one assumes he needed a venue where he was protected from replies and being ratiod
edit: someone with a twitter should tweet a link to this medium post at him and say they just wanted to let him know some loser asshole is writing dumb essays and signing his name to them
He wasn't on the island, or at least there's no documentation of it that I've seen. He was at Epstein's Paris apartment on multiple occasions and is documented meeting Epstein and Woody Allen at a restaurant in new York City, and Epstein definitely helped him "find" a couple hundred thousand dollars to fund some university program (ALL of this occurring after the 2008 conviction and registry on the sex offender list); but as far as I know we have nothing placing him on the Island specifically.
