 2,800 federal documents detail exactly what that work looked like.
Based at 6100 Red Hook Quarters, Suite B3, in St. Thomas, U.S. Virgin Islands, Gordon managed procurement, construction contracts, vendor disputes, freight logistics, and visitor arrivals across two of Epstein's most significant properties: Little Saint James and Zorro Ranch. His role placed him at the intersection of Epstein's financial network and physical infrastructure.

The Man Running Little Saint James
Gordon operated through LSJE LLC — Little Saint James Estate — the corporate entity that held the island. An American Express Plum Card in the LSJE LLC account, documented in federal records from September and October 2018, shows Gordon purchasing supplies across two jurisdictions simultaneously.
In Albuquerque, New Mexico: Home Depot ($2,920.49), Lowe's, Pottery Barn, Sportsman's Warehouse, and Doc Savage Supply ($1,126.32). In St. Thomas: Food Center Supermarket, Moe's Fresh Market, and Caribbean Battery ($847). Billing on every charge ran back to 575 Lexington Avenue, New York — Epstein's Manhattan headquarters.
The Quicken register categories on the same account are precise: Household Goods & Supplies, Household Repair & Maintenance (Plumbing), tagged to LSJ and Staff Cottage GSJ. Every line item was tracked back to the island's operating ledger. Document EFTA01223023 captures thirty-five pages of this accounting.
Freight, Locks, and Shipments to St. Thomas
Logistics records show the scale of Gordon's procurement role. A November 2018 UPS freight delivery sent 30 Schlage AL Series passage latch locks — model AL10S-JUP-613, Oil Rubbed Bronze finish — from Lock Depot Inc. in Wellington, Florida to Gordon's St. Thomas office.
The order total was $3,790.80. Freight was collect. The billing address, again, was 575 Lexington Avenue, New York. Document EFTA00809823 includes the full freight invoice and customs documentation, with ICE noted as an organizational contact in the records.
Separate ocean bill-of-lading records show Gordon listed as the notify party on additional shipments to the same Red Hook Quarters address. Federal freight documents capture the supply chain that kept the island operational.
Zorro Ranch: Phone Systems and a $10,000 Dispute
Gordon's responsibilities extended 2,000 miles northwest to Epstein's Zorro Ranch in New Mexico. In June 2012, he forwarded a vendor proposal to Epstein for a new NCP 1000 telephone system: 8 analog lines, 48 IP licenses, voicemail capability — total cost $36,495 ($23,995 materials, $12,500 labor).
Epstein's reply, preserved in document EFTA01883296: "no voice mail."
Seven years later, Gordon was still managing Zorro Ranch contracts — and defending them. In January 2019, Richard Kahn of HBRK Associates (Epstein's financial manager) flagged a contractor invoice for the Red House refurbishment as overstated. Kahn said the bid should be $77,048; the submitted invoice was $87,323 — a discrepancy of $10,275.
Gordon pushed back directly. "The proposal outlines very clearly the scope of work," he wrote in document EFTA01028608, "and clearly indicated the corrections made, due to error." He also flagged a separate warranty claim on a water heater installed by Horizon Mechanical in February 2016 — cross-referencing years of prior work history.
Visitor Logistics: The Craig Martin Arrival
Gordon's role was not limited to physical infrastructure. In April 2012, he coordinated the arrival of a man named Craig Martin at Little Saint James for what Lesley Groff — Epstein's personal assistant — described as an "interview process" instructed by JE.
Initially, Gordon pushed back on the visit timing. "Can't see the benefit of having him here when no one is around," he wrote. After speaking with Epstein directly, Gordon relayed the updated schedule: Martin to arrive no earlier than April 10, with off-island accommodations on the 10th and 11th, departing the 14th. Gordon's team would handle pickup and drop-off.
Document EFTA02172409 captures the full exchange between Gordon, Groff, and the visitor logistics chain. Gordon's footer on correspondence during this period identified him simply as: Brice Gordon, Little Saint James, USVI.
Inside the Operations Chain
The documents position Gordon clearly within Epstein's operational hierarchy. He reported to Epstein directly on property decisions, through Richard Kahn on financial approvals, and coordinated logistics with Lesley Groff on staffing and visitor scheduling.
A February 2013 email chain, document EFTA02724717, shows Gordon, Kahn, Epstein, and a fourth contact — Richard Barnett — exchanging information about the "Library Chiller System" at one of the properties. A 2015 email to "jeffrey E." references the Log Cabin. Landscaping proposals from Coral Bay Garden Center tied to the island appear in separate records.
Gordon also handled cell phone infrastructure for New Mexico operations. Document EFTA02161311 shows a communication thread labeled "NM Cell" — the ranch's mobile connectivity arrangements.
The breadth of the records — 2,800 documents across multiple federal production volumes — reflects how central Gordon's operational role was to the day-to-day function of properties at the heart of the Epstein investigation.
What the Documents Show
Brice Gordon's name appears throughout the federal production not as a financial architect or executive, but as the person who made the properties work: ordering hardware, disputing contractor invoices, scheduling arrivals, managing freight across federal jurisdictions.
For investigators and researchers, the LSJE LLC billing records, procurement logs, and email chains constitute a granular operational history of two properties that federal authorities spent years examining. Gordon himself has not been publicly charged with any crime in connection with the Epstein case.
