ALBAWABA - A Turkish streamer called Fatih Koparan recently went viral after taking to social media with a video of him infiltrating the late sex offender Jeffrey Epstein's Island (also known as Little Saint James).
Kopran took to X (formerly Twitter) to promote his YouTube video and wrote, "I went to Epstein Island, talked to the people working on the island. The documentary is live on YouTube."
According to Universal News on X, citing the Turkish streamer who said, "We did what was said to be impossible. Right now, we’re in the most intriguing place in the world, but there are no influencers here."

Several other content creators around the world attempted Koparan's stunt, which involved entering the notorious island illegally. This included famous Jordanian YouTuber Aburob, Nico Grigg, and many others.
In response, Aburob was sent a mandatory cease-and-desist letter from LSG Properties, warning him to delete all content related to his visit to Espetín Island or face a hefty fine and legal action. Grigg also took to social media and told his fans that since he left the island, he had been constantly watched by unknown individuals.
As of recently, sneaking into the Island has become a trend among influencers, with videos garnering millions of views on platforms such as YouTube.
Similar to Aburob, influencers would fly to St. Thomas, the nearest Island to Epstein Island, speak to local guides, rent a jet ski and snorkeling equipment, and head to the late sex offender's place, as reported by NBC News.
However, Kopran took a different approach in his YouTube video, filming it as an educational documentary about what happened on Epstein Island, Ghislaine Maxwell's links to it, and interviewing employees who worked in it.
He wrote in the YouTube video's description, "In this documentary, I share confessions I heard from people who worked on the island, my own observations, and everything I learned about the Epstein case. This video is one of the most challenging and comprehensive investigations I have ever conducted."
